What we buy

We buy houses in Greencastle and Putnam County with code notices, unsafe conditions, unfinished repairs, or serious disrepair. You do not need to repair, clean, or clear out the house before selling to us.

Tell us what the notice says and what work remains. We can review the house as it stands; the notice and any court papers still matter when the sale is prepared for closing.

What can affect closing

Indiana's Unsafe Building Law applies in Indianapolis and Marion County, and in other cities, towns, or counties that have adopted it. Outside Indianapolis and Marion County, whether it applies depends on local adoption; check the authority named on your notice or with the closing professional for your address.

If the law applies and an owner has received an order but has not complied, the owner must give the buyer full information before transferring or agreeing to transfer the property. A recorded order stays with the property, so the buyer takes it on.

Within five days after agreeing to transfer or transferring the interest, the enforcement authority must receive the buyer's name, address, and phone number, along with the transfer document. Bring the notice and any court papers to the closing professional early so the requirements and any court restrictions can be checked.

The order, any court case, and obligations that apply before closing do not disappear in a sale. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.

Indiana Code: §§ 36-7-9-1 and -3 (where the law applies) and §§ 36-7-9-26 and -27 (order and transfer requirements).

What happens next

  1. We talk about the house, its condition, the notice, and any timing you are facing.
  2. We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
  3. Before you commit, you get a written offer and written terms; closing is through a title company. Any applicable order or court restriction still needs to be checked.

Costs and questions

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate and are not covered by that promise.

Code-violation questions

Can I sell a Greencastle house with code violations?

Yes. You can sell a house with code violations or an unsafe-building order. A recorded order stays with the property, and any applicable notice, court, and transfer requirements still need to be checked.

Do I have to repair the house before selling it to USA Home Buyers?

No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job. An existing order or court case does not disappear just because the house is sold.

What should I do if I received an unsafe-building order?

Share the notice and any related court papers with us and the closing professional early. Where Indiana’s Unsafe Building Law applies, an owner who has not complied with an order must give the buyer full information before transferring or agreeing to transfer the property; the enforcement authority also has a five-day notice requirement after the transfer agreement or transfer.

How soon will I get a written cash offer?

We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.

Who pays closing costs if I sell to you?

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.

We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
