What we take on
You do not need to clean up, repair the house, or haul away fire debris to sell it to us. We discuss the damage and any access limits, then consider the property as it stands.
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 access is allowed. We discuss the damage, review the property, and give you written terms before you decide. If you choose to sell, closing is through a title company.
Safety and local building help
If fire or building officials, emergency personnel, or utilities have restricted entry—or the structure may be unsafe—stay out and follow their directions. Do not enter to take photos or remove belongings.
For an Erie city property, contact the City of Erie about building safety, repairs, or permits. For a home elsewhere in Erie County, tell us where it is and we'll help find the right local office. City of Erie official website ↗
Compare rebuilding with an as-is sale
If you are considering repairs or rebuilding, weigh the costs and time involved, plus the expense of securing and maintaining the property, against the written terms for an as-is sale.
