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
- Tell us what the fire damaged and what you know about the property and access.
- We discuss the damage and give you written offer terms before you commit.

Local safety, repair, and permit contacts
Follow the directions for the actual property from fire or building officials and utility providers. Do not enter if officials have restricted access or the structure may be unsafe. Before cleanup, repairs, demolition, or debris removal, ask the authority responsible for the address whether any permits, inspections, or other approvals apply.

A Yakima mailing address does not by itself establish that a property is inside city limits. Check the specific address and contact the authority responsible for that location.
Compare rebuilding with selling as-is
If you are weighing repairs, compare written estimates for the work and cleanup with the written sale terms. Include safe access, any permit or inspection questions, what your insurer and mortgage servicer tell you, and the costs of holding the property while work is underway.
Use the Yakima home-sale net proceeds calculator to compare your own listing and as-is sale assumptions. The estimate is a planning tool, not a property-specific offer.
