We buy houses with code violations as-is
We buy Marion houses with open code notices, repair orders, unfinished work, or unsafe conditions. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Tell us about the house and any notice or deadline you know about. We can talk through the property and the sale with you.
What can affect closing in Illinois
Illinois law lets a municipality pursue repairs or demolition of an unsafe building and recover related charges. An existing order or lien can remain in place after the sale. See 65 ILCS 5/11-31-1.
Some Illinois cities require a certificate or another step before a transfer can be recorded. See 55 ILCS 5/3-5020–3-5021.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
