What we take on after a fire
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You don't have to finish restoration or haul fire debris before selling the house to us.
Tell us what you know about the damage and the property's condition. We review the house as it stands, including cleanup and repair needs.
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 happened, and any access limits or notices you know about.
- We discuss the damage and review the house as it stands.
- We give you written terms before you commit; if you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. This does not include your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
Local safety, permits, and property records
Do not enter a structure that officials have restricted or that may be unsafe. Before entering, removing debris, making repairs, or starting permit work, follow the directions from the fire or building official responsible for the property. For a home within Mankato city limits, start with the City of Mankato official information page and confirm which official handles that address. Use the instructions on the property's notice if one was issued.
Mankato addresses can fall in Blue Earth, Le Sueur, or Nicollet County. Check the county for the property address; these Recorder offices handle real-estate recordings, not fire-safety or permit approvals.

Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put written cleanup, repair, or rebuilding estimates beside a written offer and its terms. Consider the work you want to manage, how long it may take, and the property costs you expect while deciding. Check any insurer, mortgage-servicer, or local-official requirements that apply to the actual property.
Use the Mankato home-sale net proceeds calculator with your own planning assumptions. It estimates sale proceeds; it is not an insurance payout or a contractor quote.
