What we take on after a fire
You can ask about selling the house as it stands. You do not need to clean it, repair it, or haul away fire debris to sell to us. That lets you compare an as-is sale without first organizing a cleanout or restoration project.
Keep out of a structure that is unsafe or restricted. Confirm safe access with the officials responsible for the property before entering or arranging work.
You keep your insurance proceeds
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
1. Talk through the damage
Share the address, what happened, and any known access restrictions or instructions.
2. Review written terms
We discuss the property and provide a written offer and written terms before you commit.
3. Close through a title company
If you choose to sell, the title company handles closing. The property's actual records and requirements still need to be reviewed.
Local help for safety, repairs, and records
For a Faribault property, start with the City of Faribault's official site to find the current contact for the address. Ask the responsible building or safety official whether the structure is safe to enter and what permits or inspections may apply before cleanup, repairs, demolition, or occupancy. Requirements depend on the property and work; do not assume a permit is or is not needed.
- City of Faribault official website →
- Rice County Recorder/Registrar of Titles — property-records contact →
The Recorder's Office is a starting point for Rice County property-record questions, not fire-safety or permit direction. Follow the instructions of the officials responsible for the damaged property.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Rebuilding, listing after repairs, and selling as-is involve different work and timing. Compare a written restoration estimate and expected schedule with what your insurer and mortgage servicer say about your claim and loan. Then compare those assumptions with the written as-is offer and what you might keep from a listing after its costs and time.
The Faribault calculator lets you compare possible sale proceeds using your own assumptions; it is not a property-specific offer. Consider the damage, safe access, repair costs, the time you can carry the property, and the mortgage balance when weighing the options.
