If you want out of a Philadelphia house, you usually have two real choices. List it and aim for a retail price, or sell it to us for cash and pick the date. We don't claim the cash number beats every listing. It depends on the house, how long you can wait, and what you'd have to spend to get it ready.
A listing means showings, an agent commission that often lands around 5 to 6 percent, and weeks or months of waiting. The buyer usually needs a mortgage, an appraisal, and an inspection. You may get asked for repairs or a credit. Some contracts die. You keep paying taxes, insurance, and utilities the whole time. If the house is rough, the price on the flyer may not be a price anyone can finance.
A cash sale starts with the address. We look at comps, taxes, and condition and send a written offer within 24 hours. No agent commission. We usually cover standard seller closing costs. You net our number minus any mortgage or liens, and we show that before you sign. You can close in as little as 7 to 14 days, or wait until you're ready to move. Tenants, L&I violations, and a house full of a relative's things can stay in the deal.
List it if the house is in decent shape, you can wait, and you want to see what the market does. Ask us if you care more about a date, you don't want strangers walking through, or the repairs would eat the difference. Plenty of people get our number and then decide. The offer doesn't obligate you.
We buy in West and South Philadelphia, Kensington and Port Richmond, Fishtown, Northern Liberties, and North Philadelphia. Send the address either way. A person calls or texts you back. You don't sign a listing agreement to find out the number.
