What we buy
You can reach out before starting repairs or clearing anything out. We can talk through the house and its code notice with you.
What can affect closing
Illinois law allows a municipality to repair or demolish a dangerous or unsafe building, and related costs may become a lien on the property under 65 ILCS 5/11-31-1. An existing order, court case, or lien still matters while you work through the sale.
If your notice has a deadline, it still applies. Not sure how the notice affects the house? Call us — we'll sort it out with you.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
