What we buy
We buy Auburn and DeKalb County houses with open code notices, unsafe conditions, and repair work still ahead. You can ask about a sale without fixing, cleaning, or clearing out the house first. Tell us what the notice says and what you know about the property; we will discuss the house and the offer with you.
What can affect closing in Indiana
Indiana's Unsafe Building Law applies in Indianapolis and Marion County and in other cities, towns, or counties that have adopted it. The law does not automatically apply everywhere in Indiana, so ask the enforcement authority named on your notice whether it governs your property.
- Where the law applies, a recorded order stays with the property. If you received an order and have not complied, you must give the buyer full information about it before transferring or agreeing to transfer the property.
- Within five days after agreeing to transfer or transferring the interest, the enforcement authority must receive the buyer's name, address, and phone number, along with the transfer document. Bring the notice to the closing professional early so the submission and any court restrictions can be checked.
Read the Indiana Code sections on where the law applies (§§ 36-7-9-1 and -3) and on transferring property with an order (§§ 36-7-9-26 and -27).
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
The City of Auburn's official website is a starting point for city contacts. For the requirements on your property, contact the enforcement authority named on the notice.
What happens next
Tell us the Auburn property address, what condition it is in, and what the notice says. We'll talk through the house and your questions, then give you a written offer and written terms before you commit. If you choose to sell, the closing goes through a title company.
Keep the notice in the conversation through closing. An existing order, court restriction, or other liability is not automatically erased by a sale.
Costs and questions
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
That does not pay your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes; those remain separate.
