Sell without cleanup, repairs, or hauling debris
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You don't have to arrange a cleanout or finish repairs before discussing a sale with us.
Tell us what happened and what you know about the property. You can discuss an as-is sale while the damage is still there.
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 Charlotte or Mecklenburg County address and what you know about the fire damage and access.
- We discuss the property and give you a written cash offer and written 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 North Carolina's excise tax on conveyances. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Local safety, permit, and property-record contacts
If the structure may be unsafe or officials have restricted entry, do not enter. Follow the directions for the actual address from the fire or building officials and utility provider responsible for the property. Before cleanup, debris removal, demolition, or repairs, ask the local office responsible for that address what approvals apply; do not assume access or work has been cleared.
The City of Charlotte publishes a Code Enforcement service-area map for nuisance and zoning inspector assignments. It does not show whether a particular property has a current order. Check any notice with the issuing City office, and confirm building-safety and permit instructions for the specific address.

- Mecklenburg County Land Records Management → — ownership-file and cadastral-map inquiries. Online records may lag recorded instruments; a map is not a title determination.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put a written repair scope and contractor estimates beside the information from your insurer and mortgage servicer, expected holding costs, and written sale terms. Compare what each path may leave you after its costs. Use figures for this house; a general estimate cannot tell you what repairs it needs or what an insurer will pay.
The Charlotte calculator lets you compare listing and as-is sale estimates using your own assumptions. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
