What we take on when you sell as-is
You do not have to clean the house, repair fire or smoke damage, or haul away debris before selling to us. We buy the property in its current condition, so you can discuss the damage before arranging restoration work.
Tell us what happened and what you know about the house, including any access limits. An as-is sale does not change safety directions for entering the property or doing work there.
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
- 1. Tell us about the damage. Share the address, what was damaged, and any limits on safe access. You do not need to enter an unsafe property to tell us what you know.
- 2. Review written terms. We discuss the property and give you a written cash offer and written terms before you commit.
- 3. Decide whether to proceed. If you choose to sell, closing is handled through a title company.

Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
If you are considering rebuilding, compare the repair scope and estimates you actually have, cleanup and debris costs, safe-access instructions, permit questions, insurance and mortgage information, and the cost of holding the house while work is underway. Then compare those numbers with written sale terms and a realistic estimate of what a listing might leave after costs.
Use the Wapakoneta home-sale net proceeds calculator to compare your own listing and sale assumptions. It is an estimate for planning, not an offer for your property.
