Sell without cleanup, repairs, or hauling debris
You do not have to clean out the house, repair fire damage, or haul away debris to sell it to us. We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. Tell us what you know about the damage and any limits on safe access; do not put yourself at risk to gather details.
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 what was damaged, what access is allowed, and what you know about the property's condition. We discuss the house with you and give you a written offer and written terms before you commit; closing is through a title company. We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Baton Rouge fire safety and permits
Follow the fire department and building officials’ directions for the actual property. Do not enter a structure if officials have restricted access or it may be unsafe. Before cleanup, repairs, or demolition, ask City-Parish Inspection & Permits which permits or inspections apply to that address and work.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put repair and debris-removal estimates, any permit or inspection steps for the actual work, the time rebuilding may take, and the bills you would carry beside the written sale terms. Include any insurer instructions and mortgage-servicer requirements in your comparison.
The calculator estimates possible net proceeds from a sale. Compare that estimate with property-specific repair estimates and the time and costs involved in rebuilding; it is not a repair estimate or a written offer.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
