What we take on
You do not have to clean the house, repair fire damage, or haul away debris to sell it to us. We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand. That means you can ask about a sale without first taking on a cleanup or restoration project for the buyer.
When you contact us, tell us what you know about the damage and whether officials have set limits on entering the property. Do not enter a house that is unsafe or restricted to gather information.
Insurance proceeds and mortgage requirements
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
- Share the Kendallville address and what you know about the fire, the house, and safe access. You can call or use the form.
- We discuss the property details and give you a written offer and written terms before you commit.
- If you choose to proceed, the sale closes through a title company.
Local help for a fire-damaged property
Follow any access directions issued for the property. Do not enter a structure marked unsafe or restricted. Before cleanup or repairs, ask the official responsible for that address whether the work and access are allowed. For a Kendallville address, the City of Kendallville's official site is a starting point to find the right contact for building safety or permit questions.
Noble County's contact page lists the Recorder, Assessor, Auditor, and Treasurer. Use the county directory for property-record, deed, and tax-office questions; for building safety or repair instructions, follow the contact on the property notice or ask the responsible local government for the address.
Compare rebuilding with selling as it stands
Compare the repair scope and written estimates you have with the written sale terms. Also consider how much work you want to manage, your insurance and mortgage information, and the property costs you expect to keep paying while you decide. Do not rely on a general repair range as a quote for this house.
Use the Kendallville home-sale calculator with your own planning assumptions to compare a listing path with an as-is sale. It is an estimate, not an offer for this property.
Questions and contact
