We buy the house with its violations
We buy Dayton houses with open code violations as-is. You do not need to finish repairs, clean, or clear out the property before you speak with us. We can discuss the house and the notice together.
What can affect closing?
If you received written notice of building or housing-code violations, Ohio law requires written notice to the buyer before you sign the sale agreement. That rule is in Ohio Rev. Code § 5301.253. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
If the city has already taken you to court over the violations, selling does not automatically end that case. We can talk through the notice and where the case stands.
What happens next?
We talk with you about the house and what the notice says. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
Local help with a Dayton code notice
For a City of Dayton notice, the city's Housing Inspection resource covers housing-condition and maintenance enforcement questions. If a notice came from another municipality in Greene or Montgomery County, the Dayton office does not cover that municipality. We can still talk through the notice with you.
Compare what you might keep
Use the Dayton home-sale net proceeds calculator to compare possible sale costs and what you may net. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. The Ohio conveyance fee: When you sell to us, we pay it. Mortgage payoffs, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.
For Ohio conveyance-fee information, contact the Auditor for the property's county: Greene County Auditor's Office or Montgomery County Auditor's deed-transfer page.
