We buy the house with its violations
We can review the house with the code notice in place. You do not have to repair, clean, or clear out the property before selling to us. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
You get the written offer and written terms before you commit; closing is through a title company. The offer and terms are for the specific property, including what you have told us about the notice.
What can affect closing in Michigan
Keep the actual notice, later letters, deadlines, inspection or permit papers, and any court documents together. Those records show what was issued and what still needs attention. Selling does not automatically cancel an existing order, court case, or your obligations before closing.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job. That applies to the repair work; it does not erase an existing order, court case, or obligation before closing. Tell us about the notice so the written terms can address the property-specific situation.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Seventy-two and seventy-four. We'd been happy in our house near the SC Johnson campus for twenty-eight years. But my wife's mobility isn't what it was and we needed one floor, no stairs. USA Home Buyers gave us a fair offer and closed in eight days. We're in a ranch in Caledonia now and it's exactly right.”
“Our Southside house had storm drain flooding in the basement two years running — Racine County has been working on the infrastructure but it wasn't fixed yet. The second time, we had mold in the walls and the furnace sat in standing water and died. Repair estimate was $31,000. USA Home Buyers bought it as-is, knew the local flood situation, no surprises. Closed in seven days.”
“Foreclosure in Racine County moves slow — Wisconsin is judicial, so the bank has to go through Circuit Court. Mine was already 9 months in when I finally called USA Home Buyers. They put a written offer on my West Racine bungalow in 24 hours, closed before the sheriff's sale, and I walked away with enough equity to put a deposit on an apartment in Kenosha.”
