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 a cleanout, finish repairs, or haul debris before discussing a sale with us. Tell us what happened and what you know about the property; the damage can still be there while we discuss an as-is sale.
If officials have restricted entry, follow their directions. You can call or send the property address before arranging cleanup or repairs.
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 New Ulm address, what happened, and what you know about the damage and access.
- We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
- Review the written offer and written terms before you commit; a title company handles closing.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
Local safety, permit, and property-record contacts
If there is an active emergency, call 911. If the structure may be unsafe or officials have restricted access, stay out and follow their directions. Before entering, cleaning up, removing debris, or starting repairs, ask the officials responsible for the address what access and approvals apply. For a repair estimate, have a qualified contractor assess the property only when access is allowed.
For a New Ulm property, start with the City of New Ulm's official website to find the current contact for property-specific building-safety, fire-safety, or permit questions. Brown County's Recorder's Office is a starting point for real-property records; it does not determine whether a damaged structure is safe or whether repairs are permitted.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put a written repair scope and contractor estimates beside the information from your insurer and mortgage servicer, expected holding costs, and written sale terms. Use figures for this house; do not guess at repair costs or a particular insurance payment.
The New Ulm calculator compares listing and as-is sale estimates using your assumptions. Add your own repair and timing estimates to compare rebuilding with selling. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
