What we take on
We buy the house in its current condition. You don't need to clean the property, repair fire or smoke damage, or haul away debris to sell to us.
Keep safety first. Follow any instructions from the fire department or other officials about entering the property. If access is restricted or the structure is unsafe, do not enter; ask the responsible officials what access is allowed.
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 about the fire damage and any limits on access. You can call or use the form to start the conversation.
- We discuss the property and provide a written offer and written terms before you commit.
- If you choose to proceed, the closing takes place through a title company.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes.
This does not pay your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
Local help in Quincy and Adams County
For Quincy property-maintenance and property-standard questions, start with the City's Inspections Department. Ask the City what approvals or permits apply to the specific property and work before starting repairs or removal.
For a deed or county land-record question, contact the Adams County Recorder of Deeds. The county office is a records contact; ask it about its current procedures for your matter.
Do not enter a fire-damaged structure if officials have restricted access or marked it unsafe. Confirm the access instructions for the property with the responsible officials.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Before choosing, compare a realistic repair and cleanup estimate, time and carrying costs, any local approvals, and the amount you might net from a later listing. Set those against the written offer and terms for an as-is sale. Confirm insurance and mortgage requirements with the professionals handling your claim and loan.
The Quincy calculator compares a possible listing net with an as-is sale estimate using the assumptions entered. It is a planning estimate, not an offer for your property.

Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“My husband retired from the Illinois State Library after thirty-one years. We'd talked about moving to Florida for years. The house in North Glenwood was fine — just bigger than we needed. USA Home Buyers gave us a fair offer. We closed in eight days and were in Sarasota before the weather turned cold.”
“I owned a rental on Maywood Drive for six years. Fine until the tenant stopped paying and started subletting to three other people I had never approved. Code enforcement showed up twice. USA Home Buyers bought it with the tenants still inside. I didn't have to do a single eviction filing. Nine days from first call to closing.”
“I'm a state employee — when my position got transferred to Chicago, I had about six weeks to sort out my house on the south side of Springfield before I needed to be up there. I didn't have time for showings, inspections, or waiting on a buyer's mortgage. USA Home Buyers gave me a written offer within 24 hours and we closed in ten days.”
