What we take on
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You do not have to clean out the house, repair the fire damage, or arrange debris removal before selling to us.
You can tell us what happened and compare written terms without first taking on a cleanup or restoration project.
Insurance proceeds and your mortgage
We buy the house exactly as it stands, and you keep your insurance proceeds. Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
What happens next
- Tell us about the damage, the property, and any limits on safe access. You can call while you are still sorting through paperwork.
- We discuss the property and give you a written offer and written terms before you commit.
- If you choose to sell, a title company handles the closing. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
Local safety, repairs, and property records
Do not enter a property officials have marked unsafe or restricted. Follow fire, building, and utility instructions for that address. Before cleanup, repairs, demolition, or hauling debris, ask the official responsible for the property whether access restrictions, approvals, or permits apply; do not assume work is allowed because the house is being sold as-is.
For an address within Amarillo, start with the City of Amarillo's official site to find the right city office for safety or work questions. The City Marshal page is a code-enforcement contact for city property notices, not fire-scene clearance. For an address outside city limits, check with the official responsible for that property's jurisdiction.

The county clerk pages are starting points for county-level seller-records follow-up. They do not clear a fire scene or authorize cleanup or repairs.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put the written sale terms beside the repair scope and contractor estimates you actually have, debris removal, holding costs, mortgage payoff, and the time and coordination a rebuild may take. Use current claim information from your insurer rather than assuming a payout. If a cost or claim amount is unknown, leave it open instead of guessing.
The Amarillo calculator compares a possible listing net with a cash-sale estimate using the assumptions you enter. It is a planning estimate, not an insurance or contractor estimate and not a property-specific offer.
