Talk to your insurer first
Before you sell, understand your homeowners claim: what it pays for the structure, contents and living expenses, and whether selling changes any payment. Some policies pay differently depending on whether you rebuild. Get the adjuster's estimate in writing. You can often sell the house and keep the insurance proceeds you are owed, but confirm this with your insurer and, if needed, an attorney.
Rebuild vs sell
| Rebuild | Sell as-is | |
|---|---|---|
| Time | Often many months, with permits and contractors | Close when title is ready |
| Hassle | You manage the project | One walkthrough |
| Money | Could come out ahead if insurance covers it | Price reflects the damage |
Safety and the city
Fire-damaged homes can be unsafe to enter and may be posted or boarded by the city. Do not let anyone into the house without the fire marshal or city clearing it. Code enforcement may require the property to be secured.
How it works
Tell us about the house
Fill out the short form. We will ask a few questions about the property, your timeline and what you need.
Get a written cash offer
We walk the house, run the numbers, explain them, and give you a written offer. No fee and no obligation.
Close when you are ready
Pick the closing date. A licensed title company handles the closing, and you can leave behind anything you do not want.

Common questions
Can I sell a house that burned?
Yes. We buy fire-damaged houses in any condition, including total losses.
Do I keep my insurance money if I sell?
Often, but it depends on your policy and your mortgage. Ask your insurer and lender.
Do I have to clean up the debris?
No, unless the city requires it before a sale. We handle cleanup after we buy.
