What we buy
We buy the house with the violation still there. You do not have to arrange repairs, cleaning, or a cleanout before asking us about a sale. Tell us what you know about the house, the notice, and any work already done.
We review houses in Kalamazoo and Kalamazoo County as-is. The written offer and terms give you a specific proposal to compare before you decide.
What can affect closing
“Code violation” can mean different things on different properties. The actual notice, inspection report, permit record, deadline, and any separate court papers show what needs review; do not assume every Kalamazoo-area property follows the same inspection or permit steps.
The property address matters too. For an address inside Kalamazoo city limits, start with the City of Kalamazoo for city code, building-safety, or permit questions. For a property elsewhere in Kalamazoo County, use the local jurisdiction and office identified on its notice. Share the paperwork with us so we can discuss the specific closing questions with the title company.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job. This does not erase an existing order, court case, or seller obligation before closing.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Seventy-two and seventy-four. We'd been happy in our house near the SC Johnson campus for twenty-eight years. But my wife's mobility isn't what it was and we needed one floor, no stairs. USA Home Buyers gave us a fair offer and closed in eight days. We're in a ranch in Caledonia now and it's exactly right.”
“Our Southside house had storm drain flooding in the basement two years running — Racine County has been working on the infrastructure but it wasn't fixed yet. The second time, we had mold in the walls and the furnace sat in standing water and died. Repair estimate was $31,000. USA Home Buyers bought it as-is, knew the local flood situation, no surprises. Closed in seven days.”
“Foreclosure in Racine County moves slow — Wisconsin is judicial, so the bank has to go through Circuit Court. Mine was already 9 months in when I finally called USA Home Buyers. They put a written offer on my West Racine bungalow in 24 hours, closed before the sheriff's sale, and I walked away with enough equity to put a deposit on an apartment in Kenosha.”
