What we take on
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You don't have to clean out the house or finish repairs to sell to us. Tell us what happened and what you know about its condition; an adjuster report is useful if you have one.
We buy houses as-is in Morgantown, WV and Monongalia County, including houses that need work after a fire. You can ask about a sale while you are sorting out the property records and claim details.
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
- Share the property address and what you know about the damage, access limits, claim status, and timing. You can start before every report or record is in hand.
- We review the house as it stands and give you a written offer and written terms before you commit.
- If you choose to proceed, closing is handled through a title company. Review the written terms for the details of your transaction.
Morgantown safety, building, and permit contacts
Keep out of an unsafe structure and follow access instructions from the officials responsible for the property and your utility. Do not assume inspection, cleanup, repairs, demolition, or occupancy are allowed. Before starting work, ask the authority for the property's address which permits or other approvals, if any, apply to the specific work.
For an address within Morgantown, these official City of Morgantown pages are starting points. If the property is elsewhere in Monongalia County, first confirm which local authority handles that address.
Compare rebuilding with selling as it stands
Compare the repair scope and written estimates you have with the insurer and mortgage information you have, the costs of carrying the property, and written sale terms. Include how much work you want to manage and how long you expect to keep paying property expenses. If a figure is unknown, leave it open rather than guessing.
Use the Morgantown home-sale calculator to compare possible sale proceeds using your assumptions. It is a planning estimate, 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.”
