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 have to clear the property or finish restoration before asking us about a sale.
Smoke, fire, and water damage can leave a long cleanup and repair list. Tell us what you know; we review the house in its current condition. Do not enter a structure that officials have restricted or that may be unsafe.
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 address, what happened, and any access limits you know about.
- We discuss the damage with you and review the house as it stands.
- We give you a written offer and written terms before you commit; closing is through a title company if you choose to proceed.

Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put written cleanup, repair, and rebuilding estimates beside a written offer and its terms. Consider the time and property costs of doing the work, how much of the process you want to manage, and the house's current condition. Ask your insurer and mortgage servicer how the claim and loan requirements apply to your situation; do not assume a particular payout.
Use the Plattsburgh home-sale net proceeds calculator with your own planning assumptions. Its estimate is not an insurance payout or a contractor estimate.
