Sell without cleanup, repairs, or hauling debris
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can ask us to buy the house with fire damage and debris still there; you do not have to arrange a cleanout or restore it first.
Your insurance proceeds and mortgage requirements
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
- Tell us what happened, what damage you know about, and any limits on safe access.
- We discuss the property 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.
Building safety, repairs, and permits

Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Compare the written sale terms with the cost and time of rebuilding, including repairs and debris removal. A contractor's repair estimate can help you judge what rebuilding may take.
Use the home-sale net proceeds calculator to compare sale estimates using your assumptions.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
