Sell a House With Code Violations — Without Fixing Anything

Code violations usually start small — an overgrown lot, a broken railing, peeling paint. Then come the bigger ones: roof damage, structural issues, unsafe electrical, plumbing problems, illegal additions, or work done without permits years ago. Each notice carries a deadline, many carry daily fines, and the repair quotes from contractors can be staggering. For a vacant house or an inherited property, violations can pile up before you even know they exist.
Listing a house with open violations is hard. Retail buyers get scared off, lenders often refuse to finance, and the city or county does not pause its enforcement just because your house is on the market. You end up choosing between paying for repairs you may not be able to afford and watching fines accumulate.
We buy houses with code violations as-is across the DMV. You do not need to pull permits, hire contractors, or bring anything up to code before the sale. We price the work into our offer honestly, buy the house, and deal with the county or city ourselves afterward. If fines or fees are owed on the property, those can often be settled at closing out of the proceeds.
If violations have already turned into liens or court involvement, tell us — that does not automatically end the conversation, and the sooner we look at it, the more options there usually are.
