What we take on after a fire

We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You do not have to arrange cleanup, repairs, or debris hauling before selling the house to us.

Tell us what was affected and what access limits apply. If you have a fire report, insurer correspondence, or instructions from officials, those details can help us discuss the property as it is.

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

  1. Tell us about the damage, the property, and any access restrictions you know about.
  2. We discuss the damage with you and give you written offer terms before you commit.
  3. If you choose to proceed, a title company handles closing. The property and closing records determine what can be completed.

Local safety, repairs, and permits

Do not enter a structure that officials have restricted or that may be unsafe. Follow the directions for the actual property from the fire or building official and utility. If there is an immediate emergency, call 911.

Compare rebuilding with selling as-is

Rebuilding can mean coordinating cleanup, contractor estimates, permits, and time on the property. Compare written repair or rebuilding estimates with the written sale terms, and consider any instructions from your insurer, mortgage servicer, and local officials.

Use the Corning home-sale net proceeds calculator with your own planning assumptions. It compares estimated listing proceeds with an as-is cash-sale estimate; it does not calculate an insurance payout or rebuilding cost.

Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

A seller's experience from Rochester, NY

Testimonials are real, from our transactions, verified and approved by our attorneys. This seller's account describes flood damage in Rochester, not a Corning fire-damage sale.

“Lake Ontario flooding in the spring got into our basement on Lakeshore Boulevard twice. The second time killed the furnace and HVAC and left six inches of standing water. Our insurer totaled the contents but fought the structural claim. USA Home Buyers knew Charlotte's flood situation well — no surprises in the offer, no inspection drama. Closed in ten days.”
