What we take on
You can discuss a sale while the fire damage and debris are still there. You do not have to arrange cleanup, repairs, or debris hauling for us to buy the house. Tell us what was affected and what you know about access; we review the property as it stands.
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 what the fire damaged, what access is safe, and any property details you already have.
- We discuss the damage and review the information you share. We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
- You get written offer terms before you commit. If you choose to sell, a title company handles the closing.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put a written repair or rebuilding scope and cleanup costs beside the written sale terms. Consider what officials say about safe access and permits, what your insurer and mortgage servicer require, and the time and cost of holding the property while work is underway. Use the figures for your property rather than guessing at an insurance payment.
The Longview calculator lets you compare estimated proceeds with your own planning assumptions. Its result is an estimate, not a property-specific offer.
