Sell without cleaning, repairs, or hauling debris
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You do not have to clear the house or complete restoration before discussing a sale. Tell us what happened and what you know about the property; you can start with the information you have.
If you already have a fire report, safe-access instructions, photos taken from a safe place, or repair estimates, share what is available. You do not need to prepare the house for a showing before we discuss its condition.
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 about the damage, access limits, and timing. Share the address and any records you already have.
- We review the house as it stands and discuss the information you share.
- You receive a written offer and written terms before you commit. If you choose to sell, closing is through a title company.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the West Virginia real estate transfer excise tax and the additional county excise tax. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
Local safety, repair, and permit contacts
Put safety first. Follow the instructions from the officials responsible for the property and your utility. Do not enter until they allow safe access, and ask before starting cleanup, repairs, demolition, or occupancy.
For an address in Clarksburg, start with the official City of Clarksburg website and ask which office handles building safety and permits for that property and the work you are considering. If the property is outside city limits, confirm its local jurisdiction before relying on city instructions.
For Harrison County deed or recording-record questions, contact the Harrison County Clerk's Office. If you have a repair, closure, or demolition order or a related lien, an as-is sale does not erase it; see our Clarksburg code-violation information.
Compare rebuilding with selling as it stands
If you are weighing restoration against a sale, compare written repair and debris-removal estimates, the work and time you want to take on, any permits or inspections officials identify, and the property costs you expect to keep paying. Set those figures beside the written sale terms, and confirm insurance and mortgage questions with the professionals handling your claim and loan.
Use the Clarksburg home-sale net-proceeds calculator to compare sale assumptions you enter, such as repair costs and the cost of waiting, with the written offer and terms.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Howard worked at Home Savings Bank for twenty-eight years. When he retired, we talked about downsizing for two years before we actually did it. The property tax on our Canfield Road house was $3,800 a year, and with both of us on fixed incomes that added up. USA Home Buyers closed in seven days. We're in a smaller place in Boardman with half the maintenance.”
“I got behind on payments after losing my warehouse job. The lender filed in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court and I didn't know what to do. USA Home Buyers explained the Ohio judicial foreclosure timeline, made a written offer the next morning, and we closed before the case moved to summary judgment. I walked away with money instead of losing everything.”
“The house on Michigan Avenue had been in Clara's family since 1951. When the waterline under the street broke, water backed up through the foundation and we had standing water in the basement for four days. Mold, foundation damage, HVAC destroyed. We're both past seventy and we couldn't put $40,000 into a house we'd been thinking about leaving anyway. Closed in ten days.”
