What we take on
A fire can leave repairs, smoke cleanup, and debris behind. You don't have to clean out the house, arrange repairs, or haul debris before selling to us. We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand.
Your insurance proceeds and 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
- Tell us what was damaged and any access limits or notices you know about.
- We discuss the property with you and give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
- You get written offer terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company.
Princeton building safety, repairs, and permits
If the house may be unsafe, stay out and follow directions from fire or utility officials about access.
Princeton's Planning page lists construction and demolition permits in the City and within two miles of City limits. For repair or demolition work, call the City Building Commissioner at 812-386-1333 or check the City of Princeton Planning page to ask what applies to the property and work.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Compare repair estimates, cleanup and debris costs, permits the City says apply, and the time and carrying costs of rebuilding with the written terms for an as-is sale.
The calculator lets you compare a possible listing with estimated proceeds after the costs you enter. Use your own assumptions, then compare them with the written offer terms.
