What we take on after a fire
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You do not have to finish restoration or haul fire debris before selling the house to us.
Tell us what you know about the damage and the property's condition. We review the house as it stands, including cleanup and repair needs.
Insurance proceeds and your mortgage
When we buy the house exactly as it stands, 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 address, what happened, and any access limits or notices you know about.
- We discuss the damage with you and review the house as it stands.
- We give you written terms before you commit; if you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Nebraska's documentary stamp tax. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Local safety, permit, and property-record help
If an official has restricted entry, stay out and follow the directions for that property. For a Hastings address, use the official City of Hastings website to reach the appropriate city contact. Give them the property address and ask which office handles safe access, repairs, and permit questions for that property. Do not assume that work is cleared or that a permit is or is not required. If the house is outside city limits, confirm which local authority handles that address.
These Adams County offices are for property-record and assessment questions, not fire-safety or permit instructions:
- Adams County Register of Deeds
County office for land-record context.
- Adams County Assessor
County property-assessment office.
Compare rebuilding with selling as it stands
Put written cleanup, repair, and rebuilding estimates beside the written offer and its terms. Consider the work you want to manage, how long it may take, and the property costs while you decide. Check any insurer, mortgage-servicer, or local-official requirements that apply to the actual property.
Use the Hastings home-sale net proceeds calculator with your own planning assumptions. It is an estimate, not an insurance payout or contractor quote.
