19145 and 19146 are tight blocks of two-story and three-story rowhomes. Point Breeze and Girard Estates are the names most people use. Some of the houses are updated. A lot of them aren't, and that's fine. We're in Philadelphia. You can get a cash offer in writing within a day without putting the house on the market.
The reason is usually specific. A parent died and the house is still full. The tenant stopped paying. The basement takes on water every hard rain. An L&I notice is on the kitchen table. Or you're moving and you can't wait three months for someone to get a loan. We'll price the house with those problems in it, and the offer will say so.
You pick the date. Some people need to close in 7 to 14 days because a tax bill or a job won't wait. Others need about six weeks to find the next place. Either way it's a local title company, and you get paid there. We usually cover standard seller closing costs. What you net from us is that number minus the mortgage or other liens. We'll go over it before anyone signs.
If someone is living there, you don't have to get them out unless you want the house empty. If the utilities are already off, say that. If three relatives are on the deed, tell us on the first call. It's easier than finding out the day before settlement.
The form on this page is enough to start. A nearby South Philly zip we didn't name is still ok to send. We'll tell you straight if it's a house we can buy. Most people just write down what they know: how long it's been empty, whether anyone is renting it, what the notice says. Rough is fine. If you're not sure about something, say so and we'll sort it out on the phone.
