What we take on
The fire damage and debris can stay in place. You do not have to arrange cleanup, repairs, or hauling before selling to us. Tell us what remains so we can discuss the property as it stands.
You keep your insurance proceeds
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 property address, what damage you know about, and any limits on safe access.

- You receive the written offer and terms before deciding. If you choose to sell, a title company handles the closing.
Safety, repairs, and local permit questions
Do not enter a structure that may be unsafe or if officials have restricted access. Follow directions from the fire or building officials, utility providers, and your insurer. Before cleanup, repairs, demolition, or rebuilding, ask the officials responsible for the actual address whether access limits, permits, or inspections apply.
For City of Marquette addresses, the City code-enforcement page is a starting point for code concerns; its planning and zoning pages cover those questions. Outside City limits, contact the actual local unit; Marquette County lists its municipalities separately.

Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put a written repair or rebuilding scope beside the written sale terms. Consider cleanup and debris costs, any safety or permit steps officials say apply, the time and cost of keeping the property, and your insurer's and mortgage servicer's instructions. We buy the house as it stands, so you do not have to complete repairs or cleanup before selling to us.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate amounts.
Use the calculator to compare estimated proceeds from a listing with an as-is sale using your own planning assumptions. It does not set your insurance proceeds or the scope of repair work.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
