What we take on after a fire
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You can compare an as-is sale without first arranging a cleanout, repair project, or debris removal.
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
1. Talk through the damage
Share the address, what happened, and any known limits on safe access.
2. Review written terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can read the written offer and terms before you commit.
3. Close through a title company
If you choose to sell, a title company handles closing.
Local help with safety, repairs, and permits
If entry is restricted or you are unsure the structure is safe, stay out and follow directions for that property. For local questions, these City and County contacts are a good place to start.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put a written repair scope and estimate beside what your insurer and mortgage servicer say about the claim and loan. Consider the cost and time to carry the property, safe access, and the written terms for an as-is sale. Use the actual details rather than guessing at repairs or an insurance payout.
The calculator helps compare possible net proceeds using your assumptions; it is an estimate, not an offer for this property.

What our sellers say
“After my mother passed, my brother and I inherited her house off Derry Street. Neither of us lives in Harrisburg anymore, and the thought of cleaning it out and making repairs before listing felt impossible. USA Home Buyers made us a fair offer and closed in 12 days. We didn't have to touch a thing.”
“I was four months behind on my mortgage and the notices were stacking up. I didn't even know I could sell and still come out with money. USA Home Buyers explained the whole thing, the offer was fair, and we closed before things got worse. Huge weight off my shoulders.”
“I had a tenant who stopped paying rent and refused to leave. I was paying the mortgage out of pocket for months. USA Home Buyers bought the property with the tenant still in it. That was the end of my landlord days. Done.”
