Why Somerton owners sell to us
Somerton is our next-door neighbor, and we buy houses here from people in all sorts of situations. These are the ones we hear about most.
You're ready for something smaller, or to move closer to family.
Many Somerton owners bought their homes decades ago and raised their families there. Leaving a longtime home is a big step. We can help if you need to move, and it starts with hearing your plans.
You inherited the house and don't know where to begin.
Settling an estate and clearing out a family home at the same time is heavy. Estates here go through the Philadelphia Register of Wills at City Hall. We can work with estates, so tell us where things stand.
The house needs updates you don't want to take on.
An old roof, an aging heater, windows from another era. It adds up. We buy houses as-is, and we can talk through what yours needs.
Somerton sits at the top of Northeast Philadelphia, roughly between Red Lion Road and Poquessing Creek, from Roosevelt Boulevard to the Montgomery County line, with Bensalem, Lower Southampton and Lower Moreland on its borders. The Somerton train station on Bustleton Avenue serves the area. We buy all over it.
What we find in Somerton houses
Somerton started as a farming village, first called Smithfield. Most of the Far Northeast stayed undeveloped until the late 1950s and 1960s, when buyers came for Cape Cods and ranch houses with a suburban feel. Somerton also has twins, duplexes and some older homes.
A house from that era can need a new roof, updated wiring, a newer heating system or work on the sewer line. Homes built before 1978 can also have lead paint. In Philadelphia, the owner is responsible for the water and sewer pipes out to the street. We buy as-is, so these are things we can work with.
Some owners here rent out a house or one side of a duplex. Renting in Philadelphia takes a Rental License from L&I, and rentals built before 1978 need lead-safe certification. Even though Somerton borders Bucks and Montgomery Counties, a house inside the city line follows Philadelphia's rules. Tell us about your property, and we'll go from there.

What selling looks like in Somerton
Listing with an agent can do well for a house that's ready to go. It means repairs, clearing it out and waiting on a buyer's loan. With us, it starts with a phone call about the house and what you're hoping for.
If the house is a rental, the city says a Rental License does not transfer to a new owner. What that means for your property is worth checking with L&I or your attorney.
For an inherited house, the Philadelphia Register of Wills in City Hall, Room 180, probates wills and opens estates. Your attorney can tell you when the estate is ready to sell, and we can work with estates at any stage.
Because we're right next door, it's easy to start. Call or text, share a few photos and tell us what's going on. Once we understand your situation, we can talk about a cash offer and timing that could work.
