Sell a House With Code Violations in Exeter, CA
Open code violations make a house hard to finance and hard to insure, which scares off most buyers. House Junkies buys Exeter houses with open violations, red tags, and unpaid code fees as-is, and handles the city process ourselves after we close.
Exeter sits in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada east of Visalia, known locally for its historic downtown murals and a smaller, tighter-knit housing market than the larger Valley cities.
Exeter is known locally for its collection of large outdoor murals depicting the area's agricultural history, spread throughout downtown. House Junkies has bought a house in Exeter recently, including 425 W Willow St, and you can see what we paid below.
Code Enforcement in Exeter
Inside Exeter city limits, code problems are handled by the City of Exeter.
Just outside city limits, it is Tulare County RMA Code Compliance at (559) 624-7060 that handles code problems instead of the City.
Code enforcement costs that go unpaid can turn into a lien on the property. A lien does not stop a sale. It gets paid off out of the sale at closing, through escrow, before you get your money. Our page on selling a house with liens explains how that works.
Our licensed crew, House Junkies Construction (CA LIC#1077593), pulls permits and works through city processes like these on every house we renovate. That is why we can buy a Exeter house with open violations without asking you to fix anything first. See our full page on selling a house with code violations.
