Can you sell a house with code violations in Hobart, IN?
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 Hobart and Lake County houses with code violations and unsafe conditions. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
What we buy
We buy the house with its existing violations. Tell us what is happening with the property and what the notice says; we'll talk through the house and notice with you.
What can affect closing
You can sell a house with a recorded unsafe-building order, but the order stays with the property. Indiana's Unsafe Building Law applies in Indianapolis and Marion County and in other cities, towns, or counties that have adopted it. If you received an order and have not complied, and the law applies in the local government handling it, you must give the buyer full information before agreeing to transfer or transferring the property. Within five days after agreeing to transfer or transferring the interest, the enforcement authority must receive the buyer's name, address and phone number and the transfer document. Indiana Code §§36-7-9-1, -3, -26 and -27.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
What happens next
Tell us about the house and what the notice says. We'll talk through the property, the notice, and any deadlines with you.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.

What our sellers say

“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.”
