What we take on after a fire
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can discuss a sale before arranging cleanup, repairs, or debris hauling; you do not have to finish a restoration project for us first.
Tell us what was damaged and what access limits you know about. We review the house as it stands, including the cleanup and repair work it needs.
Insurance proceeds and your mortgage
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 the address, what happened, and what you know about damage, access, and any notices.
- We discuss the damage with you and review the house as it stands.
- We give you written terms before you commit; if you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company.
You can call before gathering paperwork or arranging cleanup.
Weirton safety, building, and property-record contacts
Do not enter a structure that may be unsafe or where access is restricted. Follow directions for the actual property from fire responders, the responsible building official, and the utility provider. Before cleanup, repairs, or demolition, ask the officials responsible for that address what access rules and approvals apply. Call 911 for an immediate emergency.
The City of Weirton Building Inspections & Code Enforcement department reviews and inspects properties for compliance with state and city building and property-maintenance codes. Use the city's official page as a starting point, then ask which approvals, if any, apply to the address and planned work.
Weirton includes properties in Brooke County and Hancock County. For deed or county-record questions, use the clerk for the county shown in the property's records; a city name or mailing address alone may not identify the parcel's county.

Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put written cleanup, repair, and rebuilding estimates beside the information from your insurer, mortgage servicer, expected property costs while work is underway, and the written sale terms. Compare the work you want to manage, how long it may take, debris removal, access limits, and any approvals for the planned work. Use figures for this house instead of guessing at a repair cost or insurance payment.
The Weirton calculator compares estimated listing proceeds with an as-is sale estimate using your own assumptions. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Do I keep my insurance proceeds, and what about my mortgage?

Do I have to clean out or repair the house before selling to you?

Can I enter the house or start cleanup after a fire?
Do not enter if the structure may be unsafe or officials have restricted access. Follow directions for the actual property from fire responders, building officials, and the utility provider. Before cleanup, repairs, or demolition, ask the officials responsible for that address what access and approvals apply.
What happens after I contact USA Home Buyers?
Tell us the address and what you know about the damage and access. We discuss the property with you, give you written terms before you commit, and close through a title company if you choose to proceed.
Where can I ask about building safety or permits in Weirton?
For a Weirton address, the City of Weirton Building Inspections & Code Enforcement page is a starting point for property-code questions. Ask the responsible officials which approvals, if any, apply to the actual address and planned work; follow any fire or building notice that names another responsible office.
How should I compare rebuilding with selling as-is?
Compare written cleanup, repair, and rebuilding estimates with written sale terms. Include debris removal, the time and property costs during the work, access restrictions, and any instructions from your insurer, mortgage servicer, or local officials. The calculator is a planning estimate, not an insurance payout or contractor quote.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Howard worked at Home Savings Bank for twenty-eight years. When he retired, we talked about downsizing for two years before we actually did it. The property tax on our Canfield Road house was $3,800 a year, and with both of us on fixed incomes that added up. USA Home Buyers closed in seven days. We're in a smaller place in Boardman with half the maintenance.”
“I got behind on payments after losing my warehouse job. The lender filed in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court and I didn't know what to do. USA Home Buyers explained the Ohio judicial foreclosure timeline, made a written offer the next morning, and we closed before the case moved to summary judgment. I walked away with money instead of losing everything.”
“The house on Michigan Avenue had been in Clara's family since 1951. When the waterline under the street broke, water backed up through the foundation and we had standing water in the basement for four days. Mold, foundation damage, HVAC destroyed. We're both past seventy and we couldn't put $40,000 into a house we'd been thinking about leaving anyway. Closed in ten days.”
