What We Buy
We buy houses in Racine and Mount Pleasant with code violations, repair notices, or work that has been left unfinished. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. No listing-agent showings. You can ask about an offer without fixing the house first.
What Can Affect a Sale or Closing?
Yes, usually. Wisconsin 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 from a sale and enforce state or federal requirements.
An existing order or unsafe condition still needs attention, and selling does not automatically cancel an order or deadline. We review the work, deadlines, and charges in the notice as we discuss the sale. See Wis. Stat. § 706.22(1)–(3).
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
What Happens Next?
- We talk with you about the house and any notice, including deadlines or charges it lists.
- We give you a written cash offer within 24 hours, with clear written terms reviewed up front before you commit.
- We review title, payoff, occupancy, seller authority, and the notice with you and the closing professional. If you choose to proceed, we close through a title company. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
