Sell without cleanup, repairs, or hauling debris
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You can talk with us about the damage and access without arranging cleanup or debris removal first.
Insurance proceeds and your 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 happened and what you know about the damage and safe access.
- We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
- You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
Mortgages, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate. No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Florida documentary stamp tax and, where applicable, the Miami-Dade deed surtax. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.

Sanford's Building Division handles construction permitting and building-inspection information for the city. If you aren't sure which office covers the address, call us — we'll sort it out with you.
