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 restoration or debris removal before selling to us.
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
- We talk with you about what was damaged, safe access, and your timing.
- We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
- You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
- Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from closing costs.
No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax. No fees.
