We buy the house with its violations
You do not need to repair, clean, or clear out the property before selling to us. When you sell to us, we are the buyer, so the repairs become our job, not yours. You do not fix anything — not one thing.
What can affect closing?
Ohio law lets you sell a house with code violations in most cases. If you received a written notice of building or housing-code violations, Ohio Revised Code §5301.253 requires you to tell the buyer about those violations in writing before you sign the sale agreement. When you sell to us, we are the buyer, so share that notice with us in writing before signing.
If the city has already taken you to court over the violations, selling does not automatically end that case. Tell us where things stand so we can talk through the notice and the sale process with you.
What happens next?
We talk with you about the house and what the notice says. We give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You can review the written offer and written terms before you commit; if you decide to sell, closing is through a title company.
