What we take on after a fire
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You can leave damaged materials in place instead of arranging a cleanout or restoration before the sale.
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 we'll talk through the damage and timing with you. 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.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Maryland's state transfer tax, recordation tax and any applicable county transfer tax. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.
Howard County safety and code help
Ilchester is in Howard County. If fire or building officials have told you to stay out, stay out and follow their directions. Howard County's Inspections & Enforcement Division handles local safety-inspection questions, and County Code Enforcement handles local code complaints.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
If you're weighing repairs, compare the written sale terms with the cost of cleanup, repairs or demolition and the time that work may take. Include the cost of carrying the house while it is empty.
Use your own numbers to compare possible sale proceeds with rebuilding costs.
