What we buy
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
That includes a house with an open notice or repair list. We can discuss the house in its current condition; an existing order, deadline, or liability still matters before closing.
What can affect closing in Kentucky
Kentucky cities and counties can enforce local codes and assess civil fines. After proper notice, a local government may clear a nuisance, secure it against entry, or demolish all or part of a structure under KRS 65.8840.
Fines, fees, and abatement costs become a lien on the property once recorded with the county clerk. Under KRS 65.8835, the lien can last ten years, ranks ahead of most other liens except state, county, school-board, and city taxes, and leaves the owner personally responsible for the amount. A city may also add an unpaid code lien to the property-tax bill and collect it like unpaid taxes under KRS 65.8834.
An existing order, court case, deadline, or liability does not automatically disappear when you sell. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
What happens next
Talk about the house and notice
We talk through the house, its condition, and any code notice or order you know about. You can call even if you do not have every detail sorted out.
Review the written offer
We give you a written cash offer and written terms before you decide whether to commit.
Close through a title company
If you choose to sell, closing is through a title company. Any open order, court case, recorded lien, or deadline still needs to be addressed for the property.
Local help in Corbin
For a City of Corbin code concern, the City of Corbin Building Inspection/Code Enforcement office is the local contact for building-inspection and code-enforcement questions.
The incorporated city includes parts of Knox, Laurel, and Whitley Counties, so the applicable county depends on the property’s location.
Costs and questions
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Kentucky real estate transfer tax. This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
