Gladstone, MO · Clay County
Can you sell a house with code violations in Gladstone, MO?
The fines don't stop while you think about it. They pile up, they add new ones, and every month takes another bite out of what the property is worth to you. We can buy it quickly, violations and all, so you stop the bleeding and keep your equity.
Yes. We buy houses in Gladstone and Clay County with open code violations. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
What we buy
We buy houses with open notices, repair needs, or unsafe conditions as-is. Tell us what is happening with the house and the notice; we'll talk it through with you. You don't need to repair or clean out the house before you call.
What can affect closing
Missouri law lets cities, towns, villages, and first-class or charter counties adopt dangerous-building ordinances. Those ordinances can require a building to be vacated, repaired, or demolished. Notice and hearing steps vary by local ordinance. (RSMo §67.400; RSMo §67.410.)
If required work is not done, local government may arrange it. The cost can become a special tax bill and property lien, or a contractor's lien. Selling the house does not cancel an open order or tax bill. Gladstone also has local residential inspection information; inspection or occupancy requirements may apply to a property. See Gladstone residential inspections.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.

Tell us about the house and the notice. We'll talk through the condition, any deadlines, and what you want to do.

Costs and questions
Missouri's Constitution bars the state, counties, and other local governments from imposing new taxes on the sale or transfer of real estate after December 2, 2010. County deed-recording fees and other recording charges set by state law apply. The title company or closing professional confirms the exact charges. (Missouri Constitution, Article X, Section 25; RSMo §59.310; §59.319; §59.800.)
Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.

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.”
