Why Jake started House Buying Solutions
“We exist to strengthen Northeast Pennsylvania by offering homeowners a fair, stress-free way to sell their properties and by transforming those houses into high-quality homes for families to thrive.”
Stop the brain drain
We need to make this place a desirable location where people want to live. Keep the talent. Keep the people. Get them building here instead of wanting to go somewhere else and build. Northeast PA used to have double the population it has now. When talented young people move away, the community decays. We're building a place worth staying for.
Best price in, best home out
When you sell to us, you get the best cash price with the easiest process. On the other side, when we're excellent at everything, we can get our prices as low as possible and deliver a home somebody can live in for the next 30 years. Best price in, best price out.
Raise the whole street
When we fix a house, curb appeal goes up, property values rise, and the tax base grows. More money flows into schools, roads, and infrastructure for everyone around it. One house changes a block.
The principles it runs on
How the company buys houses, renovates them, talks with sellers and decides who belongs on the team is written down in 15 principles. They're public, so you know what to expect before you call.

On a real project

94 Market Street: occupant out, sold as-is
We bought this Pittston house in May 2026 knowing there had been an unauthorized occupant before closing and that the inside was rough. After we regained possession and finished the cleanout, our construction schedule was full, so we sold it as-is to Manny, a local buyer partner with his own renovation crew.
