What we take on
You can ask about selling while the fire damage is still there. You do not need to clean out the house, arrange repairs, or haul debris before selling to us. Tell us what was damaged and any access limits officials have given you; you do not need to enter an unsafe property to start the conversation.
We buy the house exactly as it stands — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. If you already have a fire report, photos, or insurer correspondence, you can tell us about them while we discuss the property; you do not need to arrange cleanup first.
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 address, what happened, and what you know about the damage and access.
- We discuss the property with you and give you a written cash offer and written terms before you commit.
- If you choose to proceed, closing is handled through a title company.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Local safety, repair, and permit help
If the house may be unsafe or officials have restricted access, do not go inside. Follow instructions for the address from the responsible fire or building officials, utility providers, and insurer. Before cleanup, debris removal, repairs, or demolition, ask the local office responsible for that property what access and approvals apply.
For a property inside Brownsville city limits, start with the City of Brownsville's official site to find the right contact for the address. A Brownsville mailing address alone does not establish that a property is inside city limits, so confirm the jurisdiction before relying on city-specific instructions.
City of Brownsville official website →Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
For rebuilding, compare written repair estimates, any access or permit instructions for the address, insurer and mortgage-servicer requirements, and the costs of utilities and carrying the house while you wait. For a sale, compare the written terms with estimated listing proceeds after repairs, cleanup, selling costs, and time—not just the headline price.
Use the Brownsville calculator with your own figures to compare estimated proceeds and listing costs. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
