Sell it as it stands
A fire can leave damage, smoke cleanup, and debris behind. You do not have to clean out the house, arrange repairs, or haul debris before asking us to buy it. Tell us what happened and what access is safe; we review the property in its current condition.
If officials have restricted entry or work, follow their directions. Do not enter a structure that may be unsafe or begin repairs or demolition until you have checked what is safe and permitted.
You keep your insurance proceeds
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 damage, any access restrictions, and your timing. We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You see the written offer and terms before you commit, and close through a title company.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the county documentary transfer tax and any city transfer tax. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Call 888-274-5006 or share the property details in the form. You can compare the written terms before deciding.
Redding building safety and permit contacts
If the house may be unsafe, stay out and follow directions from the officials responsible for the property. For a house within Redding city limits, the City's Building and Inspection Services pages are starting points for questions about repairs, permits, and inspections. If the address is outside Redding, confirm which city or county handles it before relying on a Redding answer.
- City of Redding Building Services → for building and permit questions.
- City of Redding Inspection Services → for inspection questions.
- City of Redding contact and routing → to check which office handles an address.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Compare contractor estimates, cleanup and debris costs, permits or inspections the responsible office says apply, and the time and bills involved in rebuilding with the written sale terms. Ask your insurer and mortgage servicer how their requirements apply to your own claim and loan; do not assume a payout amount.
The Redding calculator can help compare estimated listing net proceeds with an as-is sale estimate. Change the assumptions to fit your comparison; the result is an estimate, not a property-specific offer.
