"I know the Kent market because I live and invest here."

I see Ranch and Split-Level homes dealing with deteriorating galvanized plumbing and other common issues in the area. These problems can deter traditional buyers and rack up costs. Unlike Howard Hanna, I buy as-is, saving you $16,500 in realtor fees and countless hours in repairs. Let me handle the headaches, and you walk away with cash.

Kent Property Laws & Avoiding Costs

Navigating property laws in Ohio can be complex. For Kent homeowners, understanding the Ohio Revised Code (ORC) Title 53 (Property) is crucial, especially when dealing with inherited homes or probate. If you've inherited a home in Kent, learn about your options at our Probate & Inheritance help page.

Property taxes in Kent are assessed by the Portage County Auditor, and staying current is vital to avoid liens. Furthermore, maintaining compliance with local building codes, especially for older Ranch and Split-Level homes, is paramount. Neglected vacant properties can quickly become a liability, attracting code violations. See how we help with vacant property solutions.
