What we take on
You do not have to clean the house, finish repairs, or haul burned debris before selling to us. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
You can talk with us while the fire damage is still there. Tell us what happened and what you know about the property; you do not need to arrange a cleanout first.
Insurance proceeds and your mortgage
We buy the house exactly as it stands, and you keep your insurance proceeds. If you still have a mortgage, your lender may have a say in how that check is used — we'll walk through it with you.
What happens next
- We talk through the damage, condition, and access with you.
- You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
Local safety and permit help
Do not enter if officials have restricted access or the structure may be unsafe. Follow the directions of fire or building officials and utility providers before entering or starting work.

Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Compare the written sale terms with repair and cleanup costs and what it would cost to keep the house while work is underway. Your mortgage payoff also affects what you take away.
Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from closing costs. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.
The Baraboo calculator lets you compare possible sale proceeds using your own assumptions.
