Sell without cleanup, repairs, or hauling debris
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You do not have to clear the house or finish restoration before discussing a sale. Tell us what was damaged and what access limits you know about; you can start with the information you have.
If you already have a fire report, safe photographs, or repair estimates, you can share them while we discuss the property. You do not need to arrange a cleanup or prepare the house for us 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, access limits, and timing. Share the address and any records you already have.
- We review the house as it stands and discuss the damage with you. We give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
- You receive a written offer and written terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the West Virginia real estate transfer excise tax and the additional county excise tax. This does not pay off your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
Local safety and jurisdiction questions
Do not enter if fire responders or building officials have restricted access or the structure may be unsafe. Follow directions for the property and your utility. Before cleanup, repairs, or demolition, ask the responsible officials what access and approvals apply to the address and work.
The City and Nicholas County are separately administered. If you are unsure whether a property is inside city limits, the City maps page directs boundary questions to City Hall. The Nicholas County Assessor describes its tax maps as approximate, so use the proper local office for the specific address.
Compare rebuilding with selling as it stands
Compare written cleanup, repair, and rebuilding estimates with the written sale terms. Consider debris removal, the time and work you want to take on, any permits or inspections officials identify, and property costs while work is underway. Confirm insurance and mortgage questions with the professionals handling your claim and loan.
Use the Summersville home-sale net-proceeds calculator to compare sale paths using your own figures for repairs, cleanup, and carrying costs. It is a planning estimate, not an insurance decision or contractor quote.
