What we take on after a fire
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You do not have to clear the house, arrange a cleanout, or finish restoration before asking us about a sale. Tell us what happened and what you know about the damage; we can discuss the property in its current condition.
An as-is sale does not change safety directions for entering the property or doing work there. Follow any access restrictions for the actual house.
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 the Van Wert address, what was damaged, and any access limits you know about.
- We discuss the damage and review the house as it stands.
- We give you a written cash offer and written terms before you commit.
- If you choose to sell, closing is through a title company.
Van Wert fire safety, repairs, and permit questions
Do not enter a structure if officials have restricted access or it may be unsafe. Follow directions for the actual property from the fire department, building official, utility provider, and insurer. Before cleanup, repairs, demolition, or rebuilding, ask the responsible local office which permits or inspections, if any, apply to that address and planned work. The responsible office depends on the property's location; confirm which authority handles it before starting work.

For a property outside city limits, use the County's official site to find the right contact and confirm which office has jurisdiction for the address and work.
For deed and property-record questions, see the Van Wert County Recorder's Office.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
If you are considering rebuilding, compare written cleanup, repair, or rebuilding estimates with the written offer and terms. Consider how much work you want to manage, how long it may take, and the property costs you expect to keep paying while work is underway. Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
Use the Van Wert home-sale net proceeds calculator to compare your listing assumptions with what you may net. Use realistic numbers for cleanup, repairs or rebuilding, and costs while you decide.
