What are your options for selling fast?

With a listing, compare the likely sale price against preparation, repairs, agent commission, closing costs, and the bills you’ll carry while the house is for sale. Selling on your own means you handle the pricing, buyer calls, access, and terms. Selling to us gives you another path to compare without repairing or cleaning first.

Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers

We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.

One Allentown detail that can affect the timeline

For an applicable residential sale inside Allentown City, the city requires a pre-sale safety-and-maintenance inspection. If the inspection finds violations, the city says the seller addresses them unless the buyer agrees to take on the work using the city’s Acceptance Form. Read the city’s Pre-Sale Inspections instructions.

We buy houses as-is. If you already have an inspection report or notice, tell us about it and we’ll talk through the sale with you.

What costs should you count?

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.

When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax.

No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.

Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate. Compare those amounts with the written price and the costs you would carry under each option.
