What we buy
We buy the house with its violations in place
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
You can tell us what the notice says and what condition the house is in. You do not need to finish the listed repairs, clean, or clear out the property before selling to us.
What can affect closing
The notice, any order, and the deadline matter
Missouri law lets cities, towns, villages, and first-class or charter counties adopt dangerous-building ordinances. Depending on the local ordinance, a building may have to be vacated, repaired, or demolished. The notice and hearing process depends on the locality and its ordinance; Missouri law has separate provisions for some larger cities.
If the owner does not do the required work, the local government may arrange it. The cost can become a special tax bill and property lien, or a contractor's lien. Local inspection or occupancy requirements may also apply. An as-is agreement does not erase an open order, deadline, or tax bill.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
Share the notice and any later letters so the buyer and closing professional can work through the repairs, deadlines, and closing requirements for the property.
Missouri statutes: RSMo § 67.400 — local ordinances for dangerous buildings · RSMo § 67.410 — notice, hearing, special tax bill, and lien.
