We buy the house with its violations

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You do not have to complete the work listed in a notice before asking about a sale. We review the house and the notice with you so the written offer and terms reflect the property and its situation.

What can affect closing

New Mexico law lets municipalities order dangerous buildings removed and place the reasonable removal cost on the property as a lien (NMSA § 3-18-5). An existing removal order, court case, or lien may affect the sale. Read the New Mexico dangerous-building statute.

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