What we buy
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can tell us what the notice says and what repairs it lists; you do not have to start the work or clean out the house before asking about a sale.
What can affect closing
Alabama law lets a municipality repair or demolish an unsafe building after the required notice and process. The city can assess those costs against the property as a lien; selling the house does not erase that lien. The law also covers hearings and appeals, cost assessments, and continuing assessments under Ala. Code § 11-53B-2, § 11-53B-4, § 11-53B-5, and § 11-53B-6.
Separate Alabama law addresses weed abatement by Class 2 municipalities, including when costs may become a lien. Whether a particular city charge applies depends on local authority and process; see Ala. Code § 11-67-1 and § 11-67-4.
Check with the city and the closing attorney about any open order, assessment, lien, or deadline tied to the property.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
That does not erase an existing order, court case, or seller obligation before closing.

A Dothan property can touch more than one county
Census city-place geometry for Dothan intersects Dale, Geneva, Henry, and Houston counties. That citywide boundary does not identify the county for a specific parcel, so confirm the property's county if a county assessment or recording question comes up.
Costs and questions
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Alabama's deed tax. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.
