Tell us what happened and what you know about the property.
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 can discuss a sale before arranging cleanup, repairs, or a debris haul; you do not have to finish a restoration project for us first.
Tell us what was damaged and what access limits you know about. You can compare written sale terms with the work, cost, and time involved in rebuilding or preparing the house for a listing.
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.
Your insurer can explain the claim process for your policy, and your mortgage servicer can explain requirements under your loan. Share any instructions that affect access or closing when we discuss the property.
What happens next
- Tell us the address, what happened, and any limits on entering the property.
- We discuss the damage and the information you have, including any insurer or mortgage-servicer instructions you want us to know about.
- We give you a written offer and written terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company.
Marion fire safety, building, and permit questions
Do not enter a fire-damaged structure if it may be unsafe or access is restricted. Follow directions from fire responders, building officials, and the utility responsible for the property. Before cleanup, repairs, or demolition, ask the officials responsible for that address whether permits or other steps apply. For immediate danger, call 911.
- For a property inside Marion city, start with the City of Marion official website to find the right city contact for building-safety or permit questions. If the property is elsewhere in Marion County, confirm the responsible local office for its address.
- For county recording questions, the Marion County Recorder is the county records office.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
If you are weighing a rebuild, compare written repair estimates, cleanup and debris-hauling costs, permit questions, and the time and property costs during the work with the written terms for an as-is sale. Ask your insurer and mortgage servicer about the requirements that apply to your own claim and loan.
The Marion home-sale net proceeds calculator compares an estimated listing net with an as-is cash-sale estimate using your assumptions. It is a planning comparison, not a repair estimate or a property-specific offer.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Howard worked at Home Savings Bank for twenty-eight years. When he retired, we talked about downsizing for two years before we actually did it. The property tax on our Canfield Road house was $3,800 a year, and with both of us on fixed incomes that added up. USA Home Buyers closed in seven days. We're in a smaller place in Boardman with half the maintenance.”
“I got behind on payments after losing my warehouse job. The lender filed in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court and I didn't know what to do. USA Home Buyers explained the Ohio judicial foreclosure timeline, made a written offer the next morning, and we closed before the case moved to summary judgment. I walked away with money instead of losing everything.”
“The house on Michigan Avenue had been in Clara's family since 1951. When the waterline under the street broke, water backed up through the foundation and we had standing water in the basement for four days. Mold, foundation damage, HVAC destroyed. We're both past seventy and we couldn't put $40,000 into a house we'd been thinking about leaving anyway. Closed in ten days.”
