What we take on after a fire
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, arrange restoration, or haul debris before selling to us. Tell us what you know about the damage so we can discuss the property as it is.
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.
What happens next
1. Talk through the damage
Tell us what happened, what you know about the house, and whether anyone has set limits on access.
2. Review written terms
We discuss the property and give you a written offer and written terms before you commit.
3. Close through a title company
If you choose to sell, closing is through a title company. We review the property and its actual records as part of discussing next steps.
Local help for safety, repairs, and permits
Do not enter a structure if officials have restricted access or it may be unsafe. Follow directions from the officials responsible for the property and utility providers. Before cleanup, repairs, or demolition, ask which safety, permit, or inspection steps apply to that address and work.
Skowhegan is a town in Somerset County, and the town and county are different jurisdictions. For a property within the Town of Skowhegan, start with the Town's official website for current municipal contacts; confirm the address's jurisdiction before relying on town instructions.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put repair and debris-removal estimates, any official work requirements, and the time and carrying costs beside the sale terms. Include the instructions you receive from your insurer and mortgage servicer when weighing what to do with the property.
The Skowhegan calculator helps compare possible sale proceeds using your assumptions; it does not estimate reconstruction costs or an insurance payment. Pair the estimate with property-specific repair information and the time you can carry the house.
