We buy the house with its violations
You do not need to fix the listed problems or clean out the property before selling to us. When we buy the house, the repairs become our job, not yours. You can compare a written offer with the cost and work of making repairs before a conventional sale.
What can affect closing in Ohio?
Usually, yes: you can sell an Ohio house with open building or housing code violations. If you received a written notice of those violations, Ohio law requires you to tell the buyer about them in writing before you sign the sale agreement. That rule is in Ohio Revised Code § 5301.253. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job, not yours.
One thing to know: if the city has already taken you to court over the violations, selling does not automatically end that case. Tell us about it when we talk through the house and notice.
What happens next
Call or send the address and tell us what the house needs and what the notice says. We'll talk through the property and notice, then give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You see the written offer and terms before you commit. If you choose to move ahead, closing is through a title company.
Call 888-274-5006 or use the form. You do not need to make repairs before starting the conversation.
Compare the possible net proceeds
Use the Norwalk home-sale net proceeds calculator to compare estimated listing proceeds, repair costs, and other assumptions with a cash offer. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.
What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Howard worked at Home Savings Bank for twenty-eight years. When he retired, we talked about downsizing for two years before we actually did it. The property tax on our Canfield Road house was $3,800 a year, and with both of us on fixed incomes that added up. USA Home Buyers closed in seven days. We're in a smaller place in Boardman with half the maintenance.”
“I got behind on payments after losing my warehouse job. The lender filed in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court and I didn't know what to do. USA Home Buyers explained the Ohio judicial foreclosure timeline, made a written offer the next morning, and we closed before the case moved to summary judgment. I walked away with money instead of losing everything.”
“The house on Michigan Avenue had been in Clara's family since 1951. When the waterline under the street broke, water backed up through the foundation and we had standing water in the basement for four days. Mold, foundation damage, HVAC destroyed. We're both past seventy and we couldn't put $40,000 into a house we'd been thinking about leaving anyway. Closed in ten days.”
