We Buy the House With Its Violations
An open notice, unfinished permit work, failed inspection, or serious repair need does not mean you have to fix the house before asking about a sale. We review the property with you as it is, so you can compare written terms without first repairing, cleaning, or clearing it out.
What Can Affect Closing in Wisconsin?
Wisconsin law limits local rules that make a sale or a buyer's residential occupancy depend on an inspection, repairs, or a related fee. Local authorities can still enforce property standards independently of a sale and enforce state or federal requirements. An existing order or unsafe condition still needs attention. Keep the actual notice so the buyer and closing professional can review the work, deadlines, and any charges attached to the property. Wis. Stat. § 706.22(1)–(3).
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job. That does not erase an existing order or other obligation before closing.

Can I sell a Whitewater house with open code violations?
Usually, yes. Wisconsin limits local rules that make a sale or a buyer’s residential occupancy depend on an inspection, repairs, or a related fee. Local authorities can still enforce property standards separately from a sale, so an existing order or unsafe condition still needs attention.
Do I have to repair or clean before selling to USA Home Buyers?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job. An existing order or obligation does not automatically disappear.
Will selling make a notice, order, or fine go away?
Do not assume it will. Local authorities can enforce property standards independently of a sale. Have the actual notice, deadlines, and any charges tied to the property reviewed.
What happens after I contact you?
We talk with you about the house and notice, then give you a written offer and written terms before you commit. If you choose to move forward, closing is through a title company.
Which closing costs do you pay?
