What we take on

A fire can leave damaged materials, smoke cleanup, and debris. You do not have to clean the house, arrange repairs, or haul debris before selling to us. Tell us what happened and what parts can be safely accessed; we buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand.

If fire officials, City officials, or utility staff have restricted entry or work, follow their directions. Do not enter a structure that may be unsafe.

Your insurance proceeds and 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 safe, any City notice, and your timing. We discuss the property with you and give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You receive a written offer and written terms before you commit; if you decide to sell, closing is through a title company.

Call 888-274-5006 or send the property details through the form to ask for a cash offer.

Belfast building safety and permit contacts

If the house may be unsafe, stay out and follow directions from officials responsible for that property. For repairs or inspections, ask the relevant municipality which permits or inspections apply to the address and planned work.

The City of Belfast Planning & Codes page publishes building, electrical, and plumbing permit materials. Waldo County says permitting and zoning are handled by each municipality: contact Belfast for a Belfast address, or the town office for a property elsewhere in the county.

Compare rebuilding with selling as-is

Compare cleanup and debris costs, repair or rebuilding estimates, any permits the municipality says apply, and the costs of carrying the house while work continues with the written sale terms. Do not assume an insurance payout; confirm claim and mortgage requirements with your insurer and mortgage servicer.

The calculator compares estimated listing proceeds with an as-is sale using the assumptions you enter. Its result is an estimate, not a property-specific offer.
