Sell your House with Code Violations

Code violations can turn into a nightmare fast. Maybe the grass grew too high, the roof started leaking, or a tenant left the property in bad shape. Cities issue fines, and if they aren't fixed quickly, the costs stack up and even lead to legal action. For out-of-town owners or anyone without the time and money to make repairs, code violations can be overwhelming.

Listing with an agent isn't always realistic in this situation. Buyers want violations cleared and repairs done before they'll move forward. That means more money out of your pocket, coordinating contractors, and months of waiting while the fines grow.

Selling directly to Carolina Home Relief solves that problem. We buy houses as-is, even with active code violations. You don't need to make repairs, clear the property, or deal with inspectors. We cover standard closing costs, there are no commissions, and once we agree on a price, the sale is certain. Closing can happen in as little as ten days, which means the violations stop being your problem.

Here's an example. Suppose your property could sell for $150,000 after all repairs and violations are cleared. Between fixing the issues, paying commissions, and carrying costs, you might net $120,000—assuming everything goes smoothly and the city doesn't pile on new fines. If you sell to us directly, we might offer $100,000. Yes, it's less, but you don't spend months managing contractors or worrying about penalties. For absentee owners especially, handing the problem off is often worth more than holding on.

If you're dealing with code violations and want a way out, fill out the short form below. We'll look at your situation, walk you through the numbers, and see if a quick, certain sale is the right fit for you.
