Our Process for Buying Houses

Simple, clear steps. No repairs. No cleaning. No guessing.

Typical closings are often within 30 days, depending on title work and the closing company.
  1. 1

    Understanding Your Property

    We collect the details needed to price the property correctly.

    • Address and location
    • Condition (repairs, damage, deferred maintenance)
    • Property type (house, condo, land, multi-family, commercial)
    • Occupancy (vacant, owner-occupied, tenant-occupied)
    • Layout (beds/baths, unique features)
    • Concerns (known issues, liens, probate, code problems)
    • Improvements (recent updates/renovations)
    • Price expectations (if you have a number)
  2. 2

    Receive Your Offer

    We make an offer built around your situation and timeline.

    1. Multiple options: cash is common, but we may present multiple structures when it helps.
    2. Fast turnaround: we often aim to deliver an offer within 24 hours.
    3. Price clarity: nothing is final until the purchase agreement is signed.
  3. 3

    Securing the Agreement

    Everything gets put in writing with clear terms.

    1. Transparency first: straightforward agreement, no vague language.
    2. Defined timelines: the contract includes the closing date.
    3. Clear contacts: you’ll have the attorney/title company info in writing.
  4. 4

    Opening Escrow / Title Work

    A neutral third party handles the paperwork and title process.

    • Secure documents: deed, title search, payoffs, required closing docs.
    • Protected funds: money is handled through the closing process correctly.
    • Clear communication: fewer surprises, fewer delays.
  5. 5

    Finalizing Every Detail

    We confirm access and finalize any last items before closing.

    • Expert oversight: walkthroughs/site visits when needed (especially if vacant).
    • Convenient access: lockbox recommended when it makes coordination easier.
    • Flexible acquisitions: in some cases, a partner may be the end buyer.
  6. 6

    Closing

    Sign, get paid, and hand off the keys.

    • Payment: you get paid at closing.
    • Key exchange: you hand over keys (and any access info).
    • Problem-solving: if something comes up, we work it out with you and the closing company.

Quick Answers

How quickly can I sell my home?

Closings are often within 30 days. Timing depends heavily on title work and how fast the title company can clear and prepare everything.

Some title companies we use include:

What locations do you cover?

We’re buying across Pennsylvania, with a strong focus on Central and Northeast PA.

And surrounding areas.

What does selling “as-is” mean?

It means you don’t fix anything for us.

  • No repairs, no renovations
  • No cleaning or prep required
  • We handle the work after closing
What if there are tenants?

We buy properties with tenants in place.

  • If the situation is difficult, we can handle the process to resolve it.
  • If the tenants are good and want to stay, we can work with existing leases or renewals.
  • If relocation is needed, we can work toward a smooth transition.

  • Less friction: no showings, no open houses, no buyer financing delays.

Sell on Terms

Sometimes cash isn’t the best fit. We can structure a deal that solves the real problem.

  • Seller financing / owner financing: you may receive payments over time instead of one lump sum.
  • Installment-style options: when it makes sense, we can explore creative structures.
  • Goal-based approach: we focus on what you need—timeline, certainty, and stress reduction.
  • Clear paperwork: everything documented through the right closing professionals.

  • Moving help: we can help coordinate moving so you’re not stuck doing it alone.
  • Housing help: we have agents on the team who can help you find a new house, apartment, or whatever you need.
  • Lease assistance: in certain situations, we can co-sign leases to help you secure housing.
  • Probate + title issues: we’ve handled most probate situations and title problems and can guide you through next steps.
  • Right referrals: if you need an attorney, title company, or specialist, we can point you to the right people.
