Sell without cleanup, repairs, or hauling debris
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You do not need to arrange a cleanout or restore the house before selling to us. Tell us what was damaged and what you know about access; we can discuss the property as it is.
The debris and damage can still be there when we review the house. You do not have to take on that work first just to ask about a sale.
Insurance proceeds and your mortgage
We buy the house exactly as it stands, and you keep your insurance proceeds.
Your insurer can explain how your claim and policy apply. Your mortgage servicer can explain any requirements tied to your mortgage. This sale does not determine what your insurer will pay.
Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
What happens next
- Tell us the Lexington or Fayette County address, what happened, what damage you know about, and any limits on access. You can call before gathering paperwork.
- We discuss the damage and the property information with you, then give you written cash-offer terms within 24 hours.
- You review the written offer and terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, a title company handles closing; the property and transaction shape what can be completed and when.
Building safety, repairs, and permits in Fayette County
If the house may be unsafe, do not enter until the officials responsible for that property say it is safe. Follow fire, building, and utility directions. Before cleanup, repairs, or demolition, ask the office responsible for the address whether access restrictions, permits, or inspections apply; do not assume the work or entry has been cleared.
Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government’s Building Permits page provides information about homeowner permits and residential construction. Code Enforcement is a local starting point for property-maintenance ordinance questions in Fayette County.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put a written repair scope and contractor estimate beside your insurer’s claim information, any mortgage requirements, the costs of holding the house, and the written sale terms. Use figures for this property instead of guessing at repair costs or an insurance payment.
The Lexington calculator can help compare possible sale proceeds using its planning assumptions. Change the inputs to fit what you know, and treat the result as an estimate—not an insurer’s decision, contractor quote, or property-specific offer.
