What we do with a fire-damaged house
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.
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris required to sell to us. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
Your insurer—not the buyer—explains your coverage, claim steps, and any payment conditions. Your mortgage servicer can explain requirements tied to your loan. We do not decide whether a loss is covered or how much an insurer will pay.
Check safety and access before entering
Follow directions from the fire department and other officials responsible for the actual property. A house that looks accessible may still have restrictions. Do not assume entry, utility reconnection, inspection, repair, debris removal, or demolition is safe or permitted; confirm what applies at this address.
Keep the fire report, access instructions, utility status, insurer correspondence, mortgage information, and any borough notices together. You can call us even if some records are not available yet.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Compare written sale terms with the claim information and requirements you have, mortgage-servicer instructions, contractor scopes or quotes already in hand, known carrying costs, and the time you want to spend on the property. Rebuilding or listing may be the better fit if those real numbers and your timing work.
A direct as-is sale is another option if you do not want to take on repairs or cleanout before selling to us. Compare using estimates for this property rather than a generic repair-cost guess.

Gettysburg offices and Pennsylvania disclosure guidance
For a property in Gettysburg borough, start with the Borough of Gettysburg official website to confirm which office handles the address-specific permit, code, or property-direction question. Follow the directions of officials responsible for the property; do not assume a sale changes a safety order or permit requirement.
The Adams County Recorder of Deeds is the county office for deed and land-recording context. For estate-related office routing, see the county Register of Wills and Clerk of Orphans’ Court. A title company or your attorney can explain which records and authority matter to your sale.
