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 clean the house, fix the damage, or remove debris before asking us about a sale. Tell us what you know about the property; do not enter an unsafe or restricted structure to gather details.
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 about the damage
Share the address, what was damaged, and any limits on safe access. Only share details you can get without entering an unsafe property.
Review written terms
We give you a written cash offer and written terms before you commit. Read them and compare your options before deciding.
Close through a title company
If you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company. The property file and title process determine what can be completed and when.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Nebraska's documentary stamp tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Fire safety and local property records
If fire or building officials have restricted access, or the structure may be unsafe, stay out and follow their directions. Before cleanup, repairs, or demolition, ask the building official responsible for the property's address what access and requirements apply to the planned work.
For Douglas County parcel questions, contact the Douglas County Assessor at 402-444-7457. The Nebraska Department of Revenue's county assessor and parcel-search directory lists county assessor and tax-office contacts. Check any parcel or tax balance directly with the county for the actual property.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put a written repair or rebuilding estimate beside the written sale terms. Compare the work and cost you would take on, time and carrying costs, safe access and permit requirements for the actual property, and your insurer's and mortgage servicer's directions. Do not guess at an insurance payment.
The calculator can help compare a possible listing with what you might keep after costs, using planning assumptions you can adjust. Its result is an estimate, not a rebuilding estimate or an insurance decision.
