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.
If you’ve received a notice, tell us what it says and we’ll talk through the house, the work, and any deadline with you.
What can affect closing in Michigan
Michigan’s dangerous-building law allows a municipality, after the required notice and hearing, to order a building demolished, made safe, or maintained. If an owner does not comply, the municipality may arrange the work and seek repayment. Unpaid costs may become a property lien after required notice and recording steps. An existing order, court case, deadline, or seller obligation before closing still matters. See MCL 125.540–125.541 and MCL 125.541(1)–(6).
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
