Insurance proceeds and your mortgage
We buy the house exactly as it stands, and you keep your insurance proceeds. Your insurer and mortgage servicer can have claim- or loan-specific requirements for the proceeds or damaged property. 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 you know about the fire, safe-access limits, and any insurance, mortgage, utility, or city notices you have.
- Review written terms. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You receive the offer and written terms before you commit.
- Close through a title company. The title company handles the closing process and the property-specific details.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New Hampshire real estate transfer tax. That does not pay your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
Keene safety, repairs, and permits
If the building may be unsafe, stay out and follow directions for the property from fire or building officials, the utility, and your insurer. Before entering for cleanup or beginning repair or demolition work, ask Keene officials what access, permits, or inspections apply to this property and this work.
Start with the City of Keene official website to find current municipal contacts. For Cheshire County property-records information, see the Cheshire County Registry of Deeds.
Do not assume entry, cleanup, repair, demolition, utility work, or occupancy is allowed until the responsible officials give instructions for the actual property.
Compare rebuilding, listing, and selling as-is
Rebuilding before a listing may be worth comparing if you have time and safe access. Use contractor estimates and any required approvals to weigh the work, time, and carrying costs against the likely sale proceeds after repairs. If you would rather not manage cleanup or repairs, compare an as-is offer with a realistic listing plan, including expected repairs, selling costs, and time.
The Keene calculator can help compare estimated net proceeds using your planning assumptions; its estimate is not a property-specific offer. A written offer and terms let you compare an as-is sale with the rebuilding or listing path before deciding.
