What we take on
You do not have to arrange cleanup, repairs, or debris hauling before selling to us. We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand, so you can sell without taking on that work first.
Your insurance proceeds and 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
We'll talk through the damage with you. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Starkville building safety, repairs, and permits
After a fire, stay out if fire officials or utility workers have said the house is unsafe or restricted. Follow their instructions before entering or starting repairs.
For a house inside Starkville city limits, the City Building Department can answer questions about permits and inspections for repair work. Starkville's City maps and Planning Department GIS information include city-limit information. Not sure which office covers the house? Call us — we'll sort it out with you.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Rebuilding may mean cleanup, repairs, debris hauling, and carrying costs while the work is underway. Compare that time and expense with the written terms for selling the house as-is.
Use the calculator to compare a possible listing price with estimated proceeds after the costs you enter.
