What we buy
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can sell without starting the listed repairs first.
What can affect closing
Missouri lets cities, towns, villages, and certain counties adopt rules for dangerous buildings. Those local rules can require a house to be vacated, repaired, or demolished. The local ordinance sets the notice and hearing process. See RSMo §67.400.
If required work is not done, the local government may arrange it. The cost can become a special tax bill and property lien, or a contractor's lien. Local inspection or occupancy requirements may also apply. An open notice, order, deadline, or resulting bill can still affect the sale. See RSMo §67.410.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
What happens next
- We talk through the house and any code notice or deadline with you.
- We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
- You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
Local help with a Lebanon code notice
For homes inside city limits, Lebanon's Code Administration handles building-code, permit, inspection, zoning, and land-division questions. Some Lebanon mailing addresses are outside the city. If you're not sure whether the City handles your notice, call us — we'll sort it out with you. Call Code Administration at 417-991-3912. City Hall is at 401 South Jefferson, Lebanon, MO 65536.
Building-permit applications go through Public Works at 1401 W. Commercial Street.
Costs and questions
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate. Compare your own assumptions with the Lebanon home-sale net proceeds calculator. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
What our sellers say
“LISTEN, PROPERTY TAXES GOT TOO HIGH FOR MY FIXED INCOME. SOLD IT TO THEM. WALKED AWAY WITH CASH. GLAD IT'S OVER.”
“Facing foreclosure ... Very stressful time... They handled it professionally and got me out of the debt...”
“no open houses. no realtors tracking dirt in. just a straight cash sale for our house so we could move. Glad it's over.”
Lebanon code-violation questions
Can I sell a Lebanon, Missouri house with code violations?
Yes. We buy houses as-is in Lebanon and Laclede County, including homes with open code notices or repairs still needed. Existing orders, local requirements, and unpaid charges can affect closing.
Do I have to repair the house before selling to you?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
What happens after I share the address and notice?
We'll talk through the house and notice with you. We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
Does an as-is sale clear an open order or tax bill?
No. An as-is sale does not erase an open order or tax bill. We can talk through the notice and what it means for the sale.
Who pays closing costs when I sell to USA Home Buyers?
