What we buy: Marion houses with code violations

We buy the Marion house with its violations in place. You do not need to finish repairs or clean out the property before selling to us. If you sell to us, we are the buyer, so the repairs become our job, not yours.

Tell us what the notice says and what has happened with the property. We can discuss the house in its current condition and the paperwork you have.

What can affect closing in Ohio?

Usually, yes, you can sell. If you received written notice of building or housing code violations, Ohio Rev. Code § 5301.253 requires you to tell the buyer about those violations in writing before you sign the sale agreement. When you sell to us, we are the buyer.

If the city has already taken you to court over the violations, selling the house does not automatically end that case. Tell us about the notice and any court papers when we discuss the property.

What happens next

  1. 1. Talk through the house and notice

    Call or use the form. Tell us the address, the condition, and what you know about the notice or any court case.

  2. 2. Review written terms

    We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get the written offer and terms before you commit, so you can compare them with your other options.

  3. 3. Close through a title company

    If you accept, closing is through a title company. A city court case still follows its own process and is not automatically ended by the sale.

Marion, OH illustrative home sale net proceeds estimate

The sale price is only the starting point. What matters is what you keep after your payoff, repairs, fees, and other costs come out. That's your net proceeds.

The home value starts with Zillow’s typical value for the area. Your house may be worth more or less. You can change the value and every cost below. Adjust anything you know, including your payoff, repair or credit risk, cleanout cost, agent commission, and how long you expect to carry the property.

See what you'd actually walk away with.

Your starting home-value estimate may come from a public source when one is available. You can edit that estimate and each cost input above; your property's actual value and closing costs may differ.

Choose the condition that best fits your home, then update the value, mortgage payoff, and cost inputs with what you know. The local-cost input is an editable cost reserve, not a verified local tax rate.
