What we buy

We buy Sturgeon Bay and Door County houses with code violations, repair needs, or unfinished work as they stand. You don’t have to fix, clean, or clear out the house before selling to us.

What can affect closing in Wisconsin

Wisconsin law limits local rules that make a home sale or a buyer’s occupancy depend on an inspection, repairs, or a related fee. You can sell without making a local inspection or repair a condition of the sale or the buyer moving in. Local authorities can still enforce property standards separately from a sale and enforce state or federal requirements.

An existing order, unsafe condition, court case, deadline, or seller obligation still needs attention before closing. Tell us what the notice says and we’ll talk through it with you. The rule is in Wis. Stat. §706.22(1)–(3).

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