What we take on after a fire
Burned materials, smoke damage, and debris can stay. You do not have to restore the house, arrange cleanup, or haul debris before selling to us.
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 what happened and when you hope to move forward. We will talk through the damage with you.
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Indiana sales disclosure fee. No fees.
Munster safety, repair, and permit help
If fire or building officials have said the house is unsafe or restricted access, stay out and follow their directions. For construction complaints or a deteriorated property, contact Munster Community Development at (219) 836-6990. The Town also posts inspection information for permitted construction work.
Indiana sales disclosure fee
The fee is usually $20, and some transfers are exempt. The state form goes to the Lake County Auditor for property-tax records. Read Indiana's property-transfer reporting law or visit the Lake County Auditor. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Indiana sales disclosure fee.
