What we take on after a fire
You can ask about selling the house as it stands. You do not have to clean it out, arrange repairs, or haul away fire debris before selling to us. That means you can compare an as-is sale without first taking on a cleanup or restoration project.
Your insurance proceeds and 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
1. Talk through the damage
Tell us what happened and what access limits or official instructions you know about.
2. Review written terms
We discuss the property and give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You receive written offer terms before you commit.
3. Close through a title company
If you choose to sell, closing is through a title company.
Presque Isle safety, repair, and permit contacts
If the house may be unsafe or officials have restricted entry, stay out and follow directions for that property. Before repair or debris work, ask the City Code Office what permits or inspections apply to the address and the work you plan. The City lists a Certificate of Occupancy permit item; that listing alone does not establish that a sale requires a certificate or inspection.
- Presque Isle Code Office — the City page lists Code Enforcement Officer Jason Perry at (207) 764-2570 for code and land-use questions.
- City Certificate of Occupancy permit information — a permit-information route, not a determination that every sale requires a certificate or inspection.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put contractor estimates, cleanup and debris costs, any permits the City says apply, and the time and carrying costs of rebuilding beside the written terms for an as-is sale. Ask your insurer and mortgage servicer how their requirements apply to your claim and loan; do not assume a particular insurance payout.
The calculator can help you compare possible proceeds from a listing with the costs you enter. Use your own assumptions for the property, repairs, and carrying costs; the result is an estimate, not a property-specific offer.
