What we take on
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You do not need to clean out the house, repair fire damage, or haul debris before selling to us.

What happens next
- Tell us what was damaged and any limits on entering or viewing the property.

- You receive written terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company.
San Jose building safety and permit resources
Follow any entry restriction or safety direction issued for the property. For a City code notice or code-enforcement question, start with the City's Code Enforcement page. For a question about the City's residential resale inspection program, use its Residential Resale Inspection Program page. Ask the responsible building or fire official which repair instructions and permits apply to the specific address; these City pages do not decide that for every fire-damaged property.
The City incorporated-area and Census place layers differ at a small edge, so city-level maps do not determine an individual property's county. Confirm the parcel's county with the title or escrow professional before relying on a county office or record. The San Jose market report links to the boundary sources.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
If you are weighing repairs or rebuilding, compare actual contractor and cleanup estimates, the time involved, and any instructions from your insurer or mortgage servicer. Set those beside the written sale terms. You do not need to finish cleanup, repairs, or debris hauling before selling to us.
The calculator estimates sale proceeds using editable assumptions; it does not estimate rebuilding costs or determine insurance or mortgage requirements. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
