You don't have to clean up or repair first
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 make the house presentable before selling to us. Tell us what was damaged and whether access is restricted.
You keep your insurance proceeds
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 about the damage, the property's access limits, and the questions you have. We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You get written offer terms before you commit; if you choose to sell to us, closing is through a title company.
Local safety and permit questions
Do not enter until the officials responsible for the property say it is safe. For a Lawrence address, contact the City's Planning & Development Services to ask what permits or inspections apply before repairs, rebuilding, or demolition. Tell us if access is limited.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Compare the written offer with your best estimates for repair and cleanup work, holding costs, and the costs of listing. A possible sale price is not the same as what you would keep after costs. Use the calculator with your own assumptions to compare the paths.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
