Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: How fast can you buy my Philadelphia house?
We can close in as few as 7 days from the date you accept our cash offer. If you need more time to arrange your move or handle estate matters, we are flexible and can extend the timeline to 30, 45, or 60 days. The closing date is your choice.
Q2: Do you charge any fees or commissions?
No. We do not charge agent commissions, service fees, or closing costs to the seller. The cash offer we present is the amount you receive, minus any outstanding liens or mortgage payoffs that are satisfied from the sale proceeds at closing.
Q3: Will you buy my house if it needs major repairs?
Yes. We buy houses completely AS-IS. You are never required to make repairs, paint, clean out, or update anything before we close. We factor the cost of repairs into our offer and handle all renovation work after we take ownership.
Q4: Can you stop my foreclosure?
Yes, provided you are still within the window before the sheriff sale date. In Pennsylvania, you generally have until the day of the scheduled sheriff sale to sell the property or cure the default. If you have received a notice of default or sheriff sale notice, contact us immediately for a fast cash offer.
Q5: How do I get a cash offer for my Philadelphia house?
Call 215-883-4833 or fill out our online form. We will contact you within a few hours to schedule a brief property walkthrough. Within 24 hours of the visit, we present a written cash offer with no contingencies and no obligation to accept.
Q6: What types of properties do you buy?
We buy all residential property types throughout Philadelphia and the surrounding Pennsylvania communities: rowhouses, twin homes, single-family detached homes, duplexes, multi-unit investment properties, and condos. We purchase homes in every Philadelphia neighborhood and throughout Montgomery County and the Pocono Mountains region.
Q7: Can you buy my inherited Philadelphia property?
Yes. We regularly work with estate executors, administrators, and attorneys through the Pennsylvania probate process. If the property is in probate, we can structure the purchase timeline to align with the court calendar. We also handle properties with outstanding inheritance tax obligations, delinquent property taxes, and water and sewer arrears.
Q8: What if my house has a tax lien or back property taxes?
Tax liens, back property taxes, and water and sewer charges do not need to be cleared before you sell to us. These are resolved at closing from the sale proceeds. You do not need to bring money to the table to pay them off in advance.
Q9: Do I need to move out before closing?
No. If you need additional time after closing to relocate, we can arrange a post-closing occupancy period. We will set a mutually agreed move-out date that fits your situation. You do not need to rush.
Q10: Is there any obligation when I request a cash offer?
None. Requesting a cash offer is completely free and there is no commitment or pressure to accept. You can review the offer at your own pace and decide whether to proceed.
Q11: Do you buy houses in all Philadelphia neighborhoods?
Yes. We buy houses throughout all of Philadelphia including Kensington, North Philadelphia, South Philadelphia, West Philadelphia, Germantown, Fishtown, Frankford, Roxborough, Manayunk, and every other neighborhood in the city. We also serve the surrounding communities in Montgomery County and the Pocono Mountains.
Q12: How is your cash offer calculated?
We base our offer on the current as-is condition of the property, recent comparable sales in the immediate neighborhood, the location and lot, and the estimated cost of any repairs or updates we will need to make as investors after purchase. We aim to make the fairest offer possible while accounting for the risk and cost we take on.
