What we buy: the house with its violations
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You do not have to fix the items named in a notice or make the property listing-ready before asking about an offer. Share what you know about the house and the violation, and we can review those details with you.
What can affect closing in Illinois
An open violation does not automatically mean you cannot sell. Illinois law allows a municipality to pursue repairs, demolition, and related charges for an unsafe building. See 65 ILCS 5/11-31-1. The notice, any court order or deadline, and title or lien status can affect what must be resolved for closing. Share the paperwork early so the closing professional can check the requirements for the actual property.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
That does not automatically remove an existing notice, order, court case, lien, or deadline. The written terms and closing review still matter.
What happens next
Tell us the property address and what the notice says, including any inspection, correction deadline, permit item, or court date listed. We can talk through the house and the notice with you; you do not need to repair or clean it before asking for an offer.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You receive the written offer and written terms before you commit; closing is through a title company. The notice, orders, liens, and title details still matter to the closing.
