How Cash Home Buyers Work in PA: Your Questions Answered
Stressed?
How do I sell this house fast and as-is?
The Aha Moment
Sold quickly without repairs or stress.
It’s normal to have questions when selling your home. We believe in total transparency, so we’ve gathered the most common questions our Pennsylvania neighbors ask us.
If your question isn’t covered here, or if you want us to dive deeper into the details, please contact us. We are here to make this process as straightforward as possible.
The “As-Is” Process & Timeline
Q: How much cleaning or repair work do I need to do?
You do not have to clean or repair a single thing. We buy houses in any condition throughout Pennsylvania, no matter the issue or location. Just take what you want and leave the rest to us; we plan on cleaning and doing repairs anyway.
Q: How fast can I close on my house?
While we are still on the phone, if your house meets our criteria, we will have a cash offer ready. We can sometimes close in as little as 14 days.
Q: My house is in foreclosure, what options do I have?
Even if your house is in foreclosure, we can usually still buy it with a cash offer. Foreclosure can be a stressful time for any homeowner; consider allowing us to remove this burden for you.
Comparing Your Selling Options
Q: Should I just list my house with an agent instead?
Honestly, we don’t know yet! We would need to look at your house, your situation, and your timeline in Pennsylvania to give you a solid answer. If you are willing to wait longer to sell, pay closing costs, clean up, make repairs, and potentially haggle on price with the buyer, an agent may be a good choice. Typically, a seller receives the highest offer when the property sells through an agent. But keep in mind there is all of the above to consider on top of the agent commission when listed on the MLS. A cash offer usually does not have this red tape.
Q: How Do You Sell A House By Owner (FSBO)?
Selling your house yourself is doable, but it takes a lot of work and research. You need a solid understanding of the market, must pay to list on the MLS, learn how to market and negotiate effectively, and ensure you know all the Pennsylvania laws regarding real estate transactions.
Trust, Costs, and Transparency
Q: Will I receive a fair price for my house?
We feel that you will receive a fair price considering we spend money to repair and upgrade the house after we buy it. Our biggest selling point is that you can unload a house fast for cash with no headaches. You are under no obligation to accept our offer.
Q: Are there commissions or closing costs?
There are no commissions or hidden fees. A traditional sale on the MLS will have costs like attorney fees and title insurance, deed preparation, etc. We provide a simple cash offer so you can walk away from the headaches of waiting for a house to sell.
Q: Why should I choose you?
We take pride in being honest and upfront; we wouldn’t sleep well at night if we weren’t. We are a Pennsylvania based team, not a big national corporation. We have completed tons of transactions over the years and strive to make the process fast and hassle-free.
Q: Who exactly are you?
We Buy Houses In Pennsylvania is a family-owned “Mom and Pop” operation. Our team includes excellent Pennsylvania based title companies who ensure your experience is professional and pleasant.
