What we buy
A house with violations, as it stands
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can discuss a sale without finishing repairs, cleaning, or clearing out the house first. We can review the notice with you and talk about what remains open on the property.
What can affect closing
Tennessee code orders and charges can stay with the property
Tennessee law allows cities to adopt procedures for buildings unfit for people to live in or use. If a city has adopted those procedures, it can order repairs or close a building after notice and a hearing. If repairs cannot be made at a reasonable cost, the city can order demolition.
If the owner does not comply, the city may do the work and charge the cost to the owner. That cost becomes a lien on the property and is collected with property taxes; if unpaid, it carries the same penalty and interest as late property taxes. Selling does not make that lien go away. A city may also charge for work such as mowing an overgrown lot, depending on its local rules.

What our sellers say
“The house in Allentown was sitting empty for 2 years after my dad passed. getting code violations from the city. sold it to them for cash, no cleanup needed.”
