What we take on
A fire can leave damage, smoke cleanup, and debris to deal with. You do not have to clean out the house, arrange repairs, or haul debris before selling to us. We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand.
If officials or utility personnel have restricted access, follow their directions. Do not enter a structure that may be unsafe.
Insurance proceeds and mortgage requirements
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 was damaged, what access is available, and any timing concerns.
- We discuss the property with you and give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
- You receive written offer terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company.
Ticonderoga building safety, repairs, and permits
If officials or utility personnel have restricted entry, follow their directions and stay out of a structure that may be unsafe. Before repairs or debris work, ask what access rules, permits, or inspections apply to the work at the actual address.
For a property in the Town of Ticonderoga, the Town's Code Enforcement and Building Inspection information is a starting point for building-inspection, permit, or unsafe-building questions. Share the address and any notice, and confirm directly with the Town what applies before starting work.
The Town also lists its ordinances and local laws, including information on nuisance properties and unsafe buildings.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put contractor estimates, cleanup and debris costs, any permits the Town says apply, insurer and mortgage-servicer requirements, and the time and carrying costs of rebuilding beside the written terms for an as-is sale. Do not assume a particular insurance payout.
The calculator can help compare a possible listing price with estimated proceeds after the costs you enter. Use your own assumptions; the result is an estimate, not a property-specific offer or settlement figure.
