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 and what work it lists. You do not have to start repairs or clear out the house before asking about a sale.
What can affect closing
Texas cities enforce property rules that can cover tall grass, junk, trash, and dangerous or substandard buildings. A city usually sends a notice with a deadline. If the problem is not addressed, the city may issue a citation or do the work and bill the owner. To collect the cost, a city may file a lien with the county clerk. The lien stays with the property until paid and is usually paid from the sale at closing. For a substandard building, an order may require repairs or demolition; selling the house is also an option, but the sale does not automatically end an open order or court case. Read the notice for the deadline and share it so the title company can check for liens and open orders. Texas Local Government Code § 214.001 · Texas Health and Safety Code § 342.007(b).
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
That does not erase an existing order, court case, or seller obligation before closing.
