We make it simple

You do not have to fix it to sell it

Open code violations, a condemnation order, or a failed inspection can stall a traditional sale. Financed buyers usually cannot close on a property that is not up to code, and bringing it into compliance can cost more than you want to spend on a house you are leaving.

We buy houses with open violations for cash, exactly as they are. We take on the responsibility of bringing the property into compliance after closing, so you can sell without contractors, permits, or repair bills.

Simple by design

How selling a house works

1

Tell us about the property

Share the address and where things stand with the estate. It takes about 2 minutes and there is zero obligation.

2

Get a fair cash offer

We review the home and the local market, then present a fair cash offer with a clear explanation of how we got there.

3

Close on your schedule

We coordinate with your attorney, handle the paperwork and closing costs, and you choose the closing date.

You don't carry this alone

We take on the compliance work

You do not need to clean the house, fix anything, or make trips back and forth across the state. Take any keepsakes and personal items you want, and leave everything else exactly where it is. We deal with the cleanout, the condition, and the logistics.

If the estate is still in probate, that is normal and not a roadblock. We regularly coordinate with the personal representative and the estate's attorney so the sale lines up with the court's timeline. We are buyers and not attorneys, so your estate counsel always confirms what is permitted in your specific case, and we work around it.

Questions, answered

Open code violations FAQ

Can I sell a house with open code violations? +
Yes. We buy properties with open violations for cash and take on the work of resolving them after closing, so you do not have to fix anything first.
What about a failed Title 5 septic inspection? +
We buy homes with failed or missing Title 5 inspections. A failed septic often stops a traditional sale, but it does not stop a cash purchase by us.
Do I need to deal with the building department? +
No. Once we close, the responsibility for resolving the violations and bringing the property into compliance shifts to us.
Will the violations lower my offer? +
They factor into the number, since we take on the cost of resolving them. We will explain plainly how that affects the offer so it is clear and fair.
