Effective Date: October 8, 2026
Last Updated: October 8, 2026
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of ibuyfiredamagedhomesscottsdalearizona.com (the “Website”) and services offered through the Website by Scottsdale I Buy Houses With Fire Damage (“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;
- Property requiring cleanup;
- Property requiring substantial repairs; and
- Other residential or investment property.
Depending on the property and transaction, we may:
- Evaluate the property;
- Purchase or seek to purchase it directly;
- Make or facilitate a potential cash offer;
- Conduct or arrange due diligence;
- Coordinate cleanout where agreed;
- Enter into a purchase agreement;
- Acquire contractual or equitable rights;
- Assign contractual rights where legally and contractually permitted;
- Participate in a transaction regulated as Arizona residential wholesaling where applicable;
- Work with licensed Arizona real estate professionals where legally required; or
- Decline the opportunity.
Nothing displayed on the Website constitutes a binding offer to purchase real estate.
2. Our Role
The Website presently markets our business principally as a direct cash purchaser of fire-damaged property in Scottsdale.
Depending on the transaction, we may act as:
- A prospective principal purchaser;
- A real estate investor;
- A property-acquisition business;
- A contract purchaser;
- A wholesale buyer where Arizona law defines us as one;
- A holder of contractual or equitable rights;
- An affiliate or co-investor with another purchaser; or
- Another lawful transaction participant.
Our actual role depends on the transaction documents and actual conduct.
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 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.
3. Direct Purchase Model
Where we seek to acquire property for our own account:
- Our economic interests may differ from the seller’s interests;
- We may seek a purchase price accounting for repair costs, cleanup, holding expenses, transaction costs, risk, and investment return;
- We negotiate for ourselves unless another written relationship expressly states otherwise; and
- We do not automatically owe the seller the duties of the seller’s broker, attorney, appraiser, fiduciary, insurance adviser, or financial 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 and is not a purchase agreement.
You may reject a proposed offer unless and until you enter into a legally enforceable transaction agreement, subject to applicable cancellation or rescission rights.
5. No Obligation to Purchase
Submitting 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 authorize that person to bind every owner.
7. Agents, Wholesalers, Contract Holders, and Representatives
If an agent, wholesaler, contract holder, attorney-in-fact, trustee, personal representative, or other representative submits information concerning property, that person is responsible for having lawful authority to do so.
Nothing on the Website authorizes:
- Unlicensed brokerage;
- Unauthorized solicitation;
- Misrepresentation of ownership;
- Unauthorized marketing of another person’s property;
- Unauthorized disclosure of property-owner information; or
- Violation of an existing purchase agreement.
8. Property Research
We may research:
- Ownership;
- Recorded deeds;
- Mortgages and deeds of trust;
- Liens;
- Judgments;
- Property taxes;
- Foreclosure status;
- Property condition;
- Fire and smoke damage;
- Structural condition;
- Roof and foundation;
- Electrical and plumbing systems;
- Heating and cooling;
- Fire-protection systems;
- Repairs;
- Building permits;
- Electrical permits;
- Plumbing permits;
- Mechanical permits;
- Fire-related permits;
- Code-enforcement records;
- Certificates of occupancy;
- Insurance claims;
- Tenant status;
- Probate;
- Comparable sales; and
- Other information relevant to evaluating a potential transaction.
9. Property Assessments
An acquisition evaluation may include:
- Visual inspection;
- Photography;
- Contractor review;
- Structural review;
- Repair estimates;
- Environmental review;
- Permit research;
- Code-enforcement research;
- Title review;
- Insurance review;
- Tenant review; and
- Other due diligence.
An evaluation performed 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.
10. Preliminary Offers
Any preliminary:
- Cash offer;
- Estimated offer;
- Property valuation;
- Price range;
- Repair estimate; or
- Similar statement
is non-binding unless included in a legally enforceable written transaction agreement.
A preliminary offer may change after due diligence.
11. Offer Methodology
Potential offers may consider:
- Current property condition;
- Fire and smoke damage;
- Structural damage;
- After-repair value;
- Comparable sales;
- Restoration expenses;
- Cleanup expenses;
- Permit costs;
- Holding expenses;
- Taxes;
- Insurance;
- Closing expenses;
- Market conditions;
- Risk; and
- Expected investment return.
No particular valuation method, purchase price, or financial outcome is guaranteed.
12. Binding Transactions
A binding real estate transaction arises only when the 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;
- Wholesaling disclosures;
- Property access;
- Due diligence;
- Probate;
- Foreclosure status;
- Insurance;
- Buyer funding;
- Scottsdale permits or code requirements;
- Escrow; and
- Other contractual or legal conditions.
13. Arizona Seller Disclosure Framework
Arizona does not impose one universal statutory seller-property-condition questionnaire that every private seller must use in every residential resale.
However, Arizona sellers have legal duties concerning material facts.
Arizona courts recognize that where a seller knows facts that materially affect the value of property and knows those facts are not known to the buyer, the seller can have a duty to disclose those facts.
That legal duty exists independently from whether a particular preprinted disclosure form is statutorily mandatory.
14. Arizona REALTORS® Residential Seller’s Property Disclosure Statement
The Residential Seller’s Property Disclosure Statement (“SPDS”) published by Arizona REALTORS® is widely used in Arizona transactions.
The SPDS itself is not a universally required statutory form.
Where the parties use the standard Arizona REALTORS® Residential Resale Real Estate Purchase Contract, however, the contract generally requires the seller to complete and deliver the SPDS within the contractual deadline, commonly five days after contract acceptance.
The actual purchase agreement controls the applicable contractual deadline.
15. Fire Damage Is Expressly Addressed by the Arizona SPDS
The current Arizona REALTORS® SPDS expressly asks whether the seller is aware of damage to a structure on the property caused by conditions including:
- Flood;
- Fire;
- Wind;
- Expansive soils;
- Water;
- Hail; or
- Other causes.
The form also addresses homeowner insurance claims, smoke/fire-detection systems, fire-suppression systems, structural conditions, repairs, permits, and other matters that can be important following a fire.
16. Insurance Claims
The Arizona SPDS asks whether the seller knows of homeowner insurance claims filed against the property.
A fire-damaged property may therefore require disclosure concerning both:
- Physical property conditions; and
- Relevant insurance-claim history,
depending on the seller’s knowledge and the transaction documents.
17. Known Material Facts
A seller should not conceal or misrepresent a known fact that materially affects:
- Property value;
- Desirability;
- Safety;
- Use;
- Insurability; or
- A buyer’s decision-making
when Arizona law requires disclosure.
Material fire-related facts can include:
- Structural damage;
- Electrical damage;
- Roof damage;
- Foundation damage;
- Smoke contamination;
- Firefighting-water intrusion;
- Mold;
- Incomplete restoration;
- Unpermitted work;
- Unsafe conditions; or
- Significant unresolved governmental requirements.
18. Licensed Real Estate Professional Duties
Arizona imposes additional duties on participating real estate licensees.
A licensee must disclose in writing to other parties information the licensee possesses that materially or adversely affects the consideration to be paid, including:
- Known material facts;
- Known material defects;
- Known latent defects;
- A party’s inability or possible inability to perform; and
- Liens or encumbrances.
Known significant fire damage can therefore trigger licensee duties independent from the seller’s own disclosure obligations.
19. No Universal Requirement to Deliver Every Fire Record
Arizona does not impose one universal rule requiring every residential seller automatically to give every buyer every:
- Fire-department report;
- Insurance claim file;
- Adjuster report;
- Contractor invoice;
- Engineering report;
- Photograph;
- Repair estimate;
- Building permit;
- Remediation report; or
- Inspection report.
A particular document may nevertheless be:
- Relevant to explaining a disclosed defect;
- Required by the purchase contract;
- Requested during due diligence;
- Required by an insurer;
- Required by a lender;
- Required by Scottsdale;
- Required by escrow or title professionals; or
- Required under another applicable law.
20. No Universal Seller Inspection Requirement
Arizona does not generally require every seller of a fire-damaged home to commission:
- A structural inspection;
- An electrical inspection;
- An environmental inspection;
- A fire investigation;
- A mold inspection; or
- An engineering report
solely because the seller wishes to transfer the property.
Inspections can nevertheless be prudent or required by:
- Contract;
- Governmental orders;
- Permits;
- Insurance;
- Lending requirements; or
- Property-specific conditions.
21. As-Is Transactions
The Website advertises an as-is acquisition model.
“As-is” may mean that the buyer does not require the seller to perform repairs before closing.
It does not automatically eliminate:
- Fraud liability;
- Misrepresentation liability;
- Duties concerning known material facts;
- Contractual disclosures;
- Wholesaler disclosures;
- Licensee disclosure duties;
- Federal disclosure requirements;
- Title obligations;
- Foreclosure-consultant protections;
- Governmental requirements; or
- Other rights that cannot lawfully be waived.
22. No Universal Repair Requirement Before Sale
Arizona does not impose one statewide rule requiring every fire-damaged residence to be completely restored before it may be transferred.
A damaged property may potentially be sold in its existing condition.
Separate:
- Building codes;
- Unsafe-building requirements;
- Building permits;
- Electrical requirements;
- Plumbing requirements;
- Mechanical requirements;
- Fire-code requirements;
- Utility restrictions;
- Environmental requirements;
- Occupancy requirements;
- Insurance obligations; and
- Contract provisions
may nevertheless affect the property.
23. Scottsdale Building Permits
The City of Scottsdale requires permits for many forms of construction and repair.
Current City guidance identifies permitting for work involving structural, fire-safety, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems.
Fire restoration involving those systems should therefore be reviewed through the applicable City permit process.
24. Scottsdale SPUR
Beginning in January 2026, Scottsdale transitioned planning and permitting work to the Scottsdale SPUR portal.
Projects initiated after the transition generally use SPUR for applications, documents, payments, and project management.
A potential buyer may also use public City resources to research permits, plan-review status, certificates of occupancy, and other property records.
25. Electrical, Plumbing, and Mechanical Repairs
Scottsdale specifically requires permits for covered electrical work, and separate permit requirements apply to other regulated trades.
A prior fire can affect:
- Electrical wiring;
- Service panels;
- Plumbing;
- HVAC systems;
- Gas systems; and
- Other building components.
A property sale does not authorize regulated repair work without required permits.
26. Fire Department Review and Inspections
Scottsdale Fire provides inspection and plan-review services for residential and commercial construction and renovation.
Depending on the property and work, fire-safety systems or fire-related renovations may therefore require Fire Department involvement.
27. Scottsdale’s Post-Fire Guidance
Scottsdale publishes an After the Fire recovery program for property owners affected by structure fires and other disasters.
The City advises owners that fire recovery and reconstruction can be a lengthy process and provides information concerning building permits, utilities, insurance, safety, and other recovery resources.
That guidance is useful to affected owners but does not require a homeowner to reconstruct the property before selling it.
28. Cleanup and Restoration
The Website states that cleanup may be handled as part of its acquisition process.
Any:
- Debris removal;
- Demolition;
- Construction;
- Asbestos work;
- Lead-related work;
- Hazardous-material handling;
- Environmental remediation; or
- Other regulated service
must comply with applicable licensing, environmental, worker-safety, disposal, permitting, and other requirements.
Nothing in these Terms represents that we personally perform regulated contractor services unless lawfully authorized.
29. Inspections and Due Diligence
A direct cash or as-is transaction does not prevent the purchaser from conducting due diligence.
Due diligence may include:
- Visual inspection;
- Structural evaluation;
- Contractor estimates;
- Fire-damage assessment;
- Electrical evaluation;
- Environmental review;
- Mold review;
- Permit research;
- Code-enforcement research;
- Title review;
- Insurance review; and
- Other investigation.
30. Twenty-Four-Hour Offer Claims
The Website currently advertises a no-pressure as-is cash offer in approximately 24 hours.
This describes intended or possible service timing and is not a guarantee.
A preliminary offer may depend on obtaining sufficient property information and may change following due diligence.
31. Ten-Day Closing Claims
The Website currently states that it can close in approximately 10 days.
That is potential transaction timing, not a guarantee.
Actual closing may depend on:
- Ownership;
- Title;
- Mortgages;
- Liens;
- Judgments;
- Seller disclosures;
- Wholesaler disclosures;
- Escrow;
- Probate;
- Foreclosure status;
- Insurance;
- Property access;
- City requirements;
- Buyer funding; and
- Other circumstances.
32. No Repair Claims
The Website states that sellers may sell without making repairs.
That means a purchaser may be willing to accept physical condition without requiring seller-funded restoration.
It does not mean:
- The condition is legally irrelevant;
- Known material facts may be concealed;
- Government orders disappear;
- Existing permits or violations are cancelled; or
- The buyer may later perform regulated work without required authorization.
33. No Agent Fee Claims
The Website advertises avoiding traditional agent fees.
Where a seller enters a genuine direct sale without a listing broker, a conventional listing commission may not apply.
If a licensed Arizona real estate professional participates, compensation obligations will be governed by applicable:
- Employment or brokerage agreements;
- Agency disclosures;
- Purchase agreements;
- Escrow instructions; and
- Arizona law.
34. “Fair,” “Competitive,” and Market-Value Claims
The Website describes offers as fair or competitive and refers to market values.
Those terms do not guarantee that:
- An offer equals appraised fair market value;
- An offer equals repaired retail value;
- No competing purchaser would pay more;
- A seller could not obtain more by listing the property; or
- A specific valuation formula will be used.
The executed purchase agreement controls the actual purchase price.
35. Arizona Residential Wholesaling Law
Arizona specifically regulates certain wholesale buyers and wholesale sellers under A.R.S. § 44-5101.
The statute applies to residential real property containing fewer than five dwelling units.
36. Wholesale Buyer Definition
For purposes of the Arizona statute, a wholesale buyer generally means a person or entity that:
- Enters into a purchase contract for residential real property as the buyer; and
- Assigns that same contract to another person or entity.
A purchaser that closes and takes title for its own account is not automatically a wholesale buyer merely because it is an investor.
The actual transaction controls.
37. Wholesale Buyer Disclosure to Seller
Before the parties enter into a binding agreement, an Arizona wholesale buyer must disclose in writing to the seller that the buyer is a wholesale buyer.
The disclosure should therefore occur before the seller becomes bound.
38. Seller Cancellation Right if Wholesale Buyer Fails to Disclose
If a wholesale buyer violates Arizona’s statutory disclosure requirement, the seller may generally:
- Cancel the contract at any time before close of escrow;
- Do so without penalty; and
- Retain earnest money paid by the wholesale buyer.
Nothing in a purchase contract should purport to eliminate that statutory right.
39. Wholesale Seller Disclosure
Arizona also regulates a wholesale seller.
Before the parties enter into a binding agreement, a wholesale seller must disclose in writing to the buyer that:
- The seller is a wholesale seller;
- The seller holds an equitable interest in the property; and
- The wholesale seller may not be able to convey title to the property.
40. Buyer Cancellation Right if Wholesale Seller Fails to Disclose
If a wholesale seller violates the disclosure requirement, the buyer may generally:
- Cancel before close of escrow;
- Cancel without penalty; and
- Receive a refund of earnest money paid.
41. Contractual Interest Is Not Legal Title
Holding a:
- Purchase agreement;
- Option;
- Assignment right; or
- Equitable interest
is different from holding record title.
A contract holder should not falsely represent that:
- It is the deed owner;
- It holds legal title;
- Title has already transferred;
- It is conveying the underlying property when it is only assigning contractual rights; or
- Its contractual rights are greater than those actually provided by the agreement.
42. Assignment Depends on the Contract
Whether a purchase agreement may be assigned depends on:
- Contract language;
- Anti-assignment provisions;
- Required consent;
- Arizona contract law;
- Arizona’s wholesaler-disclosure statute;
- Real estate licensing rules;
- Foreclosure-related restrictions; and
- Other applicable law.
Nothing on the Website guarantees that a particular purchase agreement may be assigned.
43. Arizona Real Estate Licensing
Arizona defines a real estate broker principally as a person who performs specified activities for another and for compensation.
Those activities include matters such as:
- Selling or purchasing real estate;
- Offering to sell or purchase;
- Negotiating transactions;
- Listing property;
- Dealing in real-estate options;
- Advertising covered services;
- Procuring prospects;
- Assisting or directing negotiations; and
- Certain related transaction services.
A person performing covered brokerage services for another may require an Arizona real estate license.
44. Principal Purchaser and Own-Property Exemption
Arizona provides an exemption for qualifying natural persons and entities dealing with their own property, subject to the conditions stated in the statute.
A genuine principal purchaser acquiring property for its own account can therefore be situated differently from a person performing compensated brokerage services for another.
The exemption should not be used to disguise actual brokerage activity.
45. Lead Routing and Referral Compensation
If a business is compensated merely for connecting a seller with another buyer, negotiating for another person, procuring prospects, advising another party, or otherwise performing conduct included in Arizona’s broker definition, licensing and compensation rules should be separately reviewed.
The label “investor,” “wholesaler,” or “cash buyer” does not control if actual conduct is brokerage.
46. Licensed Person Acting as Principal
Where an Arizona real estate licensee participates as a principal or has another financial interest in a transaction, Arizona professional-conduct rules can require disclosure of the relevant interest or conflict.
Actual current Arizona Department of Real Estate forms and procedures should be used where applicable.
47. Foreclosure and Financial Distress
The Website may attract homeowners who are:
- Behind on mortgage payments;
- In loan default;
- Facing a trustee sale;
- Facing foreclosure;
- Experiencing financial hardship; or
- Seeking a rapid sale.
We are not your:
- Mortgage lender;
- Mortgage servicer;
- Attorney;
- Financial adviser;
- Housing counselor;
- Mortgage broker;
- Loan-modification provider;
- Foreclosure consultant;
- Debt-settlement provider; or
- Fiduciary
unless a separate legally compliant relationship expressly establishes otherwise.
48. Arizona Foreclosure Consultants
Arizona specifically regulates foreclosure consultants.
A person can become a foreclosure consultant when, for compensation, the person represents that covered services will accomplish matters such as:
- Preventing or postponing foreclosure;
- Obtaining forbearance;
- Assisting with reinstatement;
- Extending a reinstatement period;
- Obtaining waiver of acceleration;
- Obtaining a loan or advance;
- Reducing foreclosure-related credit damage; or
- Providing other services covered by Arizona law.
A direct purchaser should avoid portraying itself as the homeowner’s compensated foreclosure adviser unless the arrangement is separately compliant.
49. Twenty-Four-Hour Contract Review
A covered Arizona foreclosure-consulting contract generally must:
- Be in writing;
- Be provided to the homeowner for review at least 24 hours before signing;
- Use at least 12-point type;
- Describe the services and compensation;
- Identify the consultant; and
- Satisfy additional statutory requirements.
50. Three-Business-Day Cancellation Right
A homeowner generally has the right to cancel a covered foreclosure-consulting contract until midnight of the third business day after signing a compliant contract.
The cancellation right may not be improperly conditioned on repayment of money.
51. No Advance Compensation for Foreclosure Consultant Services
A covered foreclosure consultant generally may not demand, charge, collect, or receive compensation until the consultant has fully performed each covered service promised under the agreement.
52. Foreclosure Consultant Cannot Acquire the Client’s Residence
Arizona generally prohibits a foreclosure consultant from directly or indirectly acquiring an interest in the residence in foreclosure of a homeowner with whom the consultant has contracted to perform covered services.
A cash purchaser should therefore maintain a clear operational distinction between:
- Buying property for its own account; and
- Acting as the homeowner’s compensated foreclosure consultant.
53. Short-Sale and Other Statutory Exceptions
Arizona’s foreclosure-consultant statute contains specified exceptions, including for certain licensed professionals and particular short-sale purchase activity.
An exception should be confirmed from the actual facts rather than assumed.
54. Requesting an Offer Does Not Stop Foreclosure
Submitting a Website inquiry, receiving a potential offer, or negotiating a transaction does not automatically:
- Stop a trustee sale;
- Cancel a foreclosure;
- Extend a foreclosure deadline;
- Cure a default;
- Reinstate a loan;
- Modify a mortgage;
- Create a forbearance; or
- Require a lender or servicer to delay enforcement.
Homeowners facing foreclosure should independently determine applicable deadlines.
55. 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 Arizona 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 contacting your lender;
- You should stop making legally required payments; or
- Selling to us is your only available option.
56. Federal Mortgage-Assistance Rules
Where separate activity constitutes mortgage-assistance-relief services under federal law, additional federal requirements may regulate:
- Advance fees;
- Advertising;
- Required consumer notices;
- Communications with lenders and servicers; and
- Consumer acceptance procedures.
57. Probate, Estate, Trust, and Inherited Property
Submitting inherited, probate, estate, or trust property does not establish legal authority to sell.
A transaction may require:
- Personal-representative authority;
- Executor or administrator authority;
- Trustee authority;
- Court documentation;
- Participation of heirs or beneficiaries;
- Appropriate deeds; or
- Other evidence of authority.
58. Insurance Claims and Fire-Damage 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;
- Insurance attorney; or
- Insurance adviser
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.
59. Pending Insurance Claims
If property is sold while an insurance claim remains pending, transaction documents should address the parties’ respective rights concerning:
- Existing proceeds;
- Supplemental proceeds;
- Recoverable depreciation;
- Future payments;
- Additional claims;
- Repairs;
- Salvage; and
- Related insurance benefits.
60. Insurance Rights Do Not Automatically Transfer
Selling fire-damaged property does not automatically transfer:
- The seller’s insurance policy;
- A pending insurance claim;
- Insurance proceeds;
- Recoverable depreciation; or
- Other contractual policy rights.
Those matters depend on:
- Policy language;
- Applicable law;
- Timing of the loss;
- Mortgage-holder rights;
- Insurer requirements; and
- The transaction agreement.
61. Public Adjusting
Nothing on the Website constitutes public-adjusting services.
A property owner seeking representation in negotiating an insurance claim should work with an appropriately licensed professional or attorney where required.
62. Tenant-Occupied Property
The sale of tenant-occupied real estate does not automatically terminate a lawful tenancy.
A potential purchaser should evaluate:
- Existing leases;
- Month-to-month tenancy;
- Security deposits;
- Fire displacement;
- Habitability;
- Required notices;
- Possession rights; and
- Applicable Arizona landlord-tenant law.
A property appearing vacant following a fire should not automatically be treated as legally free of tenancy rights.
63. Federal Lead-Based Paint Disclosure
Federal lead-based-paint disclosure requirements may apply to qualifying residential housing built before 1978.
Nothing on this Website replaces applicable federal requirements.
64. Homeowners Associations
Property located within an Arizona homeowners association, condominium, or planned community may have separate:
- Association-document;
- Assessment;
- Transfer;
- Insurance;
- Lien;
- Disclosure; and
- Resale-document
requirements.
Those obligations are separate from fire-damage disclosure.
65. 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.
66. Arizona Recording Law
Arizona generally permits recording of a wire, electronic, oral, or in-person communication when:
- The recorder is a party; or
- One party has consented,
subject to applicable law.
Because calls can cross state lines and another jurisdiction may require all-party consent, additional notice or consent may be appropriate.
Where another applicable law is stricter, the stricter rule controls.
67. 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 by law.
Message and data rates may apply.
Message frequency may vary.
Reply STOP to request that applicable messages stop.
68. 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 provide an unsubscribe mechanism.
69. Electronic Communications
Where permitted by law, you consent to receiving Website and transaction communications electronically.
This consent does not eliminate documents that applicable law requires to be provided in a particular form.
70. Privacy
Our handling of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy.
71. Independent Decision-Making
Selling fire-damaged real estate can have significant:
- Legal;
- Tax;
- Financial;
- Insurance;
- Construction;
- Environmental; and
- Personal consequences.
You may wish to consult:

- A licensed Arizona real estate professional;

73. No Automatic Agency or Fiduciary Relationship
Use of the Website does not itself create:
- Seller agency;
- Buyer agency;
- A real estate brokerage relationship;
- A fiduciary relationship;
- Partnership;
- Joint venture; or
- Employment.
Where an Arizona licensed real estate professional participates, applicable agency and brokerage requirements control.
