What we buy
We buy Westminster and Carroll County houses as they stand, including homes with open notices, repair orders, or unsafe conditions. You don't need to repair, clean, or empty the house before you call. We'll talk through what is happening with the property and any notice you received.
What can affect closing
Maryland lets counties adopt building codes and set enforcement remedies and penalties. Cities can remove nuisances and inspect and require repairs to plumbing, wiring, gas, water, and sewer lines. Local rules set repair deadlines and fines, and an existing order or court case may have its own next step. See Maryland Code, Local Government §§ 10-317, 10-328, 5-209, and 5-211: county building-code enforcement, county nuisance abatement, municipal nuisance removal, and municipal building codes and required repairs.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
What happens next
Tell us about the house and the notice. We'll talk through the property, what the notice says, and any dates you're concerned about.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.

Questions about selling with code violations
Do I need to repair code violations before selling to you?
No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
What our sellers say
“The house in Allentown was sitting empty for 2 years after my dad passed. getting code violations from the city. sold it to them for cash, no cleanup needed.”
“The house had some foundation issues and hadn't been updated since the 80s. I got quotes from contractors and the repair costs were going to eat everything I'd make listing it. USA Home Buyers bought it as-is. I'm glad I called.”
