Which selling path fits the Lebanon house?
A listing can make sense when the property is ready to show, you can manage access and negotiations, and you can carry the house while the buyer completes inspections and financing. A direct comparison can make more sense when repairs, cleanout, occupancy, estate paperwork, or a deadline is the problem.
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.
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
No agent commissions when you sell to us.
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
Compare the number you would keep
Compare a listing plan with a direct sale using the same assumptions about repairs, carrying costs, payoffs, and settlement items.
Pick your condition — light touch-ups through fire damage — and see what you'd actually walk away with. Change any number in it.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

What changes when the Lebanon house is inherited?
Under Pennsylvania 20 Pa.C.S. §3351, the personal representative—the person appointed to manage the estate—may generally sell real estate that is not specifically devised, subject to the law and will. If the will specifically gives the house to a named beneficiary, that beneficiary may need to join the sale.
Under §3353, the Orphans' Court may authorize a sale if the personal representative lacks authority, the will denies the power, or a court-supervised sale would help the estate. The court sets the terms and considers whether the sale serves estate administration or distribution. Read the §3351 text and §3353 text.
Pennsylvania inheritance tax depends on the beneficiary relationship, ownership, exemptions, and the estate's facts. Revenue's overview lists 0% for a transfer to a surviving spouse or to a parent from a child aged 21 or younger; 4.5% for direct descendants and lineal heirs; 12% for siblings; and 15% for other heirs, subject to the stated exemptions. Revenue also says payment becomes delinquent nine months after death and a qualifying payment within three months receives a 5% discount. You can sell the house before that tax-payment deadline. See the Pennsylvania inheritance-tax overview and payment instructions.
Mortgage and tax bills, insurance, utilities, maintenance, storage, and security can keep adding costs while the house is held. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one. Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is.
What if foreclosure or delinquent taxes are driving the deadline?
A mortgage foreclosure and execution sale—a court-ordered sale used to enforce a judgment—are separate from a Lebanon County delinquent-tax sale. The Lebanon County Sheriff's Office, Room 3 at 717-228-4410, identifies real-estate liens, levies, and sales among its functions. The office is in Room 3; call 717-228-4410 or see the Sheriff's Office page.
If a sheriff's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
The Lebanon County Tax Claim Bureau is in Room 103 at 717-228-4416. It handles delinquent real-estate taxes and its own sale process. The county page listed its 2026 Upset Sale—the county tax sale for properties with delinquent real-estate taxes—for Monday, September 14, 2026; that date has passed. The County also describes a separate later Court of Common Pleas petition path for properties not sold after a title search. See the Tax Claim Bureau.
Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 3129.2 generally requires sheriff handbills and specified written notices at least 30 days before an execution sale; read the Pennsylvania execution-sale rule. An Act 91 notice directs homeowners to foreclosure counseling. PHFA describes HEMAP—the Homeowners' Emergency Mortgage Assistance Program—as a repayable loan and directs homeowners to meet a designated counselor within 33 days of the notice date, subject to program qualifications. See PHFA HEMAP guidance or call 717-780-3940 or 1-800-342-2397.
Think the payoff is more than the house is worth? Ask us — we've gotten lenders to come down before.
What if the house has tenants, damage, or known defects?
Pennsylvania's default notice-to-quit periods are 10 days for unpaid rent after demand; 15 days for expiration or breach when the lease is one year or less or indefinite; and 30 days for a lease longer than one year. Lease terms and mobile-home rules can differ. A landlord must use the court process, including an order for possession and service, before removing an occupant. See Landlord and Tenant Act §501 and 246 Pa. Code Rule 517.
You don't always need to evict to sell to us. We buy houses with tenants in place — we've done it many times, including cash-for-keys when that works better for everyone.
Which Lebanon selling costs should you compare?

What our sellers say
“After my mother passed, my brother and I inherited her house off Derry Street. Neither of us lives in Harrisburg anymore, and the thought of cleaning it out and making repairs before listing felt impossible. USA Home Buyers made us a fair offer and closed in 12 days. We didn't have to touch a thing.”
“I was four months behind on my mortgage and the notices were stacking up. I didn't even know I could sell and still come out with money. USA Home Buyers explained the whole thing, the offer was fair, and we closed before things got worse. Huge weight off my shoulders.”
“I had a tenant who stopped paying rent and refused to leave. I was paying the mortgage out of pocket for months. USA Home Buyers bought the property with the tenant still in it. That was the end of my landlord days. Done.”
