What we take on
You can ask about selling without cleaning the house, arranging repairs, or hauling away fire debris first. We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. Tell us what you know about the damage and any limits on entering the property.
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.

Shawano safety and permit contacts
Follow directions from the fire or building officials and utility responsible for the property. If you do not know whether the structure is safe, stay out and ask those officials before entering or moving debris.
For a property within the City of Shawano, the City says owners and contractors should contact Building Inspection before listed construction or remodeling work; permits apply to certain work. Ask the City about the actual address and planned repairs before starting. City Community Development lists Planning & Zoning, Building Inspection, and Code Enforcement at 127 S. Sawyer Street; call 715-526-6138. Shawano County lists the City and other municipalities separately, so a county address outside City limits may have a different local contact.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put a written repair scope and estimates beside information from your insurer, mortgage requirements, any permit or access directions, holding costs, and written sale terms. Compare this property’s numbers; do not guess at an insurance payment or repair cost.
Use the Shawano home-sale calculator to compare a possible listing with what you may keep from an as-is sale. Change the assumptions to fit what you know about the property.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
