What we take on after a fire
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You can sell without cleaning out the house, arranging repairs, or hauling away damaged materials.
Your insurance proceeds and mortgage
We buy the house exactly as it stands, and you keep your insurance proceeds. If you still have a mortgage, your lender may have a say in how that check is used — we'll walk through it with you.
What happens next
Tell us what happened and what you know about the house. We talk through the damage with you. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.
Safety and permit questions
If fire or building officials have said the house is unsafe or restricted entry, stay out and follow their instructions. Ask the official who restricted access when it is safe to go back inside.
For permit questions, the right local office depends on the property address. St. Louis County's municipalities information is a place to start. Not sure? Call us — we'll sort it out with you.
