What we take on after a fire
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You can talk with us before hiring a cleanup crew or starting repair work.
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 we'll talk through the damage, the house, and timing 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. No fees.
