What we buy

Sell without fixing the house first

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

We talk with you about the house, its condition, and what the notice says. You can start with what you know; you do not have to finish repairs before talking with us.

What can affect closing

Indiana unsafe-building orders

You can sell a house with an unsafe-building order. A recorded order stays with the property, so the buyer takes it on.

Indiana’s Unsafe Building Law applies in Indianapolis and Marion County, and in other cities, towns, or counties that have adopted it. Where the law applies, if you received an order and have not complied, you must give the buyer full information before transferring or agreeing to transfer the property. Within five days after agreeing to transfer or transferring the interest, the enforcement authority must receive the buyer’s name, address, and phone number and the transfer document. Read Indiana Code §§ 36-7-9-1, -3, and -26–27.

An existing order, court case, or seller obligation still matters before closing. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
