What we take on after a fire

You can sell the house without cleaning it, arranging repairs, or hauling away fire debris for us. We buy the property as it stands, so you can discuss a sale without first taking on cleanup or restoration work.

Follow officials' directions before entering. Do not go inside if access is restricted or the structure has been identified as unsafe.

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. 1. Talk through the damage

    Tell us what happened and what you know about the property and safe access.

  2. 2. Review written terms

    We discuss the property and give you a written offer and written terms before you commit.

  3. 3. Close through a title company

    If you choose to sell, a title company handles the closing.

Compare rebuilding with selling as-is

Rebuilding can involve cleanup, repairs, debris removal, approvals, and the time and expense of carrying the house while work is underway. Compare those costs with written sale terms and with what a listing might leave after its costs. Your insurance claim and mortgage requirements are separate from the sale.

Use the Taylorville calculator to compare an estimated listing net with an as-is sale using your numbers. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
