Local Coverage
Scranton Neighborhoods We Buy In
We buy houses across Scranton, not just in one pocket of the city. These are some of the neighborhoods where sellers call us most often when they need speed, certainty, or an as-is sale.
Green Ridge
Green Ridge has some of Scranton's most recognizable larger homes, many built before modern mechanical standards. When inherited properties or outdated systems turn those houses into expensive projects, we buy them as-is and keep the process private.
South Side
South Side has a dense mix of owner-occupied homes, rentals, and older doubles. We regularly help sellers here who need a faster option than listing because the property needs work, the tenant situation is complicated, or the family wants certainty.
West Scranton
West Scranton includes everything from long-held family homes to distressed rentals and vacant properties. If repairs, cleanout work, or financing problems would make a traditional sale difficult, we can step in with a direct cash offer.
Hill Section
The Hill Section has larger historic houses with plenty of character and plenty of maintenance. We help owners who are downsizing, settling estates, or simply done carrying the cost of an older home that needs more work than they want to take on.
North Scranton
North Scranton properties often involve inherited homes, landlord sales, and houses that have sat vacant for too long. We buy in current condition so sellers can move on without first fixing every issue a retail buyer would question.
Minooka
Minooka sellers often want a straightforward local buyer who understands the neighborhood and can close without drama. We buy houses here in any condition and work around relocation, family, or timing issues.

The Arnold Family — Archbald, PA
Our Story
Family-Owned. Pennsylvania Through and Through.
When you call House Buying Solutions, you're not calling a hedge fund or a national wholesaler. You're calling a Pennsylvania family that lives and works in the same communities as you.
Jake Arnold has built this business from the ground up in NEPA. Having a family means he understands what a home represents — the memories, the weight of the decision, the need for a process that's honest and fair.
Many properties we buy are renovated and returned to the market as improved housing. When a different path makes more sense, we still take responsibility for the property and the next step. We invest in Scranton, Lackawanna County, and the region we call home.

Scranton Home Seller FAQ
Straight answers for Scranton homeowners who want to understand timing, repairs, pricing, and what happens before closing.
How quickly can I sell my house in Scranton, PA?
Most Scranton sellers who contact us receive a cash offer within 24 hours. If title is clear and you want to move fast, we can often close in as little as 7 days.
Do I need to make repairs before selling my Scranton house?
No. We buy Scranton houses as-is, whether the property needs cosmetic work, a full cleanout, major systems updates, or has been vacant for a long time.
Do you charge commissions or closing costs?
No. We do not charge agent commissions or hidden fees, and we cover standard closing costs. The number we offer is the amount you can plan around.
How do you determine my cash offer in Scranton?
We look at the property's condition, the neighborhood, recent Scranton comparable sales, and the renovation work needed after closing. That gives us a fair cash number based on the local market instead of a generic online estimate.
Can I sell a Scranton house with tenants, inherited title issues, or major damage?
Usually, yes. We regularly buy tenant-occupied houses, inherited properties, and homes with structural, plumbing, electrical, or water-damage issues. We will review the specifics and tell you quickly if we can help.
Do I have to clean out the house before closing?
Not always. Many Scranton sellers leave behind furniture, boxes, or debris they do not want to deal with. In many cases we can buy the property in its current condition and handle the rest after closing.
