What we take on
A fire can leave damaged rooms, smoke cleanup, and debris to deal with. You do not have to clean out the house, arrange repairs, or haul debris before selling to us. We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris.
Tell us what access is allowed; you do not need to make the house ready for us before asking about a sale.
Insurance proceeds and your mortgage
We buy the house exactly as it stands, and you keep your insurance proceeds.
That does not guarantee an insurance payment or release claim money your insurer, mortgage servicer, or local officials are holding for repairs or demolition.
Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
What happens next
- Tell us what happened, what damage you know about, and any limits on safe access. You can call or use the form.
- We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You can review the written offer and its terms before deciding.
- If you decide to sell, closing is through a title company. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
Fremont building safety, repairs, and permits
Do not enter a structure officials have said is unsafe. Follow fire-department and utility directions before entry, cleanup, repairs, or demolition.
For City permit information, see the City of Fremont permits and forms page. Newaygo County also provides a Building Inspector and service map; check the map to see whether the County serves the property address.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put written repair and cleanup estimates, debris costs, likely time and carrying costs, and any permit or inspection requirements beside the written sale terms. Ask your insurer and mortgage servicer how their requirements apply to your claim and loan. Compare what you may keep after costs rather than guessing at an insurance payment or looking only at a possible sale price.
Use the Fremont home-sale calculator with your own planning figures to compare possible net proceeds. It is an estimate based on the assumptions you enter, not a property-specific offer or insurance determination.
