We buy houses in Wilkes-Barre and throughout Luzerne County with no repairs, no cleaning, no showings, and no buyer financing delays. Our team closes fast — typically within 21–30 days — and we pay all closing costs.
We serve the full Wilkes-Barre and Scranton corridor: Kingston, Forty Fort, Edwardsville, Plains, Nanticoke, Plymouth, and every community in between. If your property is in Luzerne County, we want to hear from you.
You work directly with the House Buying Solutions team at our 401 Church Street office in Archbald—not a referral website or an out-of-state call center. Our Wilkes-Barre projects and closings are handled locally throughout Luzerne County.
Local Coverage
We buy houses across Wilkes-Barre, not just in one part of the city. These are some of the areas where sellers most often call us when they need speed, certainty, or an as-is sale.
South Wilkes-Barre has a high concentration of older doubles, rentals, and long-held family homes that often need repairs before a retail buyer can close. We buy them in current condition and work around tenant or cleanout issues.
The Heights includes many larger homes with solid bones but expensive deferred maintenance. When owners want to avoid months of prep work, we provide a direct sale option without listing pressure.
East End sellers often need certainty more than they need a drawn-out listing process. We help with inherited properties, landlord exits, and homes that need more work than the owner wants to fund.
Parsons has a mix of owner-occupied homes and investment properties where repairs, vacancy, or timing can make a traditional sale harder. We buy as-is and move on your timeline.
Miners Mills properties can involve older systems, tight timelines, or family transitions. We make it possible to sell without first solving every issue an agent or financed buyer would raise.
North End homeowners call us when they need speed, privacy, or a simple solution for a house that no longer makes sense to keep. We know the area and can close through local Luzerne County title companies.
No agent commissions. No financing delays. Just a straightforward cash sale.
Buy as-is, every time.
Zero commissions, zero closing costs.
21–30 days typical, faster available.
Cash = no financing contingencies.
We bought two properties on the same block — 431 and 450 S. Hancock St in Wilkes-Barre — and invested in substantial renovation work at both properties.
New roof, new kitchen, new everything. A complete transformation from the ground up.

Two houses, one block — we don't flip and forget.
Hancock Street is direct local proof: we purchased two properties on the same block and invested in the repair work needed to return them to useful housing.
If your situation looks like one of these, you do not need to figure it out alone first. We already have a process for it.

Common Questions
Straight answers for homeowners who want to understand speed, repairs, pricing, and what happens before closing.
Most Wilkes-Barre sellers who contact us receive a cash offer within 24 hours. If title is clear and you want to move quickly, we can often close in as little as 7 days.
No. We buy Wilkes-Barre houses as-is, whether they need cosmetic updates, major repairs, a full cleanout, or have been sitting vacant.
No. We do not charge agent commissions or hidden fees, and we cover standard closing costs. The offer you receive is the number you can plan around.
We look at the condition of the property, its location in Wilkes-Barre, recent comparable sales in the city and wider Luzerne County market, plus the renovation work needed after closing.
Usually, yes. We regularly buy tenant-occupied properties, inherited homes, and houses that have title, condition, or timing issues that would complicate a traditional listing.
Not always. Many sellers leave behind furniture, boxes, or other unwanted contents. In many cases we can buy the property in its current condition and handle the remaining cleanout after closing.
