Let’s begin.

5 Steps You Should Follow to
Sell Your Jacksonville Home with Code Violation

• Begin with Research
• Learn More About the Violation
• Remediate or Sell As-Is
• Look for a Buyer
• It’s Closing Time

Let’s take a look at each of the steps one-by-one.

Begin with Research

The first and most important step is to get started with the research process. Look for legal specifications on Hillsborough County Property Search.

It’s no secret that most of your potential buyers will lookup your house on the Broward Country property appraiser site prior to sending you an offer.

Here’s How You Can Look Up Your Jacksonville Property:

• Head over to Duval County Property Search
• Look for your property by the owner, business name, RE #, or property address.
• Review your property information and look for the key features driving your property’s value.

We’d advise you to pay extra attention to living units, baths/beds, lot size, living area, municipal zone, extra features.

Learn More About the Violation

To make the best possible decision, it’s essential to gather every single piece of detail about the code violation.

Listed below are the most common code violations we’ve come across:

• Illegal Signage
• Debris & Junk
• Obstruction of Views
• Inoperable & Disabled Vehicles
• Overgrown Grass & Vegetation
• Exterior Wall in Disrepair
• Mold & Mildew
• Defective Electrical
• Work Carried Out Without Permits
• And various others!

Know the violation number and name. Learn about its type and the date it was issued.

Lookup for the inspector who found the violation as well as the steps required to remediate it.

You might have definitely received a notice with respect to the violation. Here’s what it looks like:

The notice is definitely helpful. However, it contains little-to-no information about how you can remediate the violation.

And that’s the reason we’d advise you to get in touch with the code enforcement department directly.

Remediate the Violation or Sell As-Is

You might be wondering:

“Should I sell my home as-is or is it better to go with remediating the violation?”

For starters, we’d advise you to get in touch with us immediately and sell your home as-is.

Why?

Let’s take a look at the list of the advantages of selling your home as-is to BuyingJaxHomes:

• Receive an offer within 24 hours
• Sell fast
• No need to conduct any repairs
• No need to clean your house
• No Commission Rates or Hidden Fees

Whereas, if you decide to go with remediating the violation, you will be subject to:

• Stopping the fines
• Sell your home at a probably higher price.
• Receive offers from different homeowners

At BuyingJaxHomes, we’d love nothing more than helping you out throughout the entire process right until the end.

In addition, we’ll be sending your way the highest offer in Jacksonville.

And that’s a promise.

Look for a Buyer

Finding the right buyer might take some time.

And if you want to sell your Jacksonville property with a code violation, we’d advise you to work with a direct buyer or real estate investor.

Find someone who will definitely follow-through during the closing process. 

We’ve seen most buyers throwing off big numbers initially, just to never live up to their end of the deal in the end.

And that’s the reason you should pay a great deal of attention to some of the contract terms like:

• Escrow Deposit
• Closing Date
• Inspection Period
• Financing Contingency

It’s Closing Time

Now, it’s finally time to sell your Jacksonville home with code violations.

Once you receive the cash, you will be transferring the ownership of the house to the buyer.

Here, you will be signing the closing documents and handing the keys over.
