What we take on after a fire
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You can sell without cleaning out the house, arranging repairs, or hauling away what the fire left behind.
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
Tell us what happened and what you know about the damage. We talk through the house and timing with you. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Rhode Island's real estate conveyance tax. No fees. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
