What we buy
We buy houses with code violations as they stand. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We can talk through the condition of the house and the notice without asking you to start repairs first.
What can affect closing in Tennessee
Tennessee law lets cities adopt procedures for buildings considered unfit for people to live in or use. Under an applicable local process, after notice and a hearing, a city may order repairs or closure. If repairs cannot be made at a reasonable cost, it may order demolition. If the owner does not comply, the city may do the work and charge the cost to the property as a lien, collected with property taxes. Unpaid charges carry the same penalties and interest as delinquent property taxes. Selling does not erase an existing lien. Read the Tennessee municipal slum-clearance explanation from MTAS.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
An existing order, court case, or seller obligation before closing is not automatically canceled by a sale.

- We talk with you about the house, its condition, and what the notice or order says.
