What we take on
You do not have to clean up, repair the house, or haul away debris before selling it to us. Start with what you know about the fire, the areas affected, and any access or utility restrictions. A fire report and insurer correspondence can help us discuss the property, but you do not need to enter an unsafe house or finish repairs before asking about a sale.
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris.
Insurance proceeds and your mortgage
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 happened and what you know about the damage and access.
- We discuss the property with you and give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
- You receive the written offer and written terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
Local safety, repairs, and records
Follow the directions for the specific property from the fire department, building official, utility, and insurer. Do not enter a structure that may be unsafe or where access is restricted. Before cleanup, repairs, demolition, or hauling debris, ask the building official responsible for the address which approvals or permits apply to that work.
For deed and county-record questions, the Kosciusko County Recorder is the county office identified for Warsaw sellers. The Recorder is not the office to clear a fire scene or confirm repair permits.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Rebuilding or repairing may fit if the insurer’s claim information, mortgage requirements, contractor estimates, and any permits or inspections leave a workable plan. Compare that path’s repair and carrying costs with the written terms for an as-is sale. Consider the work still needed, time without the house, and the costs of utilities, taxes, and insurance while deciding.
The calculator is a planning estimate, not an insurance decision or a property-specific offer. Compare its estimated net with your actual repair estimates and written sale terms.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“We had a grease fire in the kitchen that spread to the wall and the cabinet above the range before we got it out. Insurance gave us actual cash value — $19,000 on a kitchen that would cost $35,000 to rebuild. I wasn't going to fight that for six months. USA Home Buyers bought the house as-is in nine days.”
“I worked at the Amazon distribution center in Kenosha and took a medical leave for six months. Fell behind on payments, the bank filed in Kenosha County Circuit Court — Wisconsin judicial foreclosure. USA Home Buyers explained exactly where the timeline was and moved fast. Written offer in twenty-four hours, closed in eleven days. Foreclosure dismissed.”
“We owned our Lakeview property for twenty-six years and the property taxes hit $6,400 this year. Both retired, two incomes gone to one Social Security check. The house had too many stairs for my husband's knees anyway. USA Home Buyers gave us a fair number and closed in seven days. We moved to a one-floor condo in Waukegan.”
