Effective Date: October 8, 2026
Last Updated: October 8, 2026
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of ibuyfiredamagedhomesmorenovalleycalifornia.com (the “Website”) and services offered through the Website by I Buy Houses With Fire Damage Moreno Valley (“we,” “us,” or “our”).
By accessing the Website, submitting property information, requesting a cash offer, or otherwise interacting with our services, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy.
1. Purpose of the Website
The Website allows property owners and authorized representatives to submit information concerning real estate they may wish to sell, including:
- Fire-damaged property;
- Smoke-damaged property;
- Water-damaged property;
- Structurally damaged property;
- Distressed property;
- Vacant property;
- Tenant-occupied property;
- Inherited property;
- Probate or estate property;
- Property facing foreclosure;
- Property subject to liens or judgments;

- Coordinate cleanout where agreed;
- Enter into a purchase agreement;
- Acquire contractual or equitable rights;
- Assign contractual rights where legally and contractually permitted;
- Work with licensed California real estate professionals where legally required; or
- Decline the opportunity.
Nothing displayed on the Website constitutes a binding offer to purchase real estate.
2. Direct Purchase Model
The Website currently represents that we specialize in purchasing fire-damaged Moreno Valley property in as-is condition.
Where we seek to purchase property for our own account:
- Our economic interests may differ from the seller’s;
- We may seek a purchase price accounting for repair costs, cleanup, holding costs, closing costs, risk, and expected investment return;
- We negotiate for ourselves unless another written relationship expressly states otherwise; and
- We do not automatically owe the seller duties associated with a seller’s broker, fiduciary, attorney, appraiser, insurance adviser, or financial adviser.
3. Our Role
Depending on the transaction, we may act as:
- A prospective principal purchaser;
- A real estate investor;
- A property-acquisition business;
- A contract purchaser;
- A holder of contractual or equitable rights;
- An affiliate or co-investor with another purchaser; or
- Another lawful transaction participant.
Unless separately and lawfully established, we do not act as your:
- Real estate broker;
- Seller’s agent;
- Attorney;
- Accountant;
- Tax adviser;
- Financial adviser;
- Insurance adviser;
- Public insurance adjuster;
- Contractor;
- Engineer;
- Appraiser;
- Fiduciary;
- Housing counselor;
- Mortgage broker;
- Mortgage lender;
- Mortgage servicer;
- Loan-modification provider;
- Foreclosure consultant;
- Debt-relief provider; or
- Other professional adviser.
4. No Obligation to Sell
Submitting property information or requesting an offer does not obligate you to sell.
A Website submission is an inquiry, not a purchase agreement.
You may reject a proposed offer unless and until you execute a legally enforceable transaction agreement, subject to applicable statutory cancellation or termination rights.
5. No Obligation to Purchase
Submitting property information does not require us to:
- Inspect the property;
- Make an offer;
- Maintain a previous offer;
- Continue negotiations;
- Purchase the property; or
- Complete a transaction.
6. Eligibility and Authority
By using the Website or submitting property information, you represent that:
- You are at least 18 years old;
- You possess legal capacity to contract;
- Information you provide is materially accurate to the best of your knowledge;
- You own the property or have lawful authority to communicate concerning it; and
- Your use complies with applicable law.
Submission by one co-owner does not necessarily establish authority to bind all owners.
7. Property Research
We may research:
- Ownership;
- Recorded deeds;
- Mortgages and deeds of trust;
- Liens;
- Judgments;
- Taxes;
- Notices of default;
- Notices of trustee sale;
- Property condition;
- Fire and smoke damage;
- Structural condition;
- Roof and foundation;
- Electrical and plumbing systems;
- Heating and cooling;
- Repairs;
- Building permits;
- Fire permits;
- Code-enforcement records;
- Fire Hazard Severity Zones;
- Insurance information voluntarily provided;
- Probate;
- Foreclosure;
- Comparable sales; and
- Other information relevant to evaluating a transaction.
8. Property Assessments
An acquisition evaluation may include:
- Visual inspection;
- Photography;
- Contractor review;
- Structural review;
- Repair estimates;
- Environmental review;
- Permit research;
- Fire-hazard research;
- Code-enforcement research;
- Title review;
- Insurance-document review; and
- Other due diligence.
An evaluation conducted for our acquisition purposes is not automatically an inspection or professional report performed for the seller’s benefit and is not a warranty concerning property condition.
9. Preliminary Offers
Any preliminary:
- Cash offer;
- Estimated offer;
- Property valuation;
- Price range;
- Repair estimate; or
- Similar statement
is non-binding unless included in an enforceable written transaction agreement.
A preliminary offer may change following due diligence.
10. Offer Methodology
Potential offers may consider:
- Existing property condition;
- Fire and smoke damage;
- Structural damage;
- After-repair value;
- Comparable sales;
- Restoration expenses;
- Cleanup costs;
- Permit expenses;
- Holding costs;
- Property taxes;
- Insurance;
- Closing expenses;
- Market conditions;
- Risk; and
- Expected investment return.
No particular valuation method or purchase price is guaranteed.
11. Binding Transactions
A binding transaction arises only when applicable parties execute legally enforceable transaction documents.
Closing may depend on:
- Ownership verification;
- Authority to sell;
- Title;
- Mortgages and deeds of trust;
- Liens;
- Judgments;
- Taxes;
- Seller disclosures;
- Natural-hazard disclosures;
- Fire-hazard disclosures;
- Property access;
- Due diligence;
- Probate;
- Foreclosure status;
- Insurance matters;
- Buyer funding;
- Moreno Valley permit or code requirements;
- Escrow; and
- Other legal or contractual conditions.
12. California Transfer Disclosure Statement
California generally requires a Real Estate Transfer Disclosure Statement (“TDS”) in many transfers of residential real property containing one to four dwelling units, subject to statutory exemptions.
A direct cash sale is not automatically exempt merely because:
- The buyer is an investor;
- The transaction is cash;
- The property is being sold as-is;
- No traditional listing agent participates; or
- The parties intend to close quickly.
13. TDS Timing
For a conventional covered transaction, the seller generally must deliver the completed TDS as soon as practicable before transfer of title.
Different timing rules may apply to specified real-property sales contracts, lease-options, ground leases, manufactured homes, or other transaction types.
14. Late Disclosure and Buyer Termination
If a required TDS or material amendment is delivered after execution of the buyer’s offer, California law generally gives the buyer:
- 3 days after personal delivery;
- 5 days after delivery by mail; or
- 5 days after qualifying electronic delivery
to terminate the offer by written notice.
Nothing in these Terms shortens an applicable statutory termination right.
15. TDS Requirements Cannot Simply Be Waived
Where California’s TDS law applies, a seller and cash buyer should not assume they can eliminate the statutory disclosure regime merely by describing the transaction as:
- As-is;
- Cash;
- Investor purchase;
- Fast close; or
- No-repair.
California places statutory limits on waiver.
16. TDS Exemptions
California provides exemptions for specified transfers, including qualifying:
- Court-ordered transfers;
- Probate-related transfers;
- Foreclosure transfers;
- Transfers to lenders following default;
- Deeds in lieu of foreclosure;
- Bankruptcy transfers;
- Certain fiduciary transfers;
- Co-owner transfers;
- Family transfers;
- Governmental transfers; and
- Other statutorily identified transactions.
An exemption should be verified for the specific transaction.
17. Fire Damage and the TDS
A prior fire can create current conditions relevant to the TDS, including:
- Structural damage;
- Roof damage;
- Foundation damage;
- Electrical problems;
- Plumbing damage;
- Heating and cooling issues;
- Fireplaces and chimneys;
- Smoke and carbon-monoxide detectors;
- Water intrusion;
- Mold;
- Hazardous substances;
- Additions or alterations;
- Permit problems;
- Restoration work; and
- Other conditions affecting value or desirability.
Known material fire-related conditions should not be concealed or misrepresented.
18. Material Facts
California real estate law separately preserves duties concerning facts materially affecting the value or desirability of property.
Fire-related conditions may be material depending on:
- Severity;
- Structural impact;
- Remaining damage;
- Repair quality;
- Permit status;
- Environmental effects;
- Habitability;
- Insurability; and
- Other circumstances.
19. No Universal Fire-Document Package
California does not impose one universal rule requiring every seller automatically to provide every:
- Fire-department report;
- Insurance file;
- Adjuster report;
- Contractor invoice;
- Engineering report;
- Environmental report;
- Photograph;
- Repair estimate;
- Permit; or
- Inspection record
to every buyer.
A particular document may nevertheless be:
- Required by contract;
- Relevant to explaining a known defect;
- Requested during due diligence;
- Required by an insurer;
- Required by a lender;
- Required by Moreno Valley or Riverside County; or
- Required under another law.
20. California Natural Hazard Disclosure
California separately requires a Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement (“NHD”) in qualifying transactions.
The NHD addresses whether property lies within specified hazard areas, including:
- Special flood hazard areas;
- Dam-inundation areas;
- Earthquake fault zones;
- Seismic hazard zones; and
- High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones and other statutorily identified wildfire areas.
The actual parcel should be evaluated using current official information.
21. Moreno Valley Fire Hazard Severity Zones
The City of Moreno Valley publishes current Fire Hazard Severity Zone mapping based on recommendations prepared by CAL FIRE under the direction of the State Fire Marshal.
The 2025 mapping uses classifications including:
- Moderate;
- High; and
- Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones.
A property’s classification should be confirmed on the current map.
22. Fire Hazard Is Not the Same as Fire Damage
A structure that suffered an actual fire and a structure located in a statutory wildfire-hazard zone present different legal issues.
A Moreno Valley property may:
- Have historical structure-fire damage but not be in a High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone;
- Be in a fire-hazard zone without having suffered a structure fire; or
- Have both conditions.
Marketing and transaction documents should distinguish these concepts.
23. Wildfire Disclosure for Certain Pre-2010 Homes
Where property subject to California’s residential disclosure law is located in a High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone and the home was constructed before January 1, 2010, Civil Code section 1102.6f may require an additional wildfire-hardening disclosure.
For transactions on or after July 1, 2025, the disclosure also addresses which listed low-cost retrofit measures, if any, were completed during the seller’s ownership.
The property’s actual hazard designation and construction date control.
24. As-Is Transactions
The Website advertises purchases in the property’s current or “as-is” condition.
“As-is” may mean the purchaser does not require the seller to make repairs before closing.
It does not automatically eliminate:
- TDS obligations;
- Natural Hazard Disclosure obligations;
- Wildfire disclosures;
- Fraud or concealment liability;
- Material-fact disclosure duties;
- Contractual representations;
- Federal disclosure requirements;
- Foreclosure protections;
- Title requirements;
- Government orders; or
- Other non-waivable duties.
25. No Universal Requirement to Repair Before Sale
California does not impose one statewide rule requiring every fire-damaged residence to be completely repaired before it can be sold.
A damaged property may potentially be transferred in its existing condition.
Separate:
- Building-code requirements;
- Unsafe-building orders;
- Fire-code requirements;
- Permit requirements;
- Utility restrictions;
- Demolition requirements;
- Environmental requirements;
- Occupancy restrictions;
- Insurance obligations; and
- Contract provisions
may nevertheless affect the property.
26. Moreno Valley Fire Recovery and Building & Safety
The Moreno Valley Fire Department directs owners recovering from a fire to the City’s Building & Safety Division for assistance with:
- Restoring utilities;
- Determining construction-permit requirements;
- Repairing the damaged building; and
- Other recovery information relevant to the owner and insurer.
The precise permits and inspections required depend on the actual damage and work proposed.
27. Current Moreno Valley Building Codes
Moreno Valley’s Building & Safety Division administers:
- Permit issuance;
- Plan review;
- Inspections;
- Code enforcement; and
- Compliance with state and local building requirements.
The City’s 2025 building codes became effective January 1, 2026 for applicable new submittals.
Fire repair or reconstruction must comply with the code applicable to the project.
28. Moreno Valley Fire Prevention Requirements
The Moreno Valley Fire Prevention Division administers matters including:
- New construction fire review;
- Fire and life-safety inspections;
- Multi-family inspections;
- Defensible-space inspections;
- Hazard abatement; and
- Other fire-safety requirements.
Where fire-damage repair affects regulated fire-protection systems or fire-safety features, additional permits or inspections may be required.
29. Fire Incident Reports
The City directs persons seeking a fire incident report to the applicable CAL FIRE/Riverside County Fire Department records process.
A fire report may be useful in evaluating a loss.
Availability of a fire report does not itself mean that every seller must automatically provide every fire-investigation record to every buyer.
30. Cleanup and Restoration
Any:
- Debris removal;
- Demolition;
- Construction;
- Asbestos work;
- Lead-related work;
- Hazardous-material handling;
- Environmental remediation; or
- Other regulated work
must comply with applicable:
- Contractor licensing requirements;
- Environmental requirements;
- Worker-safety requirements;
- Disposal rules;
- Building permits;
- Fire requirements; and
- Other law.
Nothing on the Website means that we personally perform regulated contractor work unless legally authorized.
31. California Contractor Licensing
California separately regulates contracting activity.
Where repair, demolition, remediation, reconstruction, or restoration requires a licensed contractor, the work must be performed by a properly licensed person or entity unless a lawful exemption applies.
Property ownership alone does not create unlimited authority to perform contracting work.
32. Owner-Builder Rules
California’s owner-builder exemptions are limited.
Among other requirements, different rules apply depending on:
- Whether the owner personally performs the work;
- Whether licensed contractors are directly retained;
- Whether the property is intended for sale;
- How many properties are offered for sale; and
- Whether the property is the owner’s principal residence.
An investor purchasing fire-damaged property for rehabilitation and resale should not automatically assume that every homeowner owner-builder exemption applies.
33. Inspections and Due Diligence
The Website says sellers do not need to repair or clean the property.
That does not prevent a purchaser from performing due diligence permitted by the transaction documents.
Due diligence may include:
- Visual inspection;
- Structural evaluation;
- Contractor estimates;
- Fire-damage assessment;
- Electrical evaluation;
- Environmental review;
- Mold investigation;
- Permit research;
- Code-enforcement research;
- Fire-hazard research;
- Title review;
- Insurance-document review; and
- Other investigation.
34. Fast Offer and Closing Claims
The Website advertises:
- A no-pressure as-is cash offer within approximately 24 hours;
- Closing in approximately 10 days; and
- A FAQ stating closing may occur in as little as approximately 7 days.
These statements describe possible or intended transaction timing and are not guarantees.
Actual timing may depend on:
- Ownership;
- Title;
- Mortgages;
- Liens;
- Seller disclosures;
- Natural-hazard disclosures;
- Foreclosure;
- Probate;
- Insurance;
- Property access;
- Municipal permits or orders;
- Escrow;
- Buyer funding; and
- Other circumstances.
35. “Guaranteed” Quick Sale Language
The Website currently states that choosing the company “guarantees” a quick, transparent sale.
No Website statement guarantees:
- That an offer will be made;
- That a seller will accept an offer;
- That title will be insurable;
- That a particular closing date will occur;
- That a transaction will close;
- That a specific amount of cash will be paid; or
- That a particular financial result will occur.
The executed transaction documents control.
36. Fair Cash Offer Claims
Website descriptions such as:
- Fair cash;
- Fair offer;
- Competitive offer;
- True value;
- Hassle-free offer; or
- Similar language
describe marketing objectives and do not guarantee:
- Appraised fair market value;
- Repaired retail value;
- The highest available offer; or
- A particular valuation methodology.
37. No Agent Commissions or Hidden Fees
Where a seller completes a genuine direct transaction without a listing broker, a conventional listing-agent commission may not apply.
If a California real estate licensee participates, compensation obligations will be governed by applicable:
- Representation agreements;
- Agency disclosures;
- Purchase agreements;
- Escrow instructions; and
- California law.
38. Insurance-Claim Statements on the Website
The Website currently states that the team:
- Handles insurance negotiations;
- Helps homeowners navigate claim filing;
- Advises homeowners on negotiating claims; and
- Helps maximize insurance settlements.
Those statements involve a separately regulated subject under California insurance law.
39. California Public Insurance Adjuster Licensing
California defines a public insurance adjuster generally as a person who, for compensation, acts on behalf of or aids an insured in negotiating for or effecting settlement of a property-insurance claim, or holds themselves out to the public as performing that function.
Public adjusters are subject to:
- Licensing;
- Bonding;
- Contract;
- Disclosure; and
- Other regulatory requirements.
40. No Unlicensed Insurance Adjustment
Unless acting through an appropriately licensed public insurance adjuster or attorney under a separate legally compliant arrangement, we do not undertake to:
- Represent you against your insurance company;
- Adjust your insurance loss;
- Negotiate your claim on your behalf;
- Settle your insurance claim;
- Demand insurance proceeds for you;
- Guarantee an insurance payment; or
- Maximize a settlement as your compensated insurance representative.
41. Administrative Insurance Information
Nothing prevents ordinary transaction communications concerning factual matters such as:
- Whether a claim exists;
- Whether proceeds have been received;
- The condition of the property;
- Repairs already performed;
- Mortgagee interests;
- Pending transaction deadlines; or
- Rights to insurance proceeds addressed in the purchase agreement.
That is different from regulated representation of the insured in negotiating or settling a claim.
42. Insurance Claims and Proceeds
A fire-damaged property may involve an open or completed insurance claim.
We do not act as your insurance company, insurance producer, public adjuster, or insurance attorney unless a separate legally compliant relationship expressly establishes otherwise.
Property owners are responsible for understanding:
- Coverage;
- Proof-of-loss requirements;
- Claim deadlines;
- Insurance proceeds;
- Repair obligations;
- Mortgage-holder rights;
- Recoverable depreciation;
- Additional living expenses;
- Assignment restrictions;
- Salvage rights; and
- Policy conditions.
43. Pending Insurance Claims
If property is sold while a claim remains pending, the purchase agreement should address rights concerning:
- Existing proceeds;
- Supplemental proceeds;
- Recoverable depreciation;
- Future payments;
- Repair obligations;
- Additional claims;
- Salvage; and
- Related insurance benefits.
44. Insurance Rights Do Not Automatically Transfer
A property sale does not automatically transfer:
- The seller’s insurance policy;
- A pending insurance claim;
- Claim proceeds;
- Recoverable depreciation; or
- Other policy rights.
Those issues depend on:
- Policy language;
- Insurance law;
- Timing of the loss;
- Mortgage-holder rights;
- Insurer requirements; and
- The transaction documents.
45. California Real Estate Licensing
California generally requires a real estate broker license where a person, for compensation or in expectation of compensation, acts for another to:
- Sell or offer to sell real property;
- Buy or offer to buy real property;
- Solicit prospective sellers or buyers;
- Obtain listings; or
- Negotiate the purchase, sale, or exchange of real property.
The actual relationship and conduct control.
46. Principal Purchaser Versus Broker
A genuine principal purchaser buying property for its own account is differently situated from a person performing brokerage services for another for compensation.
Nothing in these Terms authorizes someone to avoid licensing requirements merely by calling themselves:
- An investor;
- Cash buyer;
- Acquisition specialist;
- Wholesaler;
- Consultant; or
- Contract buyer.
47. California Wholesaling
As of October 8, 2026, California has not enacted the proposed wholesaling-specific licensing regime contained in Assembly Bill 1850.
AB 1850 remains in the Assembly Appropriations process after being held under submission on May 14, 2026.
Its proposed requirements should therefore not be represented as current law.
48. Existing Brokerage Law Still Applies
The absence of an enacted wholesaler-specific statute does not mean every wholesaling transaction is automatically lawful without a license.
Relevant considerations include:
- Whether the person is genuinely contracting as principal;
- Whether a contractual interest actually exists;
- Whether the agreement permits assignment;
- What is being marketed;
- Whether another person’s property is being advertised;
- Whether ownership is falsely represented;
- Whether negotiations occur for another;
- Whether sellers or buyers are solicited for another; and
- Whether compensation is received for brokerage-type services.
49. Contractual Interest Is Not Legal Title
Holding a:
- Purchase agreement;
- Option;
- Assignment right; or
- Equitable interest
is different from holding legal title.
A contract holder should not falsely represent that:
- It is the record owner;
- It owns legal title;
- Title has already transferred;
- It is conveying title when only contractual rights are being assigned; or
- It possesses rights beyond those granted by the contract.
50. Assignment Depends on the Contract
Whether a California purchase agreement may be assigned depends on:
- Contract language;
- Anti-assignment provisions;
- Required consents;
- California contract law;
- Real estate licensing law;
- Foreclosure protections; and
- Other applicable requirements.
Nothing on the Website guarantees that a particular agreement may be assigned.
51. Homes Already in Foreclosure
California provides strong protections where an investor purchases a qualifying owner-occupied residence after a notice of default has been recorded.
Such transactions can fall within California’s Home Equity Sales Contract Act.
52. Residence in Foreclosure
A covered residence in foreclosure generally involves:
- Residential real property containing one to four dwelling units;
- Occupancy by the owner as the owner’s principal residence; and
- A recorded notice of default.
A covered investor purchaser can become an “equity purchaser.”
53. Home Equity Sales Contract Requirements
A covered home-equity purchase agreement is subject to detailed statutory requirements.
Among other requirements, the agreement generally must:
- Be written;
- Meet required formatting standards;
- Be in the language principally used to negotiate the transaction;
- Be fully completed;
- Be signed and dated;
- Contain specified transaction information; and
- Include required cancellation notices and forms.
54. Five-Business-Day Cancellation Right
A covered equity seller generally may cancel until the earlier of:
- Midnight of the fifth business day after signing a compliant agreement; or
- 8:00 a.m. on the scheduled foreclosure-sale date.
Nothing in these Website Terms limits that right.
55. Restrictions During the Cancellation Period
During the applicable cancellation period, a covered equity purchaser generally may not take prohibited premature actions concerning:
- Conveyance documents;
- Recording;
- Transfer;
- Encumbrance; or
- Payment of consideration.
The statutory procedures control.
56. No Misleading Statements to an Equity Seller
A covered equity purchaser may not make false or misleading representations concerning matters including:
- Property value;
- Sale proceeds;
- Contract terms;
- Cancellation rights;
- Legal consequences; or
- Documents being signed.
57. California Foreclosure Consultants
California separately regulates mortgage foreclosure consultants.
A person may become a covered foreclosure consultant when, for compensation, the person represents that services will:
- Stop or postpone foreclosure;
- Obtain forbearance;
- Obtain reinstatement;
- Obtain waiver of acceleration;
- Obtain financing;
- Reduce foreclosure-related credit harm;
- Save the residence; or
- Provide another covered foreclosure service.
A direct purchaser should not simultaneously portray itself as the homeowner’s paid foreclosure consultant unless the relationship separately complies with applicable law.
58. Foreclosure-Consultant Cancellation Rights
Covered foreclosure-consultant contracts are subject to detailed written-contract and cancellation requirements.
A covered homeowner generally receives a five-business-day cancellation period under California law.
59. No Advance Compensation for Covered Foreclosure Consulting
California restricts advance compensation in covered foreclosure-consultant relationships.
A covered consultant generally may not collect compensation before legally required performance.
60. Foreclosure Consultant Acquisition Restrictions
A covered foreclosure consultant generally may not acquire an interest in the residence in foreclosure from the homeowner with whom the consultant contracted.
A principal property purchaser should therefore keep the acquisition role clearly separate from compensated foreclosure-relief consulting.
61. Requesting a Cash Offer Does Not Stop Foreclosure
Submitting a Website inquiry, receiving an offer, or negotiating a purchase does not automatically:
- Stop a trustee sale;
- Cancel a notice of default;
- Extend a foreclosure deadline;
- Reinstate a mortgage;
- Cure default;
- Modify a loan;
- Create forbearance; or
- Require a lender or servicer to delay enforcement.
62. No Foreclosure-Rescue Guarantees
Unless separately authorized and legally qualified, we do not represent that:
- We act for your lender;
- We act for your mortgage servicer;
- We act for California or the federal government;
- We guarantee foreclosure will stop;
- We guarantee a loan modification;
- We will negotiate your mortgage as your adviser;
- You should stop communicating with your lender;
- You should stop making legally required payments; or
- Selling to us is your only option.
63. Multilingual Contract Requirements
California provides special protections where specified consumer transactions are negotiated primarily in certain languages.
Where Civil Code section 1632 applies and negotiations are conducted primarily in:
- Spanish;
- Chinese;
- Tagalog;
- Vietnamese; or
- Korean,
a translation of the contract or agreement may be required before execution.
The Website’s language-translation functionality does not eliminate those requirements.
64. Probate, Estate, Trust, and Inherited Property
Submitting inherited, probate, estate, or trust property does not establish legal authority to sell.
A transaction may require:
- Executor authority;
- Administrator authority;
- Personal-representative authority;
- Trustee authority;
- Probate-court documentation;
- Participation of heirs or beneficiaries;
- Appropriate deeds; or
- Other evidence of authority.
65. Recent Investor Resale After Repairs
California imposes additional disclosure duties in specified sales of single-family residential property where the seller accepts an offer within 18 months after acquiring title.
Where qualifying contractor work was performed during that period, the seller may need to disclose:
- Room additions;
- Structural modifications;
- Alterations;
- Repairs;
- Contractor identities and contact information; and
- Copies of qualifying permits or information for obtaining them.
This rule can be especially important if an investor buys a fire-damaged house, repairs it, and resells it quickly.
66. Federal Lead-Based Paint Disclosure
Federal lead-based-paint disclosure requirements may apply to qualifying residential housing constructed before 1978.
Nothing on the Website replaces those requirements.
67. Common Interest Developments
Where a property lies within a condominium, planned development, or other qualifying common-interest development, separate California disclosure requirements may apply concerning:
- Governing documents;
- Assessments;
- Budgets;
- Reserves;
- Insurance;
- Rules;
- Pending proceedings; and
- Other association matters.
68. Telephone Communications
By providing a telephone number and requesting an offer, you authorize reasonable responsive communications concerning:
- Your property;
- Property research;
- Scheduling;
- Inspections;
- Offers;
- Follow-up; and
- Potential transactions.
Additional consent will be obtained where legally required before regulated automated, prerecorded, artificial-voice, or marketing communications are made.
69. California Recording Law
California generally prohibits intentionally recording a confidential communication without the consent of all parties, subject to statutory exceptions.
Confidential acquisition calls should therefore not be silently recorded merely because one participant consents.
Where a communication is recorded, legally sufficient notice and consent should be obtained.
70. Text Messages
If you provide a mobile telephone number and applicable consent, we may communicate by text concerning:
- Your inquiry;
- Your property;
- Scheduling;
- Inspections;
- Offers;
- Follow-up; and
- Potential transactions.
Where required, additional consent will be obtained before regulated automated or marketing messages are sent.
Consent to marketing is not a condition of receiving an offer or selling property where prohibited.
Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency may vary.
Reply STOP to request that applicable messages stop.
71. Email Communications
By providing an email address, you authorize communications concerning:
- Your property;
- Potential offers;
- Inspections;
- Due diligence;
- Scheduling;
- Follow-up;
- Services; and
- Potential transactions.
Applicable promotional emails will include an unsubscribe mechanism.
72. Electronic Communications
Where permitted by law, you consent to receiving Website and transaction communications electronically.
This does not eliminate documents that applicable law requires to be delivered in a particular form, language, or manner.
73. Privacy
Our collection and processing of personal information are described in our Privacy Policy.
74. Independent Decision-Making
Selling fire-damaged property can have significant:
- Legal;
- Tax;
- Financial;
- Insurance;
- Construction;
- Environmental; and
- Personal consequences.
You may wish to consult:
- A California attorney;
- A licensed California real estate professional;
- A tax professional;
- An accountant;
- A California-licensed public adjuster for insurance-claim representation;
- An insurance attorney;
- A licensed contractor;
- An engineer;
- An environmental professional;
- An appraiser;
- A HUD-approved housing counselor; or
- Another qualified adviser.
75. No Professional Advice
Website content does not constitute individualized:
- Legal advice;
- Tax advice;
- Accounting advice;
- Financial advice;
- Insurance advice;
- Public-adjusting services;
- Construction advice;
- Engineering advice;
- Environmental advice;
- Appraisal advice;
- Mortgage advice; or
- Foreclosure advice.
76. No Automatic Agency or Fiduciary Relationship
Use of the Website does not itself create:
- Seller agency;
- Buyer agency;
- A brokerage relationship;
- An insurance-adjuster relationship;
- A fiduciary relationship;
- Partnership;
- Joint venture; or
- Employment.
If a licensed professional participates, applicable professional agreements and duties control.
77. Acceptable Use
You may not:
- Use the Website unlawfully;
- Submit fraudulent property leads;
- Knowingly provide materially false information;
- Impersonate another person;
- Submit property information without authority;
- Attempt unauthorized system access;
- Introduce malicious code;
