Can you sell a house with code violations in Kirkwood, MO?
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 Kirkwood houses with code violations and open notices. The notice and any city deadlines still matter; we'll talk through what it says with you.
What we buy
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Tell us what the notice says, what deadline is coming up, and what you want to do with the house. We'll talk through the property and the notice with you.
What can affect closing
Missouri law lets cities and some counties adopt dangerous-building ordinances. Under a local ordinance, an unsafe building can be required to be vacated, repaired, or demolished. The local rules set the notice and hearing process. See RSMo §67.400 and §67.410.
If required work is not done, the city may arrange it and add the cost as a special tax bill and property lien. A contractor may also have a lien for its work. The notice's deadline and any hearing date matter while the sale is being worked out.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
What happens next
We'll talk about the house, the notice, and any deadline or hearing date. You can share the notice with us and we'll go through it together.
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.
