What we take on
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You do not have to arrange a cleanout or finish restoration before selling to us.
Tell us what happened and what you know about the property. You can discuss an as-is sale while the damage is still there; do not put yourself at risk to inspect or clear the house.
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 the Greensburg or Westmoreland County address, what happened, and what you know about access.
- We discuss the damage and the information available, then give you a written cash offer.
- Read the written offer and terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, a title company handles the closing.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
Local safety and permit help
If the structure may be unsafe or officials have restricted entry, do not go inside. Follow the fire and building officials responsible for the property and the utility provider. Before cleanup, repairs, or demolition, ask which access rules and approvals apply to the address and planned work.
The City of Greensburg lists Planning & Development at 416 S. Main Street, City Hall, Room 203, phone (724) 838-4335. The office is a local starting point for planning, code, and permit guidance; ask about the specific property and work rather than assuming a permit or clearance applies.

- City Red X program information → — the City describes Red X as a responder warning for certain unoccupied, blighted structures with structural-compromise concerns; it is not a demolition designation or proof of City ownership.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put a written repair scope and contractor estimates beside the information from your insurer and mortgage servicer, expected holding costs, any required access or permit steps, and written sale terms. Compare what you may keep after costs, not just a possible list price. Use figures for this property rather than guessing at repair costs or an insurance payment.
Use the Greensburg calculator to compare an estimated listing net with an as-is sale estimate using your own assumptions. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
