What we take on
You can sell the house with the fire damage and debris still there. You don't have to clean it out, haul debris, or make repairs before selling to us. Tell us what happened and what officials have said about access; don't enter a structure officials have restricted or declared unsafe.
The offer is for the house as it stands. We can discuss its condition without asking you to restore it first.
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
Tell us about the damage, whether anyone has restricted access, and what you know about the insurance claim and mortgage. You can call or use the form; you don't need to finish repairs or clear debris before talking with us.
We discuss the property with you, provide a written offer and written terms before you commit, and close through a title company. The title company reviews the property records and transaction details; no property-specific amount or closing date is assumed here.
When you are ready, call 888-274-5006 or send the Springfield property details through the form.
Local safety, permit, and property-record contacts
If officials have limited entry, follow their directions and do not enter until they say access is allowed. For an immediate emergency, call 911.
Springfield city permit questions
For a property inside Springfield city limits, contact City of Springfield Building Development Services before starting repair work. The city's 1 & 2 Family Permits page lists 417-864-1585 for general and permit questions. Check with the local authority for a property outside city limits.
County deed and recorded-property records
Springfield's approved county span includes Christian and Greene Counties. Confirm which county the parcel is in before using its recorder's office for deed or recorded-document questions: Christian County Recorder's Office or Greene County Recorder's Office.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
If you rebuild or repair before listing, compare contractor estimates, permit questions, debris removal, time, utilities, insurance and mortgage requirements, and the cost of carrying the house while work is underway. For an as-is sale, compare the written offer and terms with the likely sale proceeds after repair, selling, and holding costs—not just a hoped-for listing price.
Use the calculator to compare planning estimates for a Springfield sale. Its numbers are estimates, not a property-specific offer or insurance decision.
