What we take on
You do not have to clean out the house, arrange repairs, or haul fire-damaged debris before selling to us. We buy the house as it stands, so you can compare an as-is sale without taking on that work first.
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris.
Your insurance proceeds and mortgage
We buy the house exactly as it stands, and you keep your insurance proceeds.
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
- We talk with you about the fire damage and the property.
- You receive a written offer and terms before you commit.
- If you choose to move forward, 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 remain separate.

Layton City Building Division ↗Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Compare the repair, cleanup, and debris costs you expect, along with the time and carrying costs of rebuilding, against the written terms for an as-is sale. Your insurer and mortgage servicer can explain how their requirements apply to your own claim and loan; do not assume a particular insurance payout.
Use the calculator to compare estimated sale proceeds with assumptions you can change. Its result is an estimate, not a property-specific offer or a prediction of insurance proceeds.
