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 arrange repairs, cleaning, or debris removal before you ask about selling to us.
Tell us what happened and what you know about the damage and access. You can discuss a sale before arranging restoration or gathering every record.
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 address and what you know about the fire damage and access.
- We discuss the property and give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
- Read the written offer and terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, a title company handles closing.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes.
Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Local safety, repair, and permit contacts
Do not enter a structure that may be unsafe or where officials have restricted access. Follow directions for the actual property from fire officials, building officials, the utility, and your insurer. Before cleanup, repairs, or demolition, ask the office responsible for the address whether access, permits, or inspections apply.
For a City of Mount Pleasant address, the City's Code Enforcement page is a starting point for property-maintenance questions, and the Neighborhood Resource Unit page describes housing and commercial inspections. If the address is outside City limits, verify which municipality and local authority cover it; a nearby place name or mailing address alone does not establish jurisdiction.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put written repair estimates beside the information from your insurer and mortgage servicer, ongoing property costs, and the written sale terms. Compare actual figures for this house rather than guessing at an insurance payment or repair total.
The calculator gives an estimate using editable planning assumptions. Use it as one comparison input alongside the property's repair estimates and written sale terms.
