What we take on
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You don't have to arrange a cleanout or finish repairs before discussing a sale with us.
Tell us what happened and what you know about the property. You can discuss an as-is sale while the damage is still there.
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 what you know about the damage and access.
- We review the property information and give you a written cash offer and written terms.
- Read the terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, a title company handles the closing.
Call or use the form now; you do not have to finish repairs or gather every record first.
Local safety and permit help
If the house may be unsafe or officials have restricted access, do not enter. Follow directions for the actual address from fire or building officials and the utility provider. Before cleaning, hauling debris, or making repairs, ask the officials responsible for that address what access rules or permits apply to the planned work.
For a property within Pocatello city limits, the City Building Department handles construction-permit, code, and dangerous-building questions. Pocatello addresses can fall in Bannock or Power County, so verify the actual parcel and the appropriate county office rather than relying on the city boundary alone.

Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put a written repair scope, contractor estimates, debris removal, expected holding costs, information from your insurer and mortgage servicer, and written sale terms side by side. Use figures for this house; a general repair estimate cannot tell you what this property needs or what an insurer will pay.
Use the Pocatello net-proceeds calculator to compare possible sale outcomes with your own planning assumptions. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
