What we take on
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You do not have to arrange a cleanout or finish repairs before discussing a sale with us.
Tell us what happened and what you know about the property. You can ask about an as-is sale while the damage is still there; you do not need to clear the house first.
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 the Richmond address, what happened, and what you know about the damage and access.
- We review the property information and give you a written cash offer and written terms.
- Read the terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, a title company handles the closing.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
Richmond safety, permit, and property-record contacts
If the structure may be unsafe or access is restricted, do not enter or start work. Follow directions for the actual property from the fire or building officials responsible for the site and the utility provider. Before cleanup, debris removal, repairs, or demolition, ask the officials responsible for that address what access rules and approvals apply.
For a property inside Richmond city limits, use the City’s official website to find current contacts for building-safety and permit questions. The Wayne County Recorder is the county office for recording-related contact questions.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put a written repair scope and contractor estimates beside the information from your insurer, mortgage payoff, expected holding costs, and written sale terms. Include the time and work involved in safe access, cleanup, and any repairs or approvals that apply to the property. Use figures for this house; do not guess at a repair bill or insurance payment.
The Richmond calculator lets you compare listing and as-is sale estimates using your own assumptions. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
