What we take on after a fire
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You don't have to clear the property or finish restoration before asking us about a sale.
Fire, smoke, and water damage can leave cleanup and repair work. Tell us what you know; we review the house in its current condition.
You keep your insurance proceeds
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 property address, what happened, and any access limits you know about.
- We discuss the damage and review the house as it stands.
- Before you commit, we give you a written offer and written terms; closing is through a title company.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
Bay City and Bay County property help
Do not enter a structure that officials have restricted or that may be unsafe. Before cleanup, repairs, demolition, or rebuilding, ask the fire or building official responsible for the property's address what work and approvals apply.
For deed or land-record questions, these Bay County offices are local starting points:
- Bay County Register of Deeds
Contact the county office for deed or land-record questions.
- Bay County Clerk
A county-office contact for routing county questions.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put written cleanup, repair, or rebuilding estimates beside a written offer and its terms. Consider the project scope, how much work you want to manage, how long it could take, and the property costs you expect to keep paying. Confirm your own claim and mortgage requirements with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
Use the Bay City home-sale net proceeds calculator with your own planning assumptions. It is an estimate, not a repair estimate or an insurance payout.
