What we buy
We buy Florence and Boone County houses with code notices, repair needs, and unsafe conditions. Tell us about the house and the notice, and we'll talk through the property with you. You don't need to arrange repairs before you call.
What can affect closing
Kentucky lets cities and counties enforce local codes and assess civil fines. After proper notice, a local government may clear a nuisance property, secure it against entry, or demolish part or all of a structure. Code fines, fees, and abatement costs become a lien on the property when recorded with the county clerk. The owner is personally responsible, and the lien can last ten years. Cities may also add unpaid code liens to the property-tax bill and collect them like unpaid taxes.
Read KRS 65.8840 on nuisance abatement, KRS 65.8835 on code-enforcement liens, and KRS 65.8834 on code charges added to property taxes.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.

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.”
“The house had some foundation issues and hadn't been updated since the 80s. I got quotes from contractors and the repair costs were going to eat everything I'd make listing it. USA Home Buyers bought it as-is. I'm glad I called.”
