What we buy
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
What can affect closing in Ohio
If you received a written notice of building or housing code violations, Ohio law requires you to tell the buyer about those violations in writing before you sign the sale agreement. That rule is in Ohio Revised Code §5301.253.
If the city has already taken you to court over the violations, selling does not automatically end that case. Call us and we'll walk through the notice and what has happened so far.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
What happens next
- We talk through the house and notice, including title, payoff, occupancy, and who has authority to sell.
- 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. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
