We buy houses with code violations

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can tell us about the work the notice calls for without making the house ready for a retail listing first.

We buy houses in Red Wing and Goodhue County, Minnesota. Share the address, the condition, and any notice or repair order you have; we can discuss an as-is cash offer without asking you to finish repairs first.

What can affect closing in Minnesota

Minnesota has a specific process for hazardous-building proceedings. Under Minnesota Statutes section 463.17, a written order must describe necessary repairs, give a reasonable time to comply, and set out the court-enforcement step. This applies to the statutory hazardous- building process; the actual notice tells you which requirements and deadlines apply to your property.

If a court judgment is not followed by its deadline, section 463.21 allows the municipality to complete or correct the work and recover its cost. The cost may become a lien against the property or be recovered by judgment against the owner. An existing order, court case, lien, or deadline is not automatically erased by a sale.

When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.

For a Red Wing property, building permits and inspections for work can matter too. The city says its online system lets owners apply for permits, check permit or inspection status, and schedule inspections; inspection requests require 24 hours' notice. That information is about the work and its permit, not a finding about the status of a particular house.
