Sell without cleanup, repairs, or hauling debris
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You don't have to clear the rooms, arrange a cleanout, or repair the house before selling to us. Tell us what happened and what access limits apply; we can discuss the property in its current condition.
You can compare written terms without first taking on debris removal or restoration work. The damage can still be there when we review the house.
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 Bangor address, what happened, what damage you know about, and any access restrictions.
- We discuss the property with you and give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
- You receive written terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company.
Building safety, repairs, and permits
Do not enter a structure that may be unsafe. Follow directions from the fire or building officials and utility responsible for that address. Before cleanup, repairs, or demolition, ask the responsible officials whether access restrictions, permits, or inspections apply to the property.
For a Bangor address, the City of Bangor Code Enforcement office is a local contact for building-permit, inspection, and Code Enforcement routing. If the house is outside Bangor, contact the municipality responsible for that address rather than assuming the City handles its permits.

Put the actual repair scope and contractor estimates beside information from your insurer, any mortgage requirements, expected holding costs, and written sale terms. Compare figures for this property rather than guessing at repair costs or an insurance payment.
The Bangor calculator compares a listing estimate with what you might net from a sale using your own assumptions. It is a sale-proceeds comparison, not an insurance-payout or rebuilding-cost estimate.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the real estate transfer tax.
This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
