What We Buy
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. That includes houses with code-violation notices. You do not have to finish repairs before selling to us.
What Can Affect Closing in Wisconsin
Wisconsin law restricts local rules that make a sale or a buyer's residential occupancy depend on an inspection, repairs, or a related fee. Local authorities can still enforce property standards separately, and an existing order or unsafe condition still needs attention. See Wis. Stat. § 706.22.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job. That does not erase an existing order, court case, or seller obligation before closing.
What Happens Next
- Tell us about the house and the notice or order. We can talk through the property and any deadline with you.
- We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
- You get a written offer and clear written terms before you commit. We close through a title company. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
