Sell a House with Code Violations in Bremerton, WA
You can sell a house with open code violations in Bremerton without finishing the punch list first. KindKey Home Buyers LLC is a principal buyer at 640 1st St SW in Auburn. KindKey is not a real estate agent or broker and does not list the house. KindKey is not the code enforcement office, and this page is not legal advice.
A City of Bremerton notice is not a Kitsap County notice and not a Port Orchard notice. If the house is off base and you have the right to sell it, say so. KindKey does not buy a house you cannot deed.
Bremerton is an incorporated Kitsap County city on Sinclair Inlet. Downtown, Charleston, Manette, East Bremerton, West Bremerton, Kitsap Lake, and Rocky Point are local areas. The naval shipyard shapes the city. Navy Yard City and Gorst are unincorporated neighbors, not Bremerton neighborhoods.
Notices KindKey sees on Bremerton houses
Older houses on steep streets, mid-century ramblers, and houses near the yards are the usual stock. Some need systems work a retail buyer will not fund. Manette is not the same street grid as West Bremerton.
The notice might be about debris, an inoperable vehicle, tall vegetation, an unpermitted room, a shop, or a structure posted after a fire or a stopped repair. Those are different cases. KindKey will not tell you how a hearing examiner will rule. If the notice has a hearing, a fine, or an order to vacate, talk with a Washington attorney before you rely on a sale to solve it.
Port Orchard is across the inlet. Silverdale is north and unincorporated. Use the city that matches the parcel.
Liens, deadlines, and the offer
You do not have to hire the contractor named in the letter before we visit. Photos of the posting and of the condition are enough to start. If the structure is not safe to enter, say so. Until the deed transfers, deadlines on the notice are still yours. Selling does not, by itself, close the case on the day you call.
Sellers include people leaving the shipyard area, heirs who live in King or Pierce County, and owners of older houses that need more repair than they will do. The ferry and SR-16 are how people travel. Neither stops an offer. KindKey does not charge an agent commission or a separate assignment fee. Closing-cost responsibility is stated in the written purchase agreement and can vary. Mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and other obligations can reduce proceeds. The closing agent provides a settlement statement before you close. If the code case is also sitting next to a foreclosure or an estate, ask your attorney about RCW 61.34 before you sign. KindKey does not interpret that law.
