What we buy
We buy Clarksburg and Harrison County houses with code notices, repair needs, or serious disrepair. You do not need to finish repairs, clean, or clear out the house to sell to us. We can review the house as it stands and talk through what the notice says.
An as-is sale gives you a way to compare selling in the home's current condition with the cost and time of handling repairs first. An existing order, deadline, or lien still matters to the sale.
What can affect closing in West Virginia?
West Virginia law lets a city adopt an ordinance requiring owners to repair, close, remove, or demolish unsafe, unsanitary, or dangerous buildings. If a city adopts such an ordinance, its code-enforcement agency can give written notice. The city can then do the work itself and file a lien for its costs. A municipal court may appoint a receiver to take charge of the building. See West Virginia Code §8-12-16.
A county commission has similar authority over dilapidated buildings. After notice and a chance for a hearing, it can order repairs or demolition, impose daily penalties, hire contractors to do the work, and seek a lien for its costs. See West Virginia Code §7-1-3ff.
An as-is sale does not erase an order, court case, penalty, deadline, or lien. The notice and any court papers can affect whether and how closing happens.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job. Existing orders, court cases, liens, deadlines, and seller obligations before closing still matter.
What happens next
- We talk with you about the house, its condition, and any code notice or deadline.
- We review the information and give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
- We provide written terms before you commit; closing is through a title company.
The title and closing review still has to account for any notice, order, lien, or deadline affecting the property.
