What we buy
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We talk through the notice, the remaining work, and any permit or court issues with you. You can ask about selling without finishing the listed work first.
We review the property's condition and notice with you. You get written terms before you commit, and you don't need to resolve every repair before asking for an offer.
What can affect closing in Indiana?
Yes, you can sell a house with an unsafe-building order. A recorded order stays with the property, so selling does not make it disappear.
Indiana's Unsafe Building Law applies in Indianapolis and Marion County and in other cities, towns, or counties that have adopted it. If it applies to your property and you received an order you haven't complied with, you must give the buyer full information about it before transferring or agreeing to transfer the property.
Within five days after agreeing to transfer or transferring your interest, the enforcement authority must receive the buyer's name, address, and phone number, along with the transfer document. We can talk through the notice with you and the title company.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
