Sell without cleanup, repairs, or hauling debris

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

- We discuss the damage and the property details you know.
- We give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
- You receive written offer terms before you commit. If you choose to sell to us, the closing is handled through a title company.
Local safety and permit contacts
If officials have restricted access or the structure may be unsafe, do not enter. Follow the directions for that address from the responsible fire or building officials and utility provider. Before cleanup, repairs, demolition, or reoccupancy, ask the authority responsible for the property which permits or inspections apply.
- For a property within the City of Los Angeles, start with the Los Angeles Fire Department for fire-department information and the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety for building-safety, permit, and inspection questions.
- For an unincorporated Los Angeles County property, the Los Angeles County Fire Department and County Public Works Building and Safety are starting points. If the property is in another incorporated city, contact the city office responsible for that address.
If you are unsure whether an address is within City of Los Angeles limits, use the City's Neighborhood Info address lookup rather than relying on its mailing name.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put the written repair scope and contractor estimates beside the as-is sale terms. Include the time and cost of carrying the property during work, any mortgage-servicer requirements, and the permits or inspections the responsible office says apply. Confirm claim questions with your insurer rather than guessing at a payout.
The calculator lets you compare estimated sale proceeds using editable assumptions. Use it alongside the actual repair information and written terms you have; it is a planning comparison, not a property-specific offer.
