What we buy
Sell the house with its code violations
You do not have to repair the violations before selling to us. We review the house in its current condition and talk through the code issue with you.
What can affect closing
Idaho nuisance assessments and unpaid charges
Idaho law lets a city remove a nuisance, charge the responsible party for the work, and assess the cost against the property. If that assessment is not paid within 30 days after the notice is mailed, the city can certify it to the county tax collector, where it is collected with city taxes.
An open city order or unpaid assessment can still affect closing.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
