What we take on after a fire
You do not need to clean up, repair the house, or haul away fire debris before selling to us. We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris.
Tell us what was damaged and what work, if any, has already been done. You can discuss an as-is sale while the damage is still there.
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 the Auburn address, what happened, and what you know about the damage and access.
- We discuss the damage and the condition of the house with you.
- Read the written offer and terms before you decide. If you choose to proceed, a title company handles the closing.
Auburn safety, repair, and permit contacts
If the house may be unsafe or officials have restricted access, stay out and follow directions for that property from the responsible fire or building officials and utility provider. Before cleanup, debris removal, repairs, or rebuilding, ask the officials responsible for the address what access rules, permits, and inspections apply.
For a property inside Auburn city limits, contact Auburn Inspection Services about permits and inspections for planned work. If the address or local jurisdiction is unclear, the City of Auburn map and Lee County property-tax maps can help you check it; a mailing city name or ZIP code alone does not establish jurisdiction.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put written cleanup and repair estimates beside the written sale terms. Consider the time and carrying costs while work is underway, and ask what permits, inspections, insurer requirements, or mortgage requirements apply to this property. You do not have to guess at an insurance payout to compare the choices.
Use the Auburn home-sale net proceeds calculator with assumptions that fit your situation. It is a planning estimate, not an insurance payout or contractor quote.
