We take the house as it stands
After a fire, cleanup, repairs, and debris removal can add expense and work. We buy the house as-is, so you do not have to clean it, make repairs, or haul debris to sell to us.
Insurance proceeds and your mortgage
We buy the house exactly as it stands, and 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.
What happens next
We talk with you about the damage and the property as it stands, then provide a written offer and written terms before you commit. If you decide to sell, we close through a title company.
