What we take on after a fire
You do not have to clean the house, repair fire damage, or haul away debris before selling to us. We buy the house in its current condition, so you can discuss an as-is sale without first arranging a restoration project.
Tell us what you know about the damage, what is still in the house, and whether anyone has set limits on entering the property. No cleanup or repair work is required to ask about a sale.
Insurance proceeds and your mortgage
We buy the house exactly as it stands, and you keep your insurance proceeds.
Your insurer can explain what your policy covers and pays. Your mortgage servicer can explain any requirements tied to your loan. Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
What happens next
- 1. Tell us about the house. Share the address, what happened, and any access limits or fire-related instructions you know about.
- 2. Discuss the damage and your options. We review the information you have and give you a written cash offer in 24 hours.
- 3. Read the terms before deciding. You receive written offer terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company.

Compare rebuilding with selling as-is

The Muncie home-sale net proceeds calculator compares estimated listing net with an as-is cash-sale estimate. Adjust the assumptions, then compare the estimates with the written terms you receive; the calculator is a planning tool, not a property-specific offer.

Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“I retired from Carle Hospital after thirty-three years as a nurse and decided to move to Arizona to be near my son. My house in Lincolnwood had been good to me but it needed some work I wasn't willing to do. USA Home Buyers made an offer the day after we spoke. I was in Tucson six weeks later.”
“I'd been renting to UIUC students in Old West Urbana for eleven years. Every August it was the same: new tenants, new damage, new headaches. Last summer I decided I was done. USA Home Buyers bought the place tenant-occupied. Closed in twelve days. I'm out of the landlord business.”
