Fairmont, WV Code violations
Can I sell a house with code violations in Fairmont, WV?

What we buy
We buy houses with code notices as-is in Fairmont and Marion County. You do not have to finish repairs, clean the house, or clear it out to sell to us. Tell us what the notice says and what you know about the property, and we can review the house with those facts in view.
The notice still matters. Selling as-is does not itself cancel an order, court case, deadline, or lien.
What can affect closing in West Virginia?
West Virginia lets cities adopt ordinances that require owners to repair, close, remove, or demolish a building considered unsafe, unsanitary, or dangerous. After written notice, a city may do the work itself and file a lien for its costs. A municipal court can also put the building into receivership, placing a receiver in charge of it. West Virginia Code § 8-12-16.
The Marion County Commission has similar authority over dilapidated buildings. After notice and an opportunity for a hearing, it can order repairs or demolition, impose daily penalties, hire contractors, and seek a lien for the costs. West Virginia Code § 7-1-3ff.
The written notice, any order or court papers, the deadlines, and any lien all matter for your house. An as-is agreement does not erase them, and a sale does not automatically cancel a court case or statutory deadline.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
That does not automatically cancel an existing order, case, deadline, or lien; those still need to be addressed for the property and sale.
What happens next
Talk about the house and notice
We talk through the Fairmont address, the house condition, and what the code notice or any related court papers say. If you have later letters or permit records, those can help explain what is still open.
Review written terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You see the written offer and written terms before you commit.
Close through a title company
If you choose to move forward, closing is through a title company. The notice, order, lien, and title details still need to be accounted for; a sale does not automatically clear them.
Closing costs
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the West Virginia real estate transfer excise tax and the additional county excise tax.
This does not pay your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes. Those remain separate from the closing costs covered by this promise.

Fairmont code-violation questions

Do I need to repair or clean out the house before contacting you?
No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what the notice says and what you know about the property.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Howard worked at Home Savings Bank for twenty-eight years. When he retired, we talked about downsizing for two years before we actually did it. The property tax on our Canfield Road house was $3,800 a year, and with both of us on fixed incomes that added up. USA Home Buyers closed in seven days. We're in a smaller place in Boardman with half the maintenance.”
“I got behind on payments after losing my warehouse job. The lender filed in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court and I didn't know what to do. USA Home Buyers explained the Ohio judicial foreclosure timeline, made a written offer the next morning, and we closed before the case moved to summary judgment. I walked away with money instead of losing everything.”
“The house on Michigan Avenue had been in Clara's family since 1951. When the waterline under the street broke, water backed up through the foundation and we had standing water in the basement for four days. Mold, foundation damage, HVAC destroyed. We're both past seventy and we couldn't put $40,000 into a house we'd been thinking about leaving anyway. Closed in ten days.”
