Open code violations, permit issues, or other legal complications can make a property feel impossible to sell the traditional way. We buy houses with code violations and legal issues as-is — you don’t need to resolve them first.
Because we’re not financing through a traditional mortgage lender, code violations and legal complications that would stall a conventional sale usually aren’t a dealbreaker for us.
If code violations or a legal issue are making you think your property is unsellable, reach out — we’ve likely dealt with a similar situation before.
The City of Las Vegas, Henderson and Clark County each run their own code enforcement, and an open case can involve anything from junk vehicles and overgrown yards to unsafe structures. Unpaid fines can grow and may eventually be recorded against the property. Ask the agency for a copy of the case file so you know exactly what is open before you talk with any buyer.
Enclosed patios, garages turned into bedrooms, added casitas and water heaters swapped without a permit are common finds in valley homes. A financed buyer's lender or appraiser may balk, and a retail buyer often asks you to legalize the work first. We look at what is there, account for it in our offer, and buy the house the way it stands.
A title company generally needs every owner of record to sign, or a court order, before a sale can close. When siblings, former partners or relatives disagree, the process can stall for months. Each party should have their own attorney, and a written offer gives everyone something concrete to discuss. Our Las Vegas probate guide covers inherited homes in more depth.
A title search often turns up more than the mortgage: contractor liens, old judgments, HOA balances or delinquent county taxes. When there is enough equity, these items are commonly paid out of the sale proceeds at closing, so you don't need cash in hand to clear them. Read more about how we handle tax delinquencies and liens on a property.
We buy property; we don't give legal advice. If you are dealing with a pending lawsuit, a lis pendens, a condemnation order, a contested deed or criminal nuisance proceedings, please speak with a licensed Nevada real estate attorney before signing anything. Once you understand your position, we can talk about whether a sale fits, including for a vacant house with violations attached to it.

I was pleasantly surprised and pleased when dealing with Chris at Sell my House Pro. He managed the process of buying my house on Celeste that already had a reverse mortgage. I would highly recommend Chris if you have a house that you are ready to sell.
This entire team is a class act. Their follow up is prompt and flexibility and transparency is admirable. They are to the point without being rushed, rude or indecisive. Looking forward to working with them again.
Chris is very good in what he do, very helpful, friendly and very easy to talk too.. Thank you Chris till our next deal -Richie
Respectful buyers
