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 us to review the house before taking on repairs or clearing it out.
When you sell to us, written offer and written terms come before you commit; closing is through a title company.
What can affect closing in West Virginia?
West Virginia law lets a city adopt an ordinance for unsafe, unsanitary or dangerous buildings. Under West Virginia Code §8-12-16, when a city adopts such an ordinance, its code-enforcement agency can give written notice to repair, close, remove or demolish the building. The city may then do the work itself and file a lien for its costs; a municipal court may also put the building into receivership.
For Wood County, a separate state law gives the county commission similar authority. Under West Virginia Code §7-1-3ff, after notice and a chance for a hearing, a county commission can order repairs or demolition and impose daily penalties. It can hire contractors and seek a lien for the costs.
An as-is sale does not cancel a notice, deadline, court order or lien. Send us the notice so the buyer and closing professional can work through the repairs, deadlines and closing requirements. 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. The current notice and any related records still matter.

We talk through the house and the notice with you. You can start with the address and what you know; if you have the full notice, later letters or other records, share them so we can discuss what may affect the sale.

Parkersburg code-violation questions
Can I sell a Parkersburg house with code violations?
A sale may be possible, but the property’s notice, any court order and any liens matter. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Parkersburg and Wood County. Share the notice so we can review the house and the issues that may affect closing.
Does an as-is sale erase a code order, deadline or lien?
No. An as-is sale does not by itself erase an order, court case, deadline or lien. West Virginia law gives cities and county commissions ways to order work and seek liens for costs. Ask the government office that issued the notice and the title company what remains open for this property.
What should I share when I ask about a code notice?
Start with the property address and what you know. If you have the full notice, later letters, court papers, lien information or permit records, share those too so we can talk through the actual situation.
