Sell a house with code violations

Code violations, condemnation notices and city fines make a house hard to sell the normal way, since most buyers' lenders won't touch it.

How we can help

Code violations, condemnation notices and city fines make a house hard to sell the normal way, since most buyers' lenders won't touch it. We buy houses with open code cases as-is and deal with the repairs and the city ourselves after closing.

We buy in Chattanooga, Hamilton County and North Georgia, including Rossville, Fort Oglethorpe, Ringgold, LaFayette, Chickamauga, Dalton and Trenton.

Three ways we can buy your house

1 · All cash, as-isNo repairs, no cleaning, no showings, no commissions. You pick the closing date.
2 · Seller financingA down payment, then monthly payments with interest. Often a higher price and income every month.
3 · Take over paymentsIf you have a mortgage and not much equity, we may be able to take over your monthly payments. We'll explain how it works first.

How we calculate your cash offer

No mystery. Here's the same math every serious cash buyer uses.

1 · After-repair valueWhat the house would sell for fixed up, based on recent nearby sales of similar homes.
2 · Minus repairsWhat it will really cost to bring it to that condition: roof, systems, kitchen, flooring, paint.
3 · Minus costs and marginHolding costs, closing costs, and a margin for our risk. The result is our offer, and we'll walk you through the numbers.

Example only: a house worth $200,000 fixed up that needs $25,000 of work might bring an offer around $110,000–$125,000. Every house is different.

Questions

Do I have to fix the violations first?

No. We buy as-is and take on the repairs after closing.

What about the fines?

Outstanding fines or liens are usually paid from the sale proceeds at closing.

The house is condemned.

We still look at it. Tell us what the notice says.

How fast?

Usually a couple of weeks once the title search is done.
