What we take on
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
You can talk with us about the house while the damage is still there. You do not have to arrange a cleanout, repairs, or debris hauling first.
Insurance proceeds and your mortgage
We buy the house exactly as it stands, and you keep your insurance proceeds. This describes the sale to us; it does not determine whether your insurer covers the loss or what it pays. Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.

Local building safety, permits, and property records
A fire-damaged structure may be unsafe. Do not enter if access is restricted or the structure may not be safe. Follow directions for the actual property from the officials responsible for the site and the utility provider. Before cleanup, repairs, or demolition, ask the City of Alexandria which approvals or permits apply to the address and planned work.

Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put written repair estimates beside the information from your insurer and mortgage servicer, the property costs you expect to keep paying while you decide, and the written sale terms. Compare the work and time you want to take on with the amount you expect to keep from each route; do not guess at an insurance payment or fire-repair cost.
Use the Alexandria home-sale calculator with your own planning assumptions. Its estimate is not a property-specific offer, repair estimate, or insurance decision.
