What we take on
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You do not have to clean out the house or finish restoration before selling to us.
That means you can compare a sale without first arranging cleanup, repair work, or debris removal. Tell us what you know about the damage and the property’s access; you do not need to guess at a repair budget.
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 property address, what happened, and any limits on safe access. Share the information you have; you do not need to finish cleanup or repairs first.
- We review the damage and property information, then give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
- You can read the written offer and terms before you commit. If you decide to sell to us, the closing is through a title company.
Local safety, repair, and record contacts
If the structure may be unsafe, stay out until the officials responsible for that property say it is safe. Follow fire-department and utility instructions, and check with the responsible local office before arranging entry or repair work.
- City of Marshall official website → For a property within city limits, start here to ask which city office handles its building-safety and permit questions.
- Lyon County Recorder land records → Use the county’s land-records resource for county record follow-up.
For a repair comparison, ask contractors for written scopes and estimates, and confirm any permit questions with the office responsible for the property’s location before work begins.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put the real choices side by side: written repair scopes and contractor estimates, insurance information confirmed for your claim, mortgage requirements and payoff, expected holding costs while work is underway, and the written offer terms. The right comparison depends on your property and the numbers you can verify; a general repair range does not tell you what your insurer will pay.
The Marshall calculator lets you compare estimated net proceeds from listing with an as-is cash sale using editable assumptions. It is a planning estimate, not a property-specific offer.
