What we take on after a fire
You can sell without cleaning up, repairing the house, or hauling away debris first. We buy it as it stands, including the damage and work still needed.
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 we'll talk through the damage and the house as it stands.
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 Maryland's state transfer tax, recordation tax and any applicable county transfer tax. No fees. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Safety and permits after a fire
If fire or building officials have told you to stay out or restricted entry, follow their directions. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911. You can talk with us about the house without going inside.
