What we do with a fire-damaged house
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. Tell us what happened and what you know about the property; you do not have to finish restoration before asking about a sale.
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.
Check access, insurance, and mortgage questions
Follow the instructions for this property from the officials responsible for the site and from your utility. Do not enter until they allow safe access. Keep any access restriction with the fire report, utility status, photographs taken from a safe place, insurer correspondence, and mortgage information you already have.
Your insurer can explain coverage and claim steps for your policy; your mortgage servicer can explain any loan requirements. A buyer cannot determine the insurer's decision or the amount of any payment. Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
Compare rebuilding with selling as it stands
If you are considering repairs, compare the written estimates and claim information you have with the written offer and terms. Include how much work you want to manage, how long you expect to hold the property, and the bills you expect to keep paying. You can compare those known numbers without relying on a generic repair-cost range.
Use the Pottsville home-sale calculator to compare possible sale proceeds with your own assumptions. Its estimate is a planning tool, not a property-specific offer.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers across Pennsylvania have said about working with us.
“Carpenter Technology's Pittsburgh facility had an opening and I took it. My house in Wyomissing was in good shape but with relocation timing I didn't have six months to list it. USA Home Buyers had a written offer in eighteen hours. I accepted. Closed in eleven days. I started in Pittsburgh on time.”
“I was three months behind on my mortgage on my row home in East Reading. I didn't know I could sell and still walk away with money. The process was explained in Spanish, which made a huge difference. We closed before anything got worse.”
“The Berks County judge ordered the house on Perkiomen Avenue sold as part of the decree. Me and my ex-husband hadn't been living together for two years — we just needed someone to buy it without us having to agree on every little thing. USA Home Buyers gave us a written offer, both signed through our lawyers, closed in nine days.”
