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 a cleanout or finish repairs before discussing a sale with us.
Tell us what happened and what you know about the property. You can discuss an as-is sale while the damage is still there.
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 the Kalamazoo address, what happened, and what you know about the damage and access.
- We discuss the property and give you a written cash offer and written terms.
- Read the terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, a title company handles the closing.
You can call before gathering paperwork or arranging repairs.
Local safety, permit, and records contacts
If the structure may be unsafe, do not enter. Follow directions for the actual property from the fire or building officials responsible for the site and the utility provider. Ask the officials responsible for the address what access rules and approvals apply before starting cleanup, debris removal, repairs, or demolition.
For a property inside Kalamazoo city limits, use the City of Kalamazoo's official website to find the current contact for building-safety and permit questions. For a property elsewhere in Kalamazoo County, confirm which local jurisdiction is responsible for the address.

Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put a written repair scope and contractor estimates beside information from your insurer, mortgage details, expected holding costs, and written sale terms. Use figures for this house; a general repair estimate cannot tell you what this property needs or what an insurer will pay.
The Kalamazoo calculator lets you compare listing and as-is sale estimates with your own assumptions. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

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.”
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
