What we buy
We can buy the house with its code notices and repair needs in place. You do not have to finish repairs, clean the house, or clear it out to sell to us. Tell us what the notice says and what you know about the property.
What can affect closing in Indiana?
Indiana's Unsafe Building Law applies in Indianapolis and Marion County. You can sell a house with an unsafe-building order. If you received an order and have not complied with it, you must give the buyer full information about the order before transferring or agreeing to transfer the property. Indiana Code §§ 36-7-9-1 and -3.
Within five days after agreeing to transfer the property or transferring your interest, the enforcement authority must receive the buyer's name, address, and phone number, along with the transfer document. Bring the order and any related papers to the closing professional early so the requirements and any court restrictions can be checked. Indiana Code §§ 36-7-9-26 and -27.
A recorded unsafe-building order stays with the property, so the buyer takes it on. Selling does not remove an existing order or make a court restriction go away. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.

Questions about selling with code violations

Yes. You can sell a house with an unsafe-building order. A recorded order stays with the property, and if you received an order and have not complied with it, Indiana law requires you to give the buyer full information about it before transferring or agreeing to transfer the property.
Does selling remove the order or any court restrictions?
A recorded order stays with the property, and the buyer takes it on. Do not assume that selling removes an order or resolves a court restriction; have the notice and any court papers checked before closing.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“I retired from Carle Hospital after thirty-three years as a nurse and decided to move to Arizona to be near my son. My house in Lincolnwood had been good to me but it needed some work I wasn't willing to do. USA Home Buyers made an offer the day after we spoke. I was in Tucson six weeks later.”
“I'd been renting to UIUC students in Old West Urbana for eleven years. Every August it was the same: new tenants, new damage, new headaches. Last summer I decided I was done. USA Home Buyers bought the place tenant-occupied. Closed in twelve days. I'm out of the landlord business.”
“The Champaign County divorce decree required the house to be sold. It's in Savoy, near the university, good area — but we couldn't agree on anything. One offer was already written up for us and both of us just had to sign. Twelve days and it was done. The attorneys took care of the rest.”
