No cleanup, repairs, or debris hauling before the sale
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris.
You do not have to arrange cleaning or hauling to sell to us. Tell us what was damaged and what access is allowed; we can discuss the house as it stands.
You keep your insurance proceeds
We buy the house exactly as it stands, and you keep your insurance proceeds.

What happens next
- 1. Talk through the damage. Tell us what happened, what you can see, and what you know about access.
- 2. Review the written terms. We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.

Mount Airy and Surry County safety and permit contacts
If the structure may be unsafe, do not enter it. Follow directions from the fire department, utility providers, your insurer, and the official responsible for building safety. Before entering or arranging cleanup, repairs, or demolition, use the official city or county contacts to confirm which office handles the address and whether access limits, permits, or inspections apply. You do not need to arrange cleanup or hauling to sell to us.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
For rebuilding, compare written cleanup and repair estimates, any permits or inspections officials say apply, and the time and carrying costs. For a sale, compare our written terms with the likely costs and net from listing after repairs and selling expenses. Use actual claim information rather than guessing at an insurance payment.
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.
The Mount Airy calculator lets you compare possible sale proceeds with your own assumptions. Its result is an estimate, not a property-specific offer, insurance decision, or mortgage determination.
