Sell without cleanup, repairs, or hauling debris
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You do not have to arrange a cleanout, repair the fire damage, or haul debris before selling to us. Tell us what is still at the property and what work, if any, has been done.
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 what you know about the damage, the property as it stands, and any directions about access. You can start the conversation without finishing cleanup or repairs.
- We discuss the damage and the practical property details you know.
- We give you written offer terms before you commit.
- If you choose to sell to us, a title company handles the closing.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the county documentary transfer tax and any city transfer tax. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate items.
Local safety, repair, and permit help
Do not enter if officials have restricted access or the structure may be unsafe. Follow directions from the fire or building officials and utility responsible for the property. Before removing debris or starting repairs or demolition, ask the authority responsible for the address what access, permits, or inspections apply to that work.
For an address within Visalia city limits, start with the City of Visalia's official website and give the full property address to reach the right building or fire contact. If the property is outside city limits, confirm which local authority is responsible or use the agency named on the property notice.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
For a rebuild, compare contractor or remediation estimates, the work and time involved, any access or permit steps officials identify, utility status, and your insurer's and mortgage servicer's requirements. Include the cost of carrying the property while work is underway.
Compare those costs and steps with written sale terms and an estimate of what you may keep after a sale. The calculator uses editable planning assumptions; it does not estimate fire repairs or decide what an insurer or mortgage servicer requires.
