What we take on when we buy the house as-is
You do not have to clean the house, repair fire damage, or haul away debris before selling to us. Tell us what was damaged and what remains; we buy the property in its current condition.
If the building has been marked unsafe or officials have limited entry, follow their instructions rather than going inside to sort or photograph belongings.
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 about the fire damage, safe access, and any claim or mortgage questions you are sorting out.
- We review the property and give you a written cash offer and written terms before you commit.
- If you choose to proceed, a title company handles the closing.
You can ask about selling before cleanup or repairs are finished. We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Local safety and permit questions
Chippewa County's Building Department publishes building-permit and construction-inspection information. Confirm whether the County or City handles the actual Sault Ste. Marie property address before relying on a permit or inspection route. For a building marked unsafe or with restricted access, follow the responsible officials' directions and do not enter until you have safe-access instructions.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
When you compare a rebuild or a traditional listing with an as-is sale, look beyond the expected sale price. Consider repair and debris-removal estimates, the time needed to get work done, insurance and mortgage requirements, utilities, ongoing carrying costs, and expected listing costs. Compare the written terms with what you might actually keep after those expenses.
The Sault Ste. Marie calculator lets you adjust planning assumptions to compare possible net proceeds. It is an estimate, not an offer or a title-company closing statement.
