Sell a House With Code Violations
Open code violations can make a house hard to finance and hard to insure, which shrinks the buyer pool fast. We buy these properties as-is and deal with the city or county process ourselves.
Quick Facts
- •A red-tagged property generally can't be occupied until the violation is resolved, which can force a fast decision.
- •Open code violations often show up in a title search and can complicate financing for a traditional buyer.
- •Unresolved violations can turn into liens recorded by the city or county against the property.
- •You can sell a house with open permits or violations, it usually just narrows your buyer pool to cash buyers.
- •Because House Junkies Construction deals with local code enforcement regularly, we can evaluate violation properties realistically.
