What we take on after a fire
A fire can leave cleanup, repairs, and debris behind. You do not have to clean out the house, arrange repairs, or haul debris before selling to us. We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand.
We can talk through the damage while the house still needs cleanup or restoration.
Insurance proceeds and your mortgage
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.
What happens next
- We talk through what happened, the damage, and anything you know about access.
- We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
- You receive written offer 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, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
