What we buy

We buy the Tiffin house with its violations in place. You don't need to finish repairs or clean out the property before selling to us. If you sell to us, we are the buyer, so the repairs become our job, not yours.

Tell us what the notice says and what has happened with the property. We can discuss the house in its current condition and the paperwork you have.

What can affect closing

Ohio law usually allows a home with open code violations to be sold. Under Ohio Revised Code §5301.253, if you received a written notice of building or housing code violations, you must tell the buyer about those violations in writing before you sign the sale agreement.

One thing to know: if the city has already taken you to court over the violations, selling the house does not automatically end that case. Tell us about the notice and any court papers when we talk.

What happens next

  1. Call or use the form to tell us the address, what the house needs, and what the city sent you.
  2. We'll talk through the property and notice, then give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
  3. You'll have the written offer and written terms before you commit. If you accept, closing is through a title company.

Compare the costs

Before deciding, compare a direct offer with what a listing could leave you after repairs and selling costs. The Tiffin home-sale calculator can help you put those estimates side by side.
