What we take on
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You don't have to arrange a cleanout or finish repairs before discussing a sale with us.
Tell us what happened and what you know about the property. You can discuss an as-is sale while the damage is still there.
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 the Bemidji address, what happened, and what you know about the damage and access.
- We discuss the property and give you a written cash offer with written terms.
- Read the terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, a title company handles closing.
You can call or send the address before arranging repairs or gathering every document.
Local safety, permit, and property-record contacts
If the structure may be unsafe, do not enter while officials restrict access or before the responsible officials say it is safe. Follow directions at the site from fire or building officials and the utility provider. Before cleaning, removing debris, repairing, or demolishing, ask the officials responsible for that address what access rules and permits apply to the planned work.
For a property within Bemidji city limits, start with the City's official website to find the current city contact for safety or permit questions. For a property outside city limits, contact the government responsible for that address and confirm requirements before work begins.

The Beltrami County Recorder is a starting point for real-estate-record questions. County land-record links do not decide whether a damaged structure is safe or whether repair work is permitted.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put a written repair scope and contractor estimates beside the information from your insurer, mortgage and holding costs, and written sale terms. Use figures for this house; a general repair estimate cannot tell you what this property needs or what an insurer will pay.
The Bemidji calculator compares estimated listing proceeds with an as-is sale using your assumptions. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
