What we take on
You can discuss a sale with the house in its current condition. You do not have to clean it out, repair fire damage, or haul debris to sell to us.
We buy the house exactly as it stands. Tell us what was damaged and what access officials allow; you do not need to arrange restoration before talking about a sale.
Insurance and mortgage questions
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 damage, the property's condition, and any limits on access.
- We review what you share and give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
- You can read the written offer and terms before you commit. If you decide to proceed, closing is through a title company.
Safety, repairs, and permits
If the house may be unsafe or officials have restricted access, do not enter until the officials responsible for that property say it is safe. Follow directions for the actual address from the fire department, building officials, utility providers, and insurer. Before cleanup, repairs, demolition, or debris removal, ask the responsible officials what access limits or approvals apply.
For a property inside the City of Washington, the City's licenses, permits, and fees page is a starting point for permit routing. The City lists 724-225-2785 for Code Enforcement appointments. Ask which office handles the specific address and work. If the property is outside City limits, contact the municipality where it is located.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
For rebuilding, compare the insurer's information with a written repair scope, contractor estimates, any required approvals, and the costs of holding the house while work is underway. For an as-is sale, compare the written offer and terms with the net you expect from a listing after repairs, selling expenses, and time-related costs. Use figures you have for this house rather than a generic repair estimate.
The Washington PA calculator lets you compare expected proceeds from listing with an as-is sale using your own assumptions. It is an estimate, not an offer for a specific property.
Questions and contact
Call to talk through the property, even if you are still waiting on paperwork. You can also share the address and damage details in the form.
