What we take on
You do not need to clean up, repair fire or smoke damage, or haul debris before selling to us. We buy the house as it stands, so you can compare a sale without first taking on restoration work yourself.
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. Keep their instructions and claim papers with the information you share about the property; an insurance claim or mortgage requirement is specific to your situation.
What happens next
Tell us what was damaged, what access limits you know about, and what reports or claim papers you have. We discuss the property with you and provide a written offer and written terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
Closing costs do not include your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
Local safety, permit, and inspection questions
Do not enter an unsafe structure. Follow directions from fire responders, building officials, your utility, and your insurer before entering or starting work. An as-is sale does not erase an existing safety order or local permit requirement; the rules and responsible office depend on the property's location and record.
The Fairbanks North Star Borough official website is a local-government contact point. Give the office the exact address and ask which city or borough office handles the property's fire, building, permit, or inspection question. Confirm any repair or access instructions with the responsible officials before work begins.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Compare written repair estimates and debris removal with permit or inspection steps, carrying costs, and the time needed to restore the house. Then weigh those costs against a written as-is offer and its terms. Use your own property details and verify insurance and mortgage requirements with the professionals handling them.
The Fairbanks net-proceeds calculator lets you test your own assumptions. It is a planning estimate, not a property-specific offer or approval of repair work.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

What happens to my insurance proceeds if I sell to you?

Do I have to remove debris or finish repairs first?
No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You do not need to haul debris or restore the house before discussing a sale.
Can I enter or start repairs on the property now?
Do not enter an unsafe structure. Follow directions from fire responders, building officials, your utility, and your insurer before entering or starting work.
Who can answer Fairbanks permit or inspection questions?
Start with the Fairbanks North Star Borough official contact page and give the office the property address. Confirm which city or borough office has jurisdiction and handles the specific permit, inspection, or safety question; local requirements vary.
How can I compare rebuilding with an as-is sale?
Compare written repair estimates, debris removal, any permit or inspection steps, carrying costs, and your own mortgage and insurance information with the written sale terms. The Fairbanks calculator can help test your assumptions, but it cannot determine what requirements apply to your property.
