What we take on
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You do not have to arrange a cleanout or finish repairs to sell to us.
Tell us what happened and what you know about the property. You can discuss a sale while the damage is still there.
Insurance proceeds and your mortgage
You keep your insurance proceeds when we buy the house exactly as it stands. 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 the Bridgeport address, what happened, and what you know about the damage and access.
- We review the property information and give you a written cash offer and written terms.
- Read the terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, a title company handles the closing.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Connecticut state and municipal real estate conveyance taxes. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
Local safety, permit, and land-record contacts
Do not enter if officials have restricted access or the structure may be unsafe. Follow the directions for the actual property from fire or building officials, utility providers, and your insurer. Before cleanup, debris removal, repairs, or demolition, ask the official responsible for the address what access rules, permits, and inspections apply to the planned work.
If an owner doesn't fix a dangerous, unsanitary, or blighted condition, the town can secure, repair, or demolish the building and recover its costs from the owner, including through a lien on the property. An as-is sale does not remove an existing order or lien.
For current city contacts about the property, use the City of Bridgeport official website. The City identifies the Town Clerk as keeper of Land Records.
