What we take on
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris.
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
- Call or send us the address and tell us what happened.
- We talk through the damage and safe access, then give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
- You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
