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 leave the cleanup, repairs, and debris hauling to us as part of the as-is sale.
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 we’ll talk through the damage, the house as it stands, and your timing. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Iowa real estate transfer tax. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.
Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Safety and permit questions
If fire or building officials have told you not to enter, stay out and follow their directions. You can tell us what you know about the house without going inside.
For a Bettendorf home, the City Building Division handles building permits and inspection requests. If you’re weighing repairs, they can tell you what applies to that work.

Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Compare your written sale terms with the repair, cleanup, debris-removal costs, and time you expect if you rebuild. The Bettendorf calculator can help compare a direct sale with what you might keep from listing, using numbers that fit the house.
