What we take on
You can sell without cleaning the house, repairing fire damage, or hauling debris first. We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand. Tell us what is damaged and whether anyone has limited access; you do not need to restore the property before asking us about a sale.
You keep your insurance proceeds
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 fire, the visible damage, any access limits, and where things stand with the insurance claim and mortgage.
- We discuss the property with you and give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
- You receive written terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company.
Vineland inspection and fire-safety help
Vineland requires a Certificate of Inspection before settlement, even for an as-is sale. The buyer can sign a Certificate of Transfer affidavit to take responsibility for problems found. The City of Vineland Fire Division explains the home-sale inspection process on its Selling Your Home page.
Follow any fire or building official, utility, and insurer instructions about entering the house. Do not go inside if access has been restricted or the structure may be unsafe.
Compare rebuilding with selling
Compare a written offer with the likely cost and work of cleanup, repairs, permits or inspections, and the time and carrying costs involved in rebuilding or listing. Consider what each path leaves you after expenses, not just a possible sale price. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New Jersey's realty transfer fee and any applicable graduated percent fee. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Use the Vineland home-sale net proceeds calculator to compare estimated listing proceeds with a cash-sale estimate. The estimate can help frame the choice; your actual costs and property condition still matter.
Testimonials are real, from our transactions, verified and approved by our attorneys. Each quote shows the seller's location and date.
What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“After losing my job at ChristianaCare, I fell three months behind on my mortgage. The lender filed a complaint in NCC Superior Court — I had no idea Delaware foreclosure moved that fast. USA Home Buyers explained the judicial timeline, made a written offer the next morning, and we closed before the case progressed. I walked away with $38,000 instead of nothing.”
“The row home on Lancaster Avenue had foundation cracks that had been moving. We called an engineer and they said the back wall had shifted two inches and needed shoring — $48,000 estimate. No bank would finance a buyer with a structural issue like that. USA Home Buyers came out, made an offer two days later. Closed in thirteen days.”
“Seventy-one years old and my husband is in a nursing facility on Foulk Road. I needed to sell the house to cover his care costs. The whole situation is hard enough without adding a six-month listing process. USA Home Buyers were understanding and quick. Offer in twenty-four hours, closed in eight days.”
