What we take on
A fire can leave smoke cleanup, damaged materials, and debris to deal with. You do not have to clean out the house, arrange repairs, or haul debris before asking us to buy it. We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand.
If officials or utility personnel have restricted access, follow their directions. Do not enter a structure that may be unsafe.
Your insurance proceeds and 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 what was damaged and what access limits, notices, or timing concerns you know about.
- We discuss the property with you and give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
- You receive written offer terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Laredo building safety, repairs, and permits
If fire or building officials have restricted entry, follow their directions. Do not enter a structure that may be unsafe. Before cleanup or repair work, ask what access, permits, or inspections apply to this address and the work planned.
For city building and development questions, use the City of Laredo Building Development Services page. Ask what requirements apply to your property; this contact route does not mean every fire-damaged house needs the same permit.
For a city notice or code-enforcement question, contact the City of Laredo Code Enforcement.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put cleanup and debris estimates, contractor repair estimates, any permits officials say apply, and the time and bills you would carry during rebuilding beside the written terms for an as-is sale. Ask your insurer and mortgage servicer how their requirements apply to your claim and loan; do not assume a particular insurance payout.
The calculator lets you compare estimated proceeds from listing with an as-is sale using assumptions you can change. Include repair and cleanout costs, selling costs, and the bills you would carry while waiting. It is a planning estimate, not a property-specific offer.
