What we take on after a fire
You do not have to clean the house, make repairs, or haul away fire debris before selling to us. We buy the property as it stands, so you can discuss a sale while the damage is still there.
Your insurance proceeds and mortgage
We buy the house exactly as it stands, and you keep your insurance proceeds. If you still have a mortgage, your lender may have a say in how that check is used — we'll walk through it with you.
What happens next
- Tell us what happened and what you know about the damage.
- We discuss the house as it stands and give you written terms before you decide.
- If you choose to proceed, a title company handles the closing.
You can call or use the form to talk with us about the property; you do not need to arrange cleanup first.
Safety and local repair guidance
If officials have restricted access or say the structure is unsafe, stay out and follow their directions. The City lists five locally designated historic districts; if you are considering work on a house in one, its guidance says to ask the Historic Preservation Planner which review process applies.
Hattiesburg Historic Conservation Commission guidance →Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
If you are weighing repairs against selling, compare any written repair estimate and the costs of keeping the house with the written sale terms. Use the details of your own insurance claim rather than guessing at a payout.
