Situations we help Philadelphia owners with
- You inherited a house. We can buy from the estate once the executor or administrator has authority to sell. You don’t have to empty it first.
- The house needs work you can’t afford. Old roofs, plumbing, water damage, or a full gut job. We buy as-is.
- You’re behind on the mortgage or taxes, or a sheriff sale is scheduled. Talk to us early (see below).
- You’re a tired landlord. If a rental has become more trouble than it’s worth, we can talk through your options.
- You live out of state and need to sell a Philadelphia house without flying back and forth.
Philadelphia neighborhoods we buy in
We buy across the whole city. The Philadelphia City Planning Commission divides Philadelphia into 18 planning districts, from the River Wards and Lower Northeast to Lower Southwest and Upper Northwest, and we buy in all of them. That includes neighborhoods like Kensington, Port Richmond, Frankford, Tacony, Holmesburg, Mayfair and Bustleton in the Northeast and River Wards; Olney, Tioga, Nicetown and Hunting Park in North Philadelphia; Germantown, Mount Airy, Roxborough and Manayunk in the Northwest; and Point Breeze and Eastwick in South and Southwest Philadelphia.

If you’re facing foreclosure in Philadelphia
Start by checking your property’s sale date and status with the Sheriff’s Office, and look at the City’s page on how to save your home from mortgage and tax foreclosure. If keeping the house isn’t realistic, selling before the sale date is one option. Read our Stop Foreclosure page or call (215) 792-3189. We answer 24/7.

Philadelphia seller questions
Can I sell an inherited Philadelphia house before probate is finished?
Whoever signs the sale needs legal authority to sell. That usually comes from the Philadelphia Register of Wills, as letters testamentary or letters of administration. Ask an estate attorney about timing. We can make an offer at any point and close once the estate is able to sell.
My house is listed for sheriff sale. Is it too late to sell?
Not always. Check your property’s sale date and status on the Philadelphia Sheriff’s Office site, and look at the City’s free foreclosure help. Selling before the sale date is one option. Call us at (215) 792-3189 as early as you can.
Do I have to fix the house or clean it out first?
No. We buy Philadelphia houses as-is, including anything left inside. You don’t need to make repairs or schedule showings.
Who pays the closing costs?
We pay the settlement costs. If you need help with moving costs, tell us and we’ll work it into the plan.
