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 clean the house, repair fire or smoke damage, or arrange a debris cleanout before selling to us.
Tell us what happened and what you know about the house. You can ask about an as-is sale while the damage is still there; do not enter an unsafe or restricted structure to gather details.
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
Share the address, what was damaged, what remains at the house, and any limits on access. Only share details you can get without entering an unsafe property.
Read your written offer
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You receive written terms before you commit.
Close through a title company
If you choose to proceed, a title company handles the closing. Read the written terms before you decide.
Holland safety, permits, and county offices
If the structure may be unsafe or officials have restricted access, do not enter. Follow directions for the actual property from fire or building officials and utility providers. Before debris removal, repairs, or demolition, confirm with the official responsible for the address what requirements apply.
For a property within City of Holland limits, use the city’s Building and permit pages to find the relevant contact. If the address is outside city limits, contact the municipality responsible for the property. Holland-area properties can be in Allegan or Ottawa County; use the property address when following up with a county office.

Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put a contractor's written repair scope and debris-removal estimate beside what your insurer and mortgage servicer say, the cost of keeping the house, and our written sale terms. Use figures for this property rather than guessing about repair costs or an insurance payment.
The Holland calculator compares listing and as-is sale estimates using your own assumptions. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Testimonials are real, from our transactions, verified and approved by our attorneys. Each review keeps the seller's actual location; a review is not presented as a Holland transaction unless its location says Holland.
What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Seventy-two and seventy-four. We'd been happy in our house near the SC Johnson campus for twenty-eight years. But my wife's mobility isn't what it was and we needed one floor, no stairs. USA Home Buyers gave us a fair offer and closed in eight days. We're in a ranch in Caledonia now and it's exactly right.”
“Our Southside house had storm drain flooding in the basement two years running — Racine County has been working on the infrastructure but it wasn't fixed yet. The second time, we had mold in the walls and the furnace sat in standing water and died. Repair estimate was $31,000. USA Home Buyers bought it as-is, knew the local flood situation, no surprises. Closed in seven days.”
“Foreclosure in Racine County moves slow — Wisconsin is judicial, so the bank has to go through Circuit Court. Mine was already 9 months in when I finally called USA Home Buyers. They put a written offer on my West Racine bungalow in 24 hours, closed before the sheriff's sale, and I walked away with enough equity to put a deposit on an apartment in Kenosha.”
