What we take on
You can sell without cleaning the house, repairing fire or smoke damage, or hauling debris first. We buy the house in its current condition, so you can discuss an as-is sale before taking on restoration 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
Tell us about the damage, any access directions, and the questions you already have. We can discuss the house as it stands; you do not have to finish cleanup or repairs first.
- We talk through the address, damage, access, and details you know.
- We give you a written cash offer within 24 hours and provide written terms before you commit.
- If you choose to proceed, a title company handles the closing. Read the written terms for the transaction details.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the county documentary transfer tax and any city transfer tax.
That doesn't pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes; those are separate amounts.
Local safety, repair, and property-record contacts
Do not enter a fire-damaged house if it may be unsafe. Follow directions from the fire or building officials responsible for the actual property. Before cleanup, repairs, demolition, or reoccupancy, ask those officials which permits or inspections apply to the address and planned work.
For a property within the City of Fresno, these city contacts can help with local code or historic-preservation questions. City contacts are distinct from Fresno County offices; for property outside city limits, check with the jurisdiction responsible for that address.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Compare the repair scope and contractor estimates you have, access and utility conditions, insurer information, mortgage-servicer requirements, holding expenses, and written sale terms. Do not guess at an insurance payout; confirm your own claim with the insurer.
The Fresno calculator compares estimated listing proceeds with a direct-sale estimate using your assumptions. Adjust the figures for the costs and repairs you are considering; the result is a planning estimate, not an offer for this house or a prediction of what insurance will pay.
