What we take on
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You don't have to arrange a cleanout or finish repairs before discussing a sale with us.
Tell us what happened and what damage remains. You can discuss an as-is sale while the damage is still there, without taking on a restoration project first.
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, what damage remains, and any access limits.
- We review the property details and give you a written offer and written terms before you commit.
- If you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company.
You can call before gathering paperwork or arranging repairs.
Local safety, permit, and property-record contacts
Do not enter a damaged structure if access is restricted or it may be unsafe. Follow directions for the actual address from the responsible fire or building officials, utility provider, and insurer. Before cleanup, debris removal, repairs, or demolition, ask the local officials responsible for the property what access and permit requirements apply to that work.
For a property within Auburn city limits, start with the City of Auburn's official site to find the current contact for safety, repair, or permit questions. If the property is outside the city, check with the local authority responsible for its address.
The Recorder is a county property-record contact; it is not the source for site-safety or permit instructions.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put a written repair scope and contractor estimates beside your insurer's claim information, mortgage details, expected time and carrying costs, and the written sale terms. Use figures for this property rather than guessing at an insurance payment or repair total.
The Auburn home-sale calculator lets you compare listing and as-is sale estimates with your own assumptions. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
