Sell Your House with Code Violations.

How Code Violations Can Drain Your Bank Account

You got a notice in the mail. Or maybe someone from the city showed up at your door. Your property has code violations. You need to fix them. Now.

Maybe it's tall grass. Or broken windows. Or a fence that's falling down. Or structural issues the city found during an inspection.

Here's what happens next. The city gives you a deadline. Fix it in 30 days. Or 60 days. Or pay fines. Those fines add up fast. $500 per violation. $1,000. Sometimes $2,000 or more. And they keep coming every month until you fix it.

Common Code Violations That Cost Money

I've seen all of these. Here's what they cost:

• Tall grass or weeds: $200 to $500 per violation. They check every month.
• Broken windows or doors: $500 to $1,000. Plus the cost to fix them.
• Structural problems: $1,000 to $2,000 per violation. These are serious.
• Unsafe conditions: $500 to $1,500. Things like exposed wiring, missing railings, or damaged steps.
• Unpermitted work: $1,000 to $5,000. If you did work without permits, the city wants it fixed or removed.
• Abandoned property issues: $500 to $2,000. If the house looks vacant, cities crack down hard.

These fines don't stop. They keep coming every month. I've seen homeowners pay $5,000, $10,000, even $20,000 in fines before they finally sell.

Why Traditional Buyers Won't Touch Properties With Violations

Here's the problem. Most buyers want move-in ready homes. They don't want to deal with code violations. They don't want to pay fines. They don't want to fix problems the city found.

So your house sits. You can't sell it. You keep paying fines. The violations get worse. It's a cycle that drains your money.

Banks won't finance properties with active code violations. So even if you find a buyer, the deal falls through. You're stuck.

How I Handle Code Violations

I buy properties with code violations. All of them. I handle the fines at closing. You don't pay a penny.

Here's my process:

1. You tell me about the violations. What did the city find? How much are the fines? What needs fixing?
2. I make an offer. It accounts for the violations and fines. You know exactly what you're getting.
3. We close fast. Usually in 7 to 14 days. I pay off the fines at closing. You get cash.
4. I handle the fixes. After closing, I deal with the city. I fix what needs fixing. You're done.

No more fines. No more city notices. No more stress. Just cash in your pocket and a clean slate.

Real Example: $15,000 in Fines

Last year, a homeowner called me. His house had been vacant for 6 months. The city found multiple violations. Tall grass. Broken windows. Structural issues.

The fines? $2,500 per month. For 6 months. That's $15,000. Plus he still owed on the mortgage. Plus property taxes. Plus insurance.

I bought his house. Paid off the fines at closing. Gave him cash. He walked away with money instead of debt.

That's what I do. I solve problems other buyers won't touch.
