What we buy
We buy the Hamilton house with its code violations in place. You don't need to finish repairs, clean, or clear out the property before selling to us. We can review the house in its current condition along with the notice and other records you have.
Call and tell us the address, what the notice says, and what has happened with the property. You can start with the information you have; you don't need to complete a repair project first.
What can affect closing
Under Ohio Rev. Code §5301.253, if you received a written notice of building or housing code violations, you must tell the buyer about those violations in writing before signing the sale agreement. When you sell to us, we are the buyer, so share the written notice with us before signing.
One thing to know: if the city has already taken you to court over the violations, selling does not automatically end that case. Tell us about the notice and any court papers when we talk.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
That does not automatically end an existing court case or cancel an obligation that applies to you before closing.
What happens next
- Tell us the Hamilton address, what the house needs, and what the city sent you.
- We'll talk through the house, the notice, and any court papers with you.
- We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
