The process

How it works

Three simple steps. No pressure, ever.

1

Address and a few details about your situation. Takes 60 seconds.

2

Get your cash offer

A fair, no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours.

3

Pick your closing day

Close in as little as 7 days — or on your timeline.

Your situation

When the city becomes your landlord

It usually starts with a notice on the door: an overgrown lot, a structure issue, junk vehicles, unpermitted work from years ago. Then come the deadlines, the re-inspections, and fines that can stack up while you figure out how to pay for repairs you never budgeted for. On the open market, many buyers and their lenders will not touch a house with open violations at all.

Wise Revival, founded by Alberto Molina and Kyle Sowell, buys houses with code violations for cash across Arkansas. We price the house in its current condition — open violations included — and make a fair cash offer within 24 hours. You do not pull permits, hire contractors, or bring anything up to code first.

How we handle it

How Wise Revival handles a house with violations

Tell us about the property and, if you know it, what the city has flagged. We will evaluate the house as it stands and give you a straightforward cash offer. If you have received notices with deadlines, mention them — we can close in as little as 7 days, which is often faster than the city's next step.

After closing, the property and its violations are ours to resolve. You walk away without repair bills, permit runs, or another inspection appointment. There are no fees or commissions from us, and no obligation to accept the offer.

Situations we see every week

We buy in situations like yours

 

Structural or safety violations

Foundation, roof, electrical, or plumbing issues flagged by the city — we buy as-is.

Unpermitted work

An addition or conversion done without permits years ago does not scare us off.

Overgrown lot or junk citations

Property-maintenance violations and nuisance notices are common. We still buy.

Fines adding up

Every month of delay can cost more. A fast cash closing stops the meter.

Vacant or condemned-leaning houses

Empty houses draw violations fastest. We buy vacant properties in any condition.

Inherited a house with violations

Arkansas information

Code enforcement on Arkansas houses

In Arkansas, property maintenance rules are enforced by your city or county — overgrown lots, unsafe structures, junk vehicles, and unpermitted work are the usual triggers. Cities can order an unsafe building repaired or demolished, and unpaid abatement costs and fines can become liens recorded against the property.

Those liens are usually settled at closing out of the sale proceeds. Selling as-is does not erase the violations; it hands the job of fixing them to the buyer — which is exactly why owners in this spot often choose a cash buyer.

Important note: The information on this page is general information about Arkansas law and the foreclosure process. It is not legal advice, and it is not a substitute for advice about your specific situation. Wise Revival is a home-buying company, not a law firm, and no one at Wise Revival is your lawyer or your real estate agent. Laws and timelines change, and lenders and courts handle cases differently. If you are behind on your mortgage or in foreclosure, talk to an Arkansas attorney, contact your mortgage servicer, or speak with a HUD-approved housing counselor — that help is free — before you sign anything, including with us.

Good to know

Common questions

 

Can I legally sell a house with open code violations?

Generally, yes — a property can be sold in its current condition, and the buyer takes it from there. If you have questions about specific notices or fines, your city code office or an attorney can confirm the details for your property.

Do I need to fix the violations before you buy?

No. That is the point. We buy as-is, open violations included, and handling them after closing is our job.

What if fines or city liens have already added up?

Tell us what you know when you request an offer. We will look at the full picture and give you a straight answer about what we can do.

How fast can we close?

In as little as 7 days, or on your timeline. If the city gave you a deadline, mention it — we will try to close ahead of it.

What kinds of violations do you accept?

Pretty much all of them — structural, electrical, plumbing, unpermitted work, overgrown lots, and vacant-house issues. If the city flagged it, still ask us.
