What we take on
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris. You don't have to arrange a cleanout or finish repairs before discussing a sale with us.
Tell us what happened and what you know about the property. You can talk through an as-is sale while the damage is still there.
Insurance and 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 Willmar address, what happened, and what you know about the damage and access.
- We review the property information and give you a written cash offer and written terms.
- Read the terms before you commit. If you choose to proceed, a title company handles the closing.
You can call before gathering paperwork or arranging repairs.
Local safety, permit, and records contacts
If the structure may be unsafe, do not enter or start work where access is restricted. Follow directions for the actual property from the fire or building officials responsible for the site and the utility provider. Before removing debris or making repairs, ask the officials responsible for that address what access rules and approvals apply.
For building-safety or permit questions in Willmar, start with the City of Willmar's official website and ask which contact handles the address and planned work. For a repair scope, ask a qualified contractor for a written estimate.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
Put a written repair scope and contractor estimates beside information from your insurer and mortgage servicer, expected holding costs, and written sale terms. Use figures for this house; a general repair estimate cannot tell you what the property needs or what an insurer will pay.
Use the Willmar calculator to compare a possible listing with what you would actually net from a sale. Add repair and rebuilding estimates separately when weighing those choices. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
