What we take on
You don't have to clean up, repair, or haul away fire debris before selling to us. We buy the house as it stands, including fire, smoke, and water damage from firefighting. Tell us what you know about the damage and any limits on entering the property; you don't need to arrange cleanup first.
You keep your insurance proceeds
We buy the house exactly as it stands, and you keep your insurance proceeds.
If you still have a mortgage, your lender may have a say in how that check is used — we'll walk through it with you.

Wausau safety and property-maintenance help

We buy fire-damaged houses as-is, so you do not need to arrange cleanup, repairs, or debris hauling before selling to us.
