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 clear the house or arrange restoration before selling to us. We can talk through the damage and access without you entering an unsafe property.
Insurance proceeds and your 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.
Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from the sale's closing costs.
What happens next
- We talk through the damage, access, and your timing with you.
- We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
- 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 fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us.
Meridian building safety and permit help
If officials have said the house is unsafe or restricted entry, stay out and follow their directions. For houses within Meridian city limits, the City Building & Inspection Division lists permit and inspection forms. Call 601-485-1900 or visit 723 23rd Avenue about permits or inspections for planned work. If you're not sure which office covers the house, call us — we'll sort it out with you.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
For rebuilding, compare repair, cleanup and debris costs, permit steps, and the time and carrying costs while the work is underway. For a sale, compare the written terms with the estimated net—not just the sale price.
The calculator can help you compare estimated sale proceeds and selling costs using your own figures.
