What we take on
You can sell to us without cleaning the house, repairing fire damage, or hauling debris. We buy the property as it stands, so you do not have to finish a cleanout or restoration before asking about a sale.
If the property may be unsafe, stay out until the officials responsible for the property say entry is allowed. An as-is sale does not clear an entry restriction or authorize repair or demolition work.
Insurance proceeds and your mortgage
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 what happened, which parts of the house were damaged, whether officials have limited access, and what you know about the claim and mortgage. We can discuss the property without asking you to clean or repair it first.
We give you a written offer and written terms before you commit. If you choose to move forward, the closing takes place through a title company. The property records and the people responsible for the insurance claim, mortgage, and any city requirements determine what applies to your situation.
Grand Forks safety, repairs, and permits
Do not enter a property if officials have restricted access or have not cleared it for entry. For a Grand Forks City address, ask the City which safety instructions, permits, or inspections apply before cleanup, repairs, or demolition. Start with City Inspection Services; if you have a written notice, the City Code Enforcement page is another contact route. Confirm the current instructions for the specific address.
For Grand Forks County property-tax or parcel questions, use the County Finance and Tax page or its iTax portal. Check parcel-specific information and current instructions directly with the County.
For deed and real-property record questions, contact the Grand Forks County Recorder and confirm its current contact and recording instructions.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put the numbers you have side by side: a written fire-repair scope and estimate, information from your insurer and mortgage servicer, the cost of holding the property, and the written sale terms. Keep the insurance claim and mortgage requirements in the comparison, and leave unknown amounts as estimates instead of guessing.
The Grand Forks calculator is another planning comparison. Its estimates do not replace a contractor's scope, your insurer's claim information, or your mortgage servicer's requirements.
