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 leave the cleanup, repairs, and debris removal to us when you sell to us.
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
Tell us what happened and what you know about the damage. We talk it through with you. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Virginia state and local recordation taxes, grantor tax and any applicable regional WMATA capital fee, regional congestion relief fee or regional transportation improvement fee.
No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs we pay.
Safety and permit questions in Strasburg
Follow any directions from fire officials about entering the property. Stay out if officials have said the structure is unsafe or restricted access.
Shenandoah County Building Inspection handles county permit and inspection questions. Call 540-459-6185 or read the Building Inspection information. If the property is in the Town of Strasburg, call us — we'll sort out which office to contact with you.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Compare the written sale terms with the repair, cleanup, and debris-removal costs you expect, the time rebuilding could take, and the costs of carrying the house while work is underway.
The calculator lets you adjust sale and repair assumptions to compare estimated proceeds. Use the Strasburg home-sale net-proceeds calculator to compare the numbers for your situation.
