Why Nickel City Buyers
WHY AMHERST HOMEOWNERS
CHOOSE NCB
CHOOSE NCB
A house fire is one of the most disorienting experiences a homeowner can face. Between insurance claims, contractor estimates, code requirements, and an uninhabitable property, most Amherst homeowners dealing with fire damage are exhausted before they even begin. NCB eliminates all of it. We buy the property exactly as it stands after the fire — structural damage, smoke damage, water damage from suppression, open permits — all of it. You take what can be saved and we handle everything else.
Close in 7 Days
Both parties sign once. NCB handles everything else. Proceeds split at closing per your agreement — done.
No Commission to Split
No 5–6% agent commission eating into proceeds both parties need. NCB charges nothing.
No Repairs to Coordinate
Neither spouse has to agree on contractors, repairs, or staging. We buy exactly as-is.
Court-Order Compatible
If your divorce decree requires a sale, NCB is experienced with court-ordered real estate transactions.
Neutral Third Party
NCB has no stake in your divorce. We make an offer, both parties sign, we close. Clean and simple.
Local Since 2013
NCB is locally owned in Cheektowaga — we close fast and know Erie County real estate.

FIRE DAMAGE IN AMHERST — FAQ
Will NCB buy my Amherst house if the fire caused major structural damage?
Yes. NCB has purchased fire-damaged properties across Erie County with damage ranging from partial smoke and water damage to severe structural compromise — collapsed roofs, burned-out interiors, compromised foundations. Structural damage does not disqualify a property. We factor the full scope of damage into our as-is offer and handle all remediation ourselves after closing. Call (716) 557-7005 for an honest assessment.
Do I need to resolve the insurance claim before selling my fire-damaged Amherst home?
No. You can sell the property as-is without waiting for or resolving an insurance claim. If a claim has already been filed and payment is pending, that is an asset of yours separate from the property sale — the insurance proceeds belong to you regardless of who buys the home. NCB purchases the physical property in its current post-fire condition. Your attorney or insurance agent can advise on how pending claim payments are handled at closing.
Does the City of Amherst or Erie County place any restrictions on selling a fire-damaged home?
Open code violations, condemnation orders, or demolition notices from the Town of Amherst Building Department do not prevent a sale — but they must be disclosed and accounted for at closing. NCB is experienced with fire-damaged properties that carry open municipal orders. We review all active violations as part of our due diligence and factor them into our offer. You are not required to resolve them before closing.
What if there’s still personal property and belongings inside the fire-damaged Amherst home?
Leave anything you cannot or do not want to recover. NCB handles all post-closing cleanout — regardless of damage level or what was left behind. We do not require the property to be cleared before closing.
How does NCB calculate a cash offer on a fire-damaged Amherst property?
We evaluate the property based on its land value and salvageable structure, the Amherst market, comparable sales, and our estimated cost to remediate and rebuild. We walk you through every component of our offer transparently. Fire-damaged properties in Amherst often have more underlying value than homeowners expect — the land and remaining structure retain worth even after significant damage.
Can NCB buy an Amherst fire-damaged home that is also in an estate or probate?
Yes — and this combination is more common than you’d think. NCB regularly purchases inherited properties that have fire damage, often with deferred maintenance preceding the fire event. The process is the same: estate attorney, court authorization if probate is required, NCB offer, close. See our Inherited Property Amherst page and probate condition guides.
