What we buy
A house with violations, as-is
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
You can talk with us about the house as it stands. We consider its condition and open notices when discussing an offer.
What can affect closing
Notices and local requirements still matter
Michigan’s Dangerous Buildings Act allows a municipality, after the required notice and process, to order a dangerous building demolished, made safe or maintained. If the owner does not comply, the municipality can do the work and seek repayment. Unpaid costs can become a property lien only after the required notice and recording steps; that lien process does not automatically apply to every code notice.
An as-is sale does not erase an existing order or statutory deadline. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
Some Michigan cities require an inspection, occupancy certificate or approved compliance arrangement for a sale. Requirements vary by municipality; the City of Cadillac Code Enforcement office can explain local requirements for properties it regulates.
What happens next
Talk through the house and the notice
We can talk through the property, its notice and your plans, then give you a written offer and written terms before you commit. If you accept, the closing is handled through a title company.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. That is the offer timeframe; the property’s orders, title work and closing requirements still need to be reviewed for the actual sale.
Local help
City of Cadillac Code Enforcement
The City’s Code Enforcement office handles local code concerns. For a City notice, use its Report a Concern page to ask about the notice or any inspection affecting the property. We can review the notice with you and discuss what it may mean for a sale.
The City and Wexford County are separate jurisdictions.
Costs and questions
Compare what you may keep
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes or your share of current property taxes. Any amount, lien or deadline connected to a code notice is separate and still needs review.
The calculator can help compare listing with selling as-is using your estimates for repairs, cleanout, monthly bills and other costs. Its result is an estimate, not an offer for your house.

Questions about Cadillac code violations
Can I sell a Michigan house with open code violations?
A sale may be possible, depending on the notice, deadlines and local sale requirements. We can discuss the notice with you and what it may mean for a sale.
Does selling as-is erase a code order, deadline or lien?
No. An as-is agreement does not automatically cancel an order or statutory deadline. If the municipality has pursued work costs, any repayment or lien issue also needs to be reviewed; a lien can follow only after the required notice and recording steps.
Does every Cadillac sale require a code inspection or occupancy certificate?
Some Michigan cities require an inspection, occupancy certificate or approved compliance arrangement for a sale. The City of Cadillac Code Enforcement office can explain requirements for properties it regulates.
