Sell without cleanup, repairs, or hauling debris
We buy the house as it stands. You do not have to clean up, repair fire or smoke damage, or haul debris before selling to us. Tell us what happened and what you know about the property; you can ask about a sale without arranging restoration first.
If officials or your utility have restricted access, follow their directions. An as-is sale does not change instructions about entering the property or doing work there.
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 about the damage
Describe what happened, the condition you know about, and any limits on safe access. Share only what you can safely access.
Review written terms
We give you a written cash offer and written terms before you commit. Read the terms and ask questions before deciding.
Close through a title company
If you choose to proceed, closing is handled through a title company. Title and transaction details are reviewed for the sale.
Hamilton and Butler County contacts
Do not enter a structure that is unsafe or where access is restricted. Follow instructions for the actual property from fire and building officials, utilities, and your insurer before entering or starting work.
- Building permits and inspections: The City of Hamilton permits, certificates, and registrations page directs permit and inspection questions to the Building Department at building@hamilton-oh.gov or (513) 785-7360. Ask what safety, repair, or permit requirements apply to the address and planned work.
- Deed transfer and conveyance questions: Contact the Butler County Auditor at (513) 887-3154. The Recorder handles deed recording; the Auditor is the county contact for deed-transfer and conveyance questions.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
If you are considering rebuilding, compare repair estimates, what your insurer and mortgage servicer say about the claim, any property-specific safety or permit directions, and the cost of keeping the house while work is underway. Weigh those against the written terms for an as-is sale and how much repair work you want to manage.
The Hamilton home-sale calculator compares an estimated listing net with an as-is cash-sale option using your assumptions. Its result is for planning; it is not a written offer for your property.
