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.
This is about the sale to USA Home Buyers. Your insurer can answer questions about your claim; your mortgage servicer can explain requirements that apply to your loan and proceeds.
Sell without cleanup, repairs, or hauling debris
You don't have to clear the house or finish a repair project before asking about a sale. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what is damaged and what access directions you have; the house can be reviewed in its current condition.
What happens next
- 1. Tell us about the damage. Share the property address, what happened, and any access limits or records you already have.
- 2. Get written terms. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get the offer and written terms before you commit.
- 3. Close through a title company. If you choose to proceed, the transaction closes through a title company.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax. This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
Local safety and permit contacts
Do not enter a restricted or unsafe structure. Follow directions for the actual property from the fire or building officials responsible for the site, your utility providers, and your insurer. Before cleanup, repairs, demolition, remediation, or occupancy, ask the officials responsible for the address which access directions, approvals, inspections, or permits apply to that work.
- Frankfort city address: Start with the City of Frankfort official website and use the property address to confirm the current building-safety or permit contact and what applies to the planned work.
- Other Franklin County address: Use the Franklin County official website for county-office contact lookup, and confirm which jurisdiction handles the property's safety and permit questions.
- Property records: The Franklin County Property Valuation Administrator is a contact for property-valuation questions, not fire-safety or permit approval.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Compare a written repair scope and estimates with the as-is sale terms. Include the steps local officials say apply, debris handling, the time and cost of keeping the property, and the mortgage information your servicer gives you. Compare what you may keep from each path; don't use a guessed insurance payment or a future list price as though it were money in hand.
