What we take on
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. After a fire, you can sell without arranging cleanup, repairs, or debris hauling first.
Tell us what happened and what you know about the damage and access. You can talk about selling while the fire damage and debris are still there.
Insurance proceeds and your mortgage
We buy the house exactly as it stands, and you keep your insurance proceeds when you sell to us. 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 what you know about the damage and access. We discuss the property with you and give you a written cash offer and written 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 and permit contacts
If the house may be unsafe or officials have restricted access, stay out and follow instructions from fire or building officials and utility providers.
The City of Kenton Forms & Permits portal lists building-permit, demolition, and zoning applications. If the property is inside Kenton, contact the City about permits for planned work; outside city limits, contact the local building office. You can talk with us about selling before cleanup or repairs.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Compare repair and cleanup costs, time to rebuild, and ongoing house costs with the written terms for selling as-is.
The Kenton home-sale calculator lets you compare estimated proceeds using your own assumptions. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
