What we take on after a fire
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You do not have to clear the house or finish restoration before selling to us.
You can tell us about the fire, smoke, debris, and any access limits while you compare whether to rebuild or sell. You do not have to start cleanup or repairs before asking about an as-is sale.
You keep your insurance proceeds
We buy the house exactly as it stands, and you keep your insurance proceeds. We do not guess at what a particular claim will pay.
If you have a mortgage, your mortgage servicer may have requirements related to the claim or proceeds. The servicer is the company that handles your mortgage account.
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, what happened, and what you know about safe access, insurance, or the mortgage.
- We discuss the damage and review the house as it stands.
- We give you a written offer and written terms before you commit.
- If you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company.
Local safety, records, and permit questions
Do not enter a structure that fire officials have restricted or that may be unsafe. Follow the site-specific directions from the responsible fire officials and utility providers. Before arranging cleanup, demolition, repairs, or rebuilding, ask the building official responsible for the property which permits and inspections apply. Use the office named on any property notice, and confirm which jurisdiction covers the address.
For Tuscarawas County land-record questions, contact the Tuscarawas County Recorder. The Recorder is a county records contact, not the building or permit office.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put written cleanup, repair, or rebuilding estimates beside the written terms for an as-is sale. Consider the work you want to manage, how long it may take, safe access and permit questions, and property costs you expect to keep paying while you decide. Use your own numbers; a general estimate cannot tell you what an insurer will pay.
Use the New Philadelphia home-sale net-proceeds calculator with your planning assumptions. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Howard worked at Home Savings Bank for twenty-eight years. When he retired, we talked about downsizing for two years before we actually did it. The property tax on our Canfield Road house was $3,800 a year, and with both of us on fixed incomes that added up. USA Home Buyers closed in seven days. We're in a smaller place in Boardman with half the maintenance.”
“I got behind on payments after losing my warehouse job. The lender filed in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court and I didn't know what to do. USA Home Buyers explained the Ohio judicial foreclosure timeline, made a written offer the next morning, and we closed before the case moved to summary judgment. I walked away with money instead of losing everything.”
“The house on Michigan Avenue had been in Clara's family since 1951. When the waterline under the street broke, water backed up through the foundation and we had standing water in the basement for four days. Mold, foundation damage, HVAC destroyed. We're both past seventy and we couldn't put $40,000 into a house we'd been thinking about leaving anyway. Closed in ten days.”
Fire-Damaged House Questions
Can I sell a fire-damaged house in New Philadelphia, OH?

Who keeps the insurance proceeds if I sell?
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.
Can I enter the house or start repairs after a fire?
Do not enter a structure if officials have restricted access or it may be unsafe. Follow directions from the fire officials and utility providers responsible for the property. Before arranging cleanup, demolition, repairs, or rebuilding, ask the building official with jurisdiction which permits or inspections apply.
What happens after I ask for an offer?
Tell us the address and what you know about the damage and access. We discuss the property, give you written offer terms before you commit, and close through a title company if you choose to proceed.
How should I compare rebuilding with selling as-is?
Compare written cleanup or repair estimates, the time and work involved, property costs while you decide, and the written terms for an as-is sale. Use the calculator with your own planning assumptions; it is an estimate, not a contractor quote or an insurance payout.
