Sell without cleanup, repairs, or hauling debris
You can sell the house with fire damage still in place. You don't have to arrange cleanup, repairs, or debris hauling for us to buy it. Tell us what was affected and what you know about access; we can discuss the house as it stands.
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 Moscow or Latah County property address, what the fire affected, and any limits on entering the property.
- We discuss the damage and the information available. We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
- You review the written offer and written terms before you commit. If you choose to sell, the closing goes through a title company; the property file and title process shape what can be completed and when.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Local safety, permit, and property-record contacts
Do not enter a fire-damaged structure unless the responsible fire or building officials have said it is safe. Before repair, cleanup, or demolition work, check with the City of Moscow about the requirements for that property and the planned work; do not assume a permit or safe access has been cleared.
- City of Moscow official website — start here for city-specific property and permit questions.
- Latah County Auditor/Clerk/Recorder — the county office records property documents.
- Latah County Assessor — the county office maintains current ownership records and assesses property.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put a written repair or rebuilding estimate beside the written sale terms. Compare the work and cost you would take on, any access or permit requirements, the insurer's and mortgage servicer's directions, and the likely net from each path. A market-wide estimate is not a payout for your claim or a value for this particular house.
Use the Moscow calculator with your own planning assumptions to compare what you might keep after costs. It is a comparison tool, not an insurance decision or a promised sale result.
Reviews and questions
Testimonials are real, from our transactions, verified and approved by our attorneys. Each review keeps the seller's actual location; none is presented as a Moscow fire-damage sale.
