Philadelphia cash offer questions

The questions people actually ask.

How fast can I get an offer and close?

You'll have a written offer within 24 hours of sending the address. After you accept, we can close at a local title company in as little as 7–14 days, or on a later date you pick.

Do I need to make repairs first?

No. We buy Philadelphia houses that need work, including fire damage, old systems, and open L&I violations. You don't have to clean, paint, or renovate first.

Are there agent fees?

No agent commission. We're the buyer. We usually cover standard seller closing costs as part of the offer.

Which Philadelphia zip codes do you buy in?

Most of our houses are in 19139, 19143, 19104, 19131, 19146, 19145, and 19134. We also buy in 19123, 19125, 19122, 19121, 19133, and 19140. If yours is outside those, send it anyway.

Can you buy an inherited house?

Yes. That includes houses still full of belongings or still in a relative's name. Title will need the right people to sign. If you need a lawyer for the estate, hire one. We can still price the house.

Can you buy a house with tenants?

Yes. You don't have to evict anyone or hand us an empty house. Tell us if you live there, a tenant does, or it's vacant.

What if the house has L&I violations?

Yes. We buy houses with open L&I violations and we put them in the price. You don't have to clear them before you call.

Is there any obligation if I ask for an offer?

No. You can sit with it, compare it to a listing, or say no. Asking doesn't commit you.

How do I get paid?

The title company pays you at closing, usually by wire or their check. Any mortgage or liens come out before you receive the rest.

Who pays closing costs?

We typically cover standard seller closing costs as part of the offer. The cash number we give you is what you can expect to net from us, minus any mortgage or liens. We'll walk through it before you sign.
