What We Buy With Open Violations
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. That includes a house with cited work still open; you can talk with us about selling before repairs are complete.
What Can Affect a Green Bay Closing?
Wisconsin restricts local rules that make a property sale or a buyer’s residential occupancy depend on an inspection, repairs, or a related fee. Local authorities can still enforce property standards separately from a sale and enforce state and federal requirements. An existing order or unsafe condition still needs attention. See Wis. Stat. § 706.22(1)–(3).
When you sell to us, we’re the buyer, so the repairs become our job. That does not automatically erase an existing order or a seller obligation before closing.

Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
