What we buy
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. That includes Sedalia and Pettis County homes with code notices, serious disrepair, or unfinished work. You can compare selling as-is without first repairing the house or cleaning it out. Tell us what the notice says and what you know about the property.
What can affect closing
Missouri law lets cities, towns, villages, and first-class or charter counties adopt dangerous-building ordinances. Depending on the local ordinance, a building may have to be vacated, repaired, or demolished. The notice and hearing steps depend on the local ordinance; state law has separate provisions for some larger cities.
If an owner does not do required work, local government may arrange it. The cost can become a special tax bill and a lien against the property, or a contractor may claim a lien for the work. Local inspection or occupancy requirements may also apply. An as-is agreement does not erase an open order, deadline, tax bill, or lien.
Share the notices with us so the buyer and closing professional can work through repairs, deadlines, and closing requirements. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job. That does not erase an existing order, court case, or seller obligation before closing.
What happens next
- Talk with us about the house, the notice, any deadline, and the condition. If you have inspection reports, permit records, or lien or court papers, share those too.
- We review the property and the information you have. You do not need to arrange repairs or a cleanout before asking about a sale.
- Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.

Code-violation questions for Sedalia sellers
Can I sell a Sedalia house with an open code notice?
A sale may be possible, but the notice, local requirements, and title items can affect what must happen before closing. Share the notice and any deadlines so the buyer and closing professional can review them.
Does an as-is sale clear an order, fine, or lien?
No. An as-is agreement does not erase an existing order, court case, deadline, tax bill, or lien. Ask the office identified on the notice what remains open, and have the title professional review any lien or closing requirement.
What should I share when I ask for an offer?
Start with the property address and whatever you have: the code notice, inspection report, permit history, deadlines, and any lien or court communication. You can begin with the facts you know.
