Sell without cleaning up or repairing first
You can ask us to buy the house with fire damage still in place. You do not need to repair the damage, clean the house, or haul debris before selling to us. Tell us what happened and what you know about the property; we can discuss it before you arrange restoration work.
An as-is sale does not change instructions about entering the property or doing work there. Follow any access restrictions, and do not enter a structure that is unsafe.
Insurance proceeds and your 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 the address, what was damaged, any access restrictions, and what you know about the insurance claim or mortgage. Share only information you can safely access.
- We discuss the damage and the property in its current condition, then give you a written cash offer and written terms before you commit.
- If you choose to sell, closing is handled through a title company.
Logansport building safety and permit questions
For a property inside Logansport city limits, ask the City Building Commissioner what permits or safety instructions apply to that address before repairs, debris removal, or demolition. The city also lists a Fire Department contact for fire-scene questions. For a property elsewhere in Cass County, check with the local officials responsible for that address rather than assuming city requirements apply.
Do not enter if officials have restricted access or the structure is unsafe. Follow directions from the responsible fire and building officials, utility provider, and insurer before entering or starting work.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
If you are considering rebuilding, compare repair estimates, what your insurer and mortgage servicer tell you, any safety or permit instructions for the address, and the cost of keeping the house while work is underway. Weigh those against the written cash offer and terms, along with how much repair work you want to manage.
The Logansport home-sale net proceeds calculator lets you compare estimated sale proceeds using your assumptions. Use it for planning; it is not a written offer for your property.
Testimonials are real, from our transactions, verified and approved by our attorneys. Each review keeps its stated location with the story.
What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“I retired from Carle Hospital after thirty-three years as a nurse and decided to move to Arizona to be near my son. My house in Lincolnwood had been good to me but it needed some work I wasn't willing to do. USA Home Buyers made an offer the day after we spoke. I was in Tucson six weeks later.”
“I'd been renting to UIUC students in Old West Urbana for eleven years. Every August it was the same: new tenants, new damage, new headaches. Last summer I decided I was done. USA Home Buyers bought the place tenant-occupied. Closed in twelve days. I'm out of the landlord business.”
“Tornado touched down two blocks away in June and our fence, garage, and back half of the roof were destroyed. Insurance took three weeks to send someone. USA Home Buyers was there in two days, made a fair cash offer accounting for the damage, and closed while we were still arguing with the insurance adjuster. The settlement check was mine to keep.”
