What we take on after a fire
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You can talk with us about selling while the damage and debris are still there.
Insurance proceeds and your mortgage
We buy the house exactly as it stands, and you keep your insurance proceeds. If you still have a mortgage, your lender may have a say in how that check is used — we'll walk through it with you.
What happens next
Tell us what happened and what you know about the damage and access. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Vermont's property transfer tax and Clean Water Surcharge.
