What we buy
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can ask about selling without first fixing the listed items, cleaning, or clearing out the house. Tell us what the notice says and what work has already been done so we can talk through the property with you.
What can affect closing in Indiana?
You can sell a house with an unsafe-building order. If the order has been recorded, it stays with the property, so the buyer takes it on.
Indiana's Unsafe Building Law applies in Indianapolis and Marion County, and in other cities, towns, or counties that have adopted it. It does not automatically apply everywhere in Indiana. For a New Castle notice, confirm with the authority handling it whether the law applies to that property.
Where the law applies, an owner who received an order and has not complied must give the buyer full information before transferring or agreeing to transfer the property. Within five days after agreeing to transfer the property or transferring the interest, the enforcement authority must receive the buyer's name, address, and phone number, along with the transfer document. Bring the notice and any court papers to the closing professional early so the applicable requirements and restrictions can be checked.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job. That does not automatically erase an existing order, court case, or obligation before closing.
Read the official Indiana Code §§ 36-7-9-1 and 36-7-9-3 on where the law applies and §§ 36-7-9-26 and 36-7-9-27 on transfers.
What happens next
- We talk through the house, what the notice says, and any related court papers or repair history.
- We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You receive the written offer and written terms before you commit.
- If you choose to accept, closing is through a title company. The notice and any court restrictions still need to be checked.
