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 don't have to finish restoration or haul fire debris before selling the house to us.
Tell us what you know about the damage and the property's condition. We review the house as it stands, including cleanup and repair 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.
The sale statement does not determine what an insurer will pay or remove requirements that apply to your mortgage. Ask the insurer and servicer about your own claim and loan.
What happens next
- Tell us the address, what happened, and any access limits or notices you know about.
- 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.
Local records and fire-safety questions
Do not enter a structure that officials have restricted or that may be unsafe. For questions about safe access, cleanup, repairs, or permits, follow the directions on the property's notices and contact the fire or building official responsible for that property before starting work.

Compare rebuilding with selling as it stands
Put written cleanup, repair, and rebuilding estimates beside a written offer and its terms. Consider the work you want to manage, how long it may take, and the property costs you expect while deciding. Check any insurer, mortgage-servicer, or local-official requirements that apply to the actual property.
Use the Zanesville home-sale net proceeds calculator with your own planning assumptions. It is an estimate, not an insurance payout or a 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.”
