Sell a Fire, Water or Storm Damaged House in Delray Beach
After serious damage, you are suddenly a project manager: adjusters, estimates, mitigation companies, permits, and a building you cannot live in. Rebuilding is a real option — it is just a job, and not everybody wants that job.

No obligation, no fees, no repairs. We respond fast — usually the same day.
What happens if you do nothing
Damage spreads. Water becomes mold, an open roof becomes structural, and an unsecured house becomes a code and liability problem.
Palm Beach County specifics
- County seat: West Palm Beach
- Clerk of Court: Palm Beach County Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller
- Tax Collector: Palm Beach County Tax Collector
- Florida is a judicial foreclosure state, so a Palm Beach County foreclosure runs through the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit Court in West Palm Beach. The case starts with a lis pendens filed in the public record, and if it goes all the way through, the property is sold at a clerk-run online foreclosure auction. Until that sale happens, you generally still own the property and can still sell it.
- Palm Beach County property taxes become delinquent April 1. Unpaid taxes are auctioned as tax certificates, and a certificate holder can apply for a tax deed after the statutory waiting period — which is how people lose property they still have equity in. Selling before that point usually protects far more of your money than waiting.
- Probate for a Palm Beach County property is handled by the probate division of the circuit court in West Palm Beach. The personal representative generally needs authority from the court before a sale can close, and a title company will confirm what the file shows before closing.
- Code enforcement is handled by the individual city for incorporated areas and by Palm Beach County Code Enforcement for unincorporated areas. Daily fines can accrue and can attach to the property as a lien, so an open case usually gets more expensive the longer it sits.
Your real options — all of them
Selling to us is one option out of several, and it is not always the best one for your situation. Here is the honest comparison so you can decide for yourself.
Rebuild with insurance proceeds
Work the claim, hire contractors, permit and restore.
Upside: Restores full value if the claim covers the scope.
Downside: Months of management, contractor risk, and claim gaps you pay for.
Repair enough to list
Do the minimum needed to be marketable.
Upside: Broader buyer pool.
Downside: Money up front with no guaranteed return; insurers scrutinize repaired damage.
Sell as-is and keep the proceeds question simple
We buy the property in its current condition.
Upside: You stop managing a construction project you did not choose.
Downside: Damage is reflected in the offer.
Questions most people never think to ask
Can I keep the insurance money and still sell?
It depends on your policy and whether the mortgage company is holding proceeds. Ask your adjuster before signing anything with anyone.
Does an open claim slow a sale?
It needs coordination, not avoidance. Tell us early and it gets built into the timeline.
What about mold remediation?
It affects price, not our willingness to buy.

Important disclosure
All Out Rubbish Property Solutions is a local real estate investment company, not a real estate brokerage, and no one on our team is acting as your real estate agent. We buy houses and land directly with cash, or we assign our purchase contract to one of our vetted cash-investor partners. Either way, you pay zero commissions, zero fees, and zero repair or cleanout costs. We never list or advertise a property we do not own or have under a signed purchase contract.
Nothing on this page is legal, tax, or financial advice. Foreclosure, probate, tax and lien processes vary by case — talk to a Florida attorney or CPA about your specific situation. County information referenced here is general public process information (Palm Beach County and Broward County).
