We Buy the House With the Violations
Open notices, unfinished permit work, failed inspections, and repair needs don’t mean you have to fix the house before selling it to us. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We review the property and the notice with you so you can review the written offer and terms before you decide.
What Can Affect Closing in Wisconsin?
Wisconsin law limits local rules that make a sale or a buyer’s residential occupancy depend on an inspection, repairs, or a related fee. Under Wis. Stat. § 706.22(1)–(3) local authorities can still enforce property standards independently of a sale and enforce state or federal requirements. An existing order or unsafe condition may still need attention, and this rule does not erase a seller obligation before closing. When you sell to us, we’re the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
What Happens Next?
We talk with you about the house and any notice. We review title, payoff, occupancy, seller authority, and the code issue. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
