What we buy
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Tell us about the notice and the condition of the house. You can ask about a sale without first finishing the repair or cleanout work listed in the notice.
What can affect closing in Missouri?
Missouri law allows cities, towns, villages, and certain counties to adopt dangerous-building rules. Those rules can require a building to be vacated, repaired, or demolished. The details depend on the local ordinance and notice; Missouri has separate provisions for some larger cities. See RSMo §67.400.
If required work is not done, a local government may arrange it. In the applicable process, the cost can become a special tax bill and property lien, or a contractor’s lien. Local inspection or occupancy requirements may also apply. See RSMo §67.410.
An as-is agreement does not erase an open order or tax bill. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job. An existing order, court case, statutory deadline, or property bill is not automatically canceled by the sale.
