Sell without cleaning up after the fire
You do not have to clear damaged materials, arrange repairs, or haul debris before selling to us. We buy the house in its current condition, so you can compare an as-is sale without first taking on the cleanup and repair work.
Your insurance proceeds and mortgage
When we buy the house exactly as it stands, 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.
Talk through the damage and the sale
Tell us what happened and what condition the house is in. We discuss the damage with you, give you written terms before you commit, and close through a title company. You can call or use the form to ask for a cash offer.
Local building and safety information
For a house within Cape Girardeau city limits, the City's Inspection Services page covers building inspections and City-adopted construction-code matters. Do not enter a structure marked unsafe; follow any entry restrictions from the fire department or building official for the property.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Rebuilding can mean taking on cleanup, repairs, and property-specific approvals. Selling to us does not require you to complete cleanup, repairs, or debris removal first. Compare an estimated sale net with the repair and carrying costs you are weighing; the calculator is an estimate, not a property-specific offer or an insurance payout.
