Sell without cleanup, repairs, or hauling debris
We buy the house exactly as it stands. You do not have to repair it, clean it, or haul away fire debris to sell to us. Tell us what you know about the damage and any limits on safe access so we can discuss the property in its current condition.
You can talk with us without going inside. Keep any fire or access notices and the records you already have; do not enter an area officials have restricted or that may be unsafe.
You keep your insurance proceeds
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 what happened, the property address, what you know about access, and the timing you have in mind.
- We discuss the damage with you and provide a written offer and written terms before you commit.
- If you decide to proceed, a title company handles the closing. Review the written terms and property records as you consider your next step.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
Local help for safety and property records
Do not enter a property that is unsafe or subject to an access restriction. Follow directions from the officials responsible for the actual property and your utility provider. Before cleanup, repairs, debris removal, or demolition, confirm with the responsible office whether the access and work are allowed at that address; use the office named on any notice you received.
For local land-records follow-up, contact the Jackson County Register of Deeds Office.
If a property notice names a building-safety, repair, or permit office, use that contact for the address-specific question. The Register of Deeds is a land-records contact, not the building-safety office.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
If you are considering rebuilding, compare written repair and cleanup estimates and the claim and mortgage information you have with the written sale terms. Include the work you want to take on and the costs you expect to keep paying while you decide. Do not rely on a guessed repair budget or insurance payout.
Use the Jackson home-sale net-proceeds calculator with your own planning assumptions as one comparison point. It is an estimate, not a fire-damage assessment, contractor quote, or written offer.
