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 need to arrange cleanup, make repairs, or haul debris before selling to us.
Tell us what was damaged, what remains in the house, and whether officials or utilities have limited access. We can discuss the property before you decide what to do with the structure or its contents.
Insurance proceeds and your mortgage
When we buy the house exactly as it stands, 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
- Talk through the damage. Share the property address, what happened, and any limits on safe access. You can start with what you know.
- Review written terms. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can review the written offer and terms before you commit.
- Close through a title company. If you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company.
Oxford safety, code, and permit contacts
After a fire, stay out until fire or building officials say it is safe to enter. For a house inside Oxford city limits, the City lists Planning & Zoning for code-enforcement and minimum-housing inquiries; its permits and applications page lists permit information.

Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
If you rebuild, compare the repair, debris-removal, permit, and carrying costs with the written sale terms.
The Oxford home-sale net-proceeds calculator can help compare a listing estimate after costs with a written offer using your own planning assumptions.
