What we take on when you sell as-is
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You do not have to arrange restoration, clear rooms, or haul debris before selling to us. If the property has access restrictions, follow the directions for that address before visiting or arranging work.
Insurance proceeds and mortgage requirements
We buy the house exactly as it stands, and you keep your insurance proceeds. That describes the sale to USA Home Buyers; it does not tell you whether your policy covers the loss or what an insurer will pay.
Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
What happens next
- Tell us about the fire, the house, any access limits, and what records you already have.
- We discuss the damage and the property details with you, then provide a written offer and written terms before you commit.
- If you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company. The written terms and property information guide the next steps.
Bellefontaine and Logan County contacts
Do not enter if officials have restricted access or you are unsure the structure is safe. Follow the fire or building official's directions and your utility's instructions for this address. Before cleanup, repairs, or demolition, ask the authority responsible for the property whether the work is allowed and which permits or inspections apply. Call 911 for an immediate emergency.
For a property inside Bellefontaine city limits, the City of Bellefontaine website is a local starting point. Use the contact named on a fire or building notice for address-specific safety and repair questions. If the property is outside the city, confirm which local authority handles that address.
Logan County Recorder
The Recorder is the county office listed in the market packet; its page is not a source for a property's fire-safety status or repair-permit requirements. For those, contact the responsible local authority.
Compare rebuilding with selling as it stands
If you are considering rebuilding, compare written repair estimates, your insurer's claim information, any mortgage requirements, the work you want to manage, and the costs of holding the property while work is underway. For a sale comparison, read written offer terms alongside the listing path's expected repairs, commissions, concessions, and carrying costs.
The Bellefontaine calculator compares estimated listing net with an as-is cash-sale estimate using your planning assumptions. It does not estimate rebuilding costs or an insurance payment.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Testimonials are real, from our transactions, verified and approved by our attorneys. This account is from Youngstown, not Bellefontaine, and describes an inherited-property sale, not a fire-damage sale.
“My father worked at Youngstown Sheet and Tube his whole life. When he passed, I inherited the house on the South Side — built in 1928, deferred maintenance for 20 years, code violations the city had flagged twice. I live in Cleveland now. USA Home Buyers made a written offer the next day, handled everything, and closed in 11 days.”
