What we take on after a fire
A fire can leave damaged rooms, smoke cleanup, and debris. You do not have to clean out the house, arrange repairs, or haul debris before selling to us. We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris.
Tell us about the damage and any access restrictions. You can talk through a sale without cleaning up or restoring the house first.
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.
What happens next
Tell us about the damage, safe access, and your timing. We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
Review the written terms before you decide. Call 888-274-5006 or send the property details through the form.
