Sell without cleanup, repairs, or hauling debris
A fire can leave a house damaged, smoky, and unsafe to enter. We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You do not need to restore or empty the property before selling to us.
Tell us what you know about the damage and any access limits. Officials' safety directions still apply; you do not need to enter an unsafe home to ask about an offer.
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.
The sale does not determine what your policy covers or how a claim is handled. Ask your insurer and mortgage servicer how their requirements apply to your property before making decisions about the claim or proceeds.
What happens next
- Tell us the Platteville or Grant County address, what happened, and any access limits you have been given.
- We discuss the property and the fire-related information you have available; you do not need to clean or repair it first.
- You receive a written cash offer and written terms before you commit. If you choose to sell, closing is through a title company.
Local safety, repair, and record contacts
If the house may be unsafe, follow the fire department's and other responsible officials' directions and do not enter until they say access is allowed. Before repairs, demolition, or debris removal, ask the building official with jurisdiction over that address whether an inspection, permit, or other approval is needed. Do not assume work or re-entry is allowed.
For county deed-record questions, start with the Grant County Register of Deeds. The building official, insurer, and mortgage servicer can answer questions about their own requirements for the property and claim.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Rebuilding may involve repair estimates, a confirmed scope of work, safe access, permits or inspections, insurance and mortgage requirements, and the time and carrying costs while work is underway. A sale as-is avoids preparing the house for our purchase, but the written offer and terms are specific to the property. Compare what you would keep after costs, not just a repair estimate or asking price.
Use the calculator to compare estimated sale proceeds with editable assumptions for repairs, cleanup, and holding costs. It is a planning comparison, not an insurance payout estimate or property-specific offer.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“After the Chrysler supplier closed, I was out of work for fourteen months and never really caught back up. The mortgage servicer filed in Winnebago County and I didn't know what to do. USA Home Buyers explained where the Illinois judicial timeline was, gave me a written offer in forty-eight hours, and we closed in twelve days before judgment. I came out with $28,000.”
“The sewer line backed up into the basement twice in two years — the city said it was a main line issue they were working on. Second time we had four inches of sewage in the basement and the HVAC system was a complete loss. USA Home Buyers came out two days after I called. Fair number, closed in fourteen days.”
“I'd worked at the Chrysler supplier in Belvidere for nineteen years when the plant shut down. Then a job offer came in from a manufacturer in Indianapolis — good opportunity, but I had four weeks to figure out the house. USA Home Buyers gave me a real number the next day. We closed in ten days. I made the Indianapolis start date with a week to spare.”
