What we take on
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You do not have to arrange a cleanout, finish repairs, or haul debris before discussing a sale with us. Tell us what happened and what you know about the damage; don't enter an unsafe house to gather details.
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 the Evansville or Vanderburgh County address and what you know about the damage and access.
- We discuss the property and give you a written offer and written terms before you commit.
- If you choose to sell, a title company handles the closing.
Evansville safety and permit contact
Follow any access restrictions or directions from fire or building officials. Don't enter if the house may be unsafe. Before arranging cleanup, repairs, or demolition, ask the office responsible for the property what requirements apply.
For a property inside Evansville city limits, the City Building Commission handles permitting and inspection services. If the address is elsewhere in Vanderburgh County, confirm which office is responsible for that location.
City of Evansville Building Commission → — call (812) 436-7885 for City permitting and inspection questions.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Compare a written repair estimate and the cost of cleanup with the written terms for an as-is sale. Consider any costs you would carry while repairs are underway, and follow your insurer's and mortgage servicer's directions for your claim and loan.
The Evansville calculator lets you compare an estimated listing net with an as-is sale using your own assumptions. It is a planning estimate, not a repair quote or insurance decision.
