What we buy
We buy houses with code violations as-is. You don't have to repair, clean, or clear out the house to sell to us. Tell us about the property and any notice or order so we can discuss the house and your sale plans.
What can affect closing in Vermont
One Vermont rule can add steps before a transfer. Under 24 V.S.A. § 5003(c)(11)–(12), where a municipality has adopted these housing rules, the owner of a house declared unfit must give the buyer a true copy of the order and notify the enforcing officer in writing of the intended sale, unless the unsafe conditions have been corrected.
A buyer who receives the order remains bound by it. The enforcing municipality can also order the house vacated or start demolition proceedings.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
