A local buyer who actually knows Philadelphia
Philadelphia is a city of rowhomes — the brick streets of Fishtown and Kensington, the trinities of Society Hill, the porch-front twins of West Philly and Germantown, and the airlite blocks of the Northeast. Many are a century old, heated by oil, wired with knob-and-tube, and carrying the U&O and disclosure headaches that scare off financed buyers. Inherited and vacant rowhomes, tired landlords and probate sales come up constantly here. As local cash buyers, we buy as-is — party walls, oil tanks, old roofs and all — and give you a real number and a real settlement date.
We buy throughout Philadelphia and the surrounding Delaware Valley — Fishtown and Kensington, South Philly, West Philly, Germantown and Mount Airy, Manayunk and Roxborough, and across the Northeast in Mayfair and Frankford, all of it in Philadelphia County. Whatever block your house is on, and whatever shape it’s in, we can make you a cash offer this week.
Selling a house in Pennsylvania has its own rules
Pennsylvania closings don’t work like other states’. Here’s what actually matters when you sell in Philadelphia — and how we handle each piece.
We close through title/settlement — no attorney needed Pennsylvania sales close through a local title and settlement company. We handle the required Seller’s Property Disclosure and the municipal Use & Occupancy (U&O) certificate, and keep your Philadelphia settlement moving. | Old rowhomes, oil tanks & knob-and-tube? We buy as-is Pennsylvania’s older housing stock brings buried oil tanks, knob-and-tube wiring, lead paint, aging roofs and damp basements that sink financed sales in Philadelphia. We buy as-is and you fix nothing. | Transfer tax, U&O & disclosures — handled PA’s realty transfer tax — and Philadelphia’s steep 4.278% — plus the U&O certificate and seller disclosure catch a lot of sellers off guard. We handle the paperwork and it’s sorted at settlement. |
