Sell the house as it stands
A fire can leave cleanup, repairs, and debris to deal with. You do not have to take those on before selling to us. Tell us what was damaged and what access is allowed; we review the house in its current condition.
If officials have restricted entry or work, follow their directions. Do not enter a structure that may be unsafe or begin cleanup or repairs before checking what is safe and permitted.
You keep your insurance proceeds
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.

Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put written repair and cleanup estimates, debris removal, any permits or inspections officials say apply, and the time and carrying costs of rebuilding beside the written sale terms. Ask your insurer and mortgage servicer how their requirements apply to your claim and loan; compare real figures instead of guessing at an insurance payment.
The calculator can help compare estimated sale proceeds with your planning assumptions, including what you might net after selling costs rather than only a possible sale price. Its result is an estimate, not a property-specific offer or an insurance estimate.
