What we take on after a fire
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You do not have to arrange restoration or haul fire debris before selling the house to us.
Tell us what you know about the damage and any limits on entering the property.
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 the Vincennes or Knox County address and what you know about the damage and access.
- We discuss the property and give you written terms before you commit.
- If you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company.
Local safety, repair, and permit contacts
Do not enter if officials have restricted access or the structure may be unsafe. Follow the fire department and building official responsible for the address. Before cleanup, debris removal, repairs, or demolition, ask the responsible office whether permits, inspections, or other approvals apply.
Vincennes city limits and Knox County offices cover different jurisdictions. Confirm which one handles the property address before relying on a local permit or inspection process.

Compare rebuilding with selling as it stands
Compare written cleanup, repair, and rebuilding estimates with the written offer and terms. Consider the work and time involved, property costs while you decide, access limits, and any requirements your insurer, mortgage servicer, or local officials give you.
Use the Vincennes home-sale net proceeds calculator with your own planning assumptions. It can help you compare possible sale proceeds and costs; it is an estimate, not an insurance payout or contractor quote.
