What we take on after a fire
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You do not have to clear the house, arrange restoration, or haul fire debris before asking us to buy it. Tell us what you know about the damage and access; we review the house as it stands.
If officials have restricted entry or work, follow their directions. Do not enter a structure that may be unsafe or start cleanup and repairs until you have checked what is safe and allowed.
You keep your insurance proceeds
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 about the damage, access, and any notices you know about.
- We discuss the damage with you and review the house as it stands.
- We provide written offer terms before you commit; if you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company.
Camden safety and local property questions
Do not enter a structure that officials have restricted or that may be unsafe. Follow the fire or building official's and utility's directions for the property before entering or starting cleanup or repair work.
- For a Camden rental, the City Bureau of Housing says rental properties are inspected at a change of ownership and/or occupancy and need a Rental Approval Certificate before occupancy. Ask the Bureau whether that process applies to this property and what is needed before anyone occupies it. Camden City Bureau of Housing →
- If proposed development may involve a historically significant property or historic district, check whether City review applies before planning the work. The City directs property-specific development questions to its Historic Review Committee. Camden Historic Preservation Commission →
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put written cleanup, repair, and rebuilding estimates beside the written offer and terms. Consider the work and time involved, property costs while you decide, any requirements from your insurer or mortgage servicer, and local approvals for the work.
Use the Camden home-sale net proceeds calculator with your own planning assumptions. It provides an estimate, not an insurance payout or contractor quote.
Testimonials are real, from our transactions, verified and approved by our attorneys.
