The fines don't stop while you think about it. They pile up, they add new ones, and every month takes another bite out of what the property is worth to you. We can buy it quickly, violations and all, so you stop the bleeding and keep your equity.
Yes, a sale may be possible with an open code violation. We buy houses as-is in Marshalltown, Iowa, and throughout Marshall County. Tell us about the house and the notice; we can review the situation and discuss a written cash offer.
Call 888-274-5006 to talk about the property, or use the form to request an offer.
Tell us where the property is. We will call, ask practical questions, and put the offer in writing if it is a fit.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
You can ask us to review the house before paying for repairs or a cleanout. Tell us what the notice says, when it was issued, any deadline or court date, and what work the city or county says is needed. We will talk through the property as it stands.
Iowa law lets cities and counties require an owner to abate a nuisance or remove, repair, or dismantle a dangerous building. If the owner does not act within a reasonable time after notice, the city or county may do the work, assess its cost against the property, and collect that cost like a property tax.
For abandoned or unsafe buildings, a city or county can ask a court to order the problem fixed. A court may appoint a receiver, and the receiver's costs can become a lien. Iowa also requires cities with populations of 15,000 or more to have a housing code that includes rental inspections; if the house is rented, ask the city whether an inspection or permit requirement applies to that property.
Outstanding property assessments and liens may need to be resolved at closing. Selling does not automatically erase an existing court order, case, deadline, or enforcement requirement. Share the notices and court papers so the buyer and closing professional can account for them.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Iowa real estate transfer tax.
This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes. Existing orders, assessments, and liens still need to be addressed; a sale does not automatically cancel them.
