What we see most in Philadelphia

A lot of the houses we buy here come with something attached. A deed that was never changed after someone passed. Violations from Licenses and Inspections. Water bills that turned into a lien. A sheriff sale date getting close. A house that has sat empty since the family moved out.

None of that stops a sale with us. We buy the house as it stands, and we deal with what is on it.

Whatever is going on with the house

Not sure the house is worth it?

Ask anyway. We have bought houses here that needed everything, and houses that needed nothing. It costs you nothing to find out, and you are not signing up for anything by asking.

Where we buy in Philadelphia and around it

Philadelphia is where we buy more houses than anywhere else, and we buy right across the city. Row homes in Kensington, Point Breeze and Frankford. Twins and singles in the Northeast, Mayfair and Somerton. West Philadelphia, Germantown, Olney, Fishtown, South Philadelphia, the river wards, Overbrook, Roxborough and Manayunk. If it is inside the city limits, it is a house we will look at.

We also buy in the counties around the city, and plenty of sellers reach us from there rather than from Philadelphia itself.

Montgomery County, or Montco, from Norristown and Pottstown through Abington, Cheltenham, Lansdale, Willow Grove, Ambler and Conshohocken.

Delaware County, or Delco, including Chester, Upper Darby, Darby, Lansdowne, Ridley and Media.

Bucks County, from Bensalem and Levittown up through Doylestown, which is where our office sits.

The house does not have to be inside Philadelphia for us to buy it. If you are not sure whether your address is somewhere we work, tell us the address and we will say yes or no straight away.

Selling to us, or listing with an agent

Both are real options and one is not automatically better. It depends on what the house needs and how much time you have.

Listing usually gets you the strongest price when the house is in good shape, when you can afford to make repairs first, and when waiting for the right buyer is not a problem. You pay a commission out of the sale and you carry the house until it closes.

Selling to us trades some of that price for speed and certainty. No repairs, no cleanout, no showings, no commission from us, and we pay the closing costs. You pick the date, and we are not waiting on a lender to approve anything.

Where people usually come to us: the house needs work they cannot fund, a listing already ran and expired, there is a deadline they cannot move, the house is occupied or full, or they live somewhere else and cannot manage the process from a distance.

If listing is the better route for you, we will tell you that.

Here's what happens when you reach out.

1

Tell us about the house

Share the address, call, or text. A few quick questions, you're not signing up for anything.

2

Talk to someone on our team

We look at the house and comparable sales, then walk you through a clear cash offer, usually within 24 hours.

3

Close when you're ready

If you like it, you choose the date, in many cases in as little as 14 days once title is clear.

Can you buy a Philadelphia house that needs work?

Yes. Most of the houses we buy here need something, and some need everything. We buy as-is, so you are not fixing a roof or clearing a basement in order to sell. What the house needs becomes ours to handle after closing.

How fast can you close on a house in Philadelphia?

You choose the date. Where title on a Philadelphia property comes back clear, closing in about two weeks is realistic, and we hold a later date open just as easily. No lender sits on our side of the table, so nothing but your own timing sets the pace.

Do I have to clean the house out before I sell it?

Leave it where it is. Row home basements, an attic holding forty years of things, a garage nobody has opened. Take what matters to you and shut the door on the rest. Clearing the house is ours to arrange and ours to pay for after closing.

What neighborhoods in Philadelphia do you buy in?

All of them. Kensington, Point Breeze, Frankford, Mayfair, the Northeast, West Philadelphia, Germantown, Olney, Fishtown, South Philadelphia, the river wards, Roxborough and Manayunk. Row homes, twins and singles. If the address is inside the city limits, it is one we will look at.

Do you buy houses in Montgomery County and Delaware County?

Yes. We buy across Montco and Delco as well as inside the city, including Norristown, Abington, Cheltenham, Chester, Upper Darby, Ridley and Media. We also buy across Bucks County. The house does not need to be in Philadelphia for us to make an offer on it.

Are there any fees or commissions when I sell to you?

None from us. There is no commission, no listing fee and no charge for looking at the house, and we pay the closing costs. What we agree on is what the settlement sheet works from. Anything you already owe on the house is separate and comes out of the proceeds.

Can you buy a house I inherited in Philadelphia?

Yes, and inherited houses are a large share of what we buy in Philadelphia. A deed still in a parent's name, an estate part way through, several siblings who all have to agree. The title company works through it. Tell us where things stand and we move at the pace the legal side allows.

What if the house has Licenses and Inspections violations?

Open violations do not stop a cash sale with us. We buy the house with the violations attached and take them on after closing, so you are not paying to correct work you were only correcting in order to sell. Nothing needs fixing first.

Can you buy a Philadelphia house with liens on it?

Usually yes. Water liens, tax liens and municipal claims are common on the houses we buy here, and they get settled at closing out of the proceeds rather than out of your pocket beforehand. Tell us what you know and title work confirms the rest.

What if my house has a sheriff sale date coming up?

Tell us early, because the date is what sets the pace. We have bought houses with a sale date approaching, and how much room there is depends on how close it sits. We cannot promise an outcome, but we can tell you quickly whether a sale is realistic in the time left.

Do you buy row homes in Philadelphia?

Yes, and more of them than anything else. Row homes are the bulk of what we buy in the city, in every condition from move-in ready to gutted. Corner properties, straight-through rows, porch fronts and trinities. The style is not the question; the house is.

Can I sell a Philadelphia house with tenants still living in it?

Yes. We buy occupied properties and you do not need to remove anyone first. Tell us the lease terms and whether rent is current, and we work around the tenancy. You are not responsible for emptying the house or ending a lease to sell to us.

Do I need a real estate agent to sell my house to you?

No. You can come to us directly and most sellers do. If you already have an agent, we work with them instead and their agreement stands. Either way there is no commission from our side, and you are welcome to have anyone you trust look at the paperwork.

What if I am not sure I want to sell yet?

Ask anyway. Plenty of people call us months before they move, or just to understand what the option looks like. It costs you nothing to find out, you are not signing up for anything by asking, and nobody will chase you if the answer turns out to be not yet.
