Frequently Asked Questions
Clear, straightforward answers about selling your Pennsylvania property for cash.
How fast can I get a cash offer, and how soon can we close?
We typically make a fair cash offer the same day, but no longer than within 24 hours of seeing your property. Because we present a cash offer and it doesn’t rely on bank financing, we can usually close in as little 14 days, or on the timeline works best for you.
How do you determine the cash offer for my house?
We keep it completely transparent. We look at the location of your property, the current condition, the cost of necessary repairs, and the recent sales values of comparable homes in your specific Pennsylvania neighborhood. We factor all this in to arrive at a fair, win-win price.
Am I obligated to accept your offer once I reach out?
Absolutely zero obligation. You tell us about your property, we do our homework, and we give you a fair cash offer. From there, it is 100% your decision. No pressure, no harassment, and no heavy sales tactics.
What types of properties do you buy across NEPA?
We buy single-family homes, townhouses, duplexes, multi-family properties, manufactured homes, and even vacant land throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania, regardless of their size or shape.
How is a cash offer different from a traditional real estate agent?
Agents list properties and typically charge a 5-6% commission if they find a buyer after months of showings. We are a local home-buying company. Cash buyers, cover the closing costs, and buy as-is. There are no commissions, no financing contingencies, just total simplicity.
Are there any hidden fees, closing costs, or commissions?
None. You won’t pay any agent commissions, and standard closing costs are covered. You are only responsible to satisfy and liens or back taxes, to make title clear.
Do I need to clean the house or make repairs before selling?
No cleaning, no painting, and no repairs. We buy houses completely “as-is.” Whether the house needs minor cosmetic updates or a full gut rehab, we handle all the work after we buy it. You don’t even have to sweep the floors.
What if my house is filled with junk or things I don’t want?
Take what you want and leave the rest for us. Whether it’s old furniture, years of accumulated clutter, or trash, we will handle the cleanout.
What if I owe back property taxes or have municipal liens?
We deal with properties involving tax liens and back taxes frequently. From the cash offer, the title company will use the proceeds of the sale to pay off those debts at closing so you can walk away with a clean slate.
How are you different from national “iBuyers” or out-of-state investors?
We are a local, family-owned business right here in Northeastern Pennsylvania. When you call us, you aren’t routed to an out-of-state call center. You deal directly with our local team who knows the NEPA market inside and out.
Will I have a single dedicated person handling my sale from start to finish?
Yes. Unlike large corporate buyers where you get bounced between departments or call centers, you will work directly with one local team member who handles your first phone call straight through to closing.
What do you mean when you say you “hold my hand” through the process?
Selling a house can be stressful, especially in complex situations like probate or foreclosure. We don’t just hand you a contract and disappear. We coordinate with the title company and keep you updated every step of the way.
Can we meet in person before I decide to sell?
We encourage it! Because we are local to NEPA, we prefer to walk the property with you, shake your hand, and answer your questions face-to-face.
Can you buy my house if it is currently in probate or I inherited it?
Yes. We have extensive experience navigating Pennsylvania probate and inherited properties. We can work alongside your estate attorney and make the sale process smooth.
Do you buy houses with difficult or non-paying tenants?
Absolutely. If you are a tired landlord dealing with bad tenants, late rent, or a tricky eviction process, we can take over. We buy tenant-occupied properties as-is, meaning you don’t have to kick anyone out or deal with the headache—we handle it after closing.
What if I need extra time to move out after the sale closes?
We can customize flexibility into an updated agreement. If you need a few extra days or weeks after closing to pack up your personal belongings, we can arrange a flexible post-closing occupancy timeline to help your transition. We need you to communicate with us so we can work with you to achieve your desired outcome.
Do you buy properties with severe damage (fire, mold, foundation issues)?
Yes. We can buy houses with fire damage, water damage, mold, bad roofs, and some foundation issues.
What specific areas of Pennsylvania do you buy houses in?
We primarily focus on Northeastern and Central Pennsylvania. This includes Luzerne County, Lackawanna County, Schuylkill County, Columbia County, and surrounding areas. From Scranton and Wilkes-Barre down to Hazleton and the Coal Region, we are your local buyers. Essentially anywhere in the 570 area code we can handle.
What if I live out of state but need to sell a house in Pennsylvania?
No problem. We work with many out-of-state owners who inherited property or relocated. The title company handles the transaction remotely, so you never have to travel back to PA.
Do I need to clean or tidy up before you see the house?
Not at all. There is no need to clean, paint, or fix anything. We want to see the house in its exact current state so we can make an accurate, fair cash offer.
