This guide covers the City of Philadelphia and Philadelphia County. The local housing mix includes rowhomes, twins, multifamily rentals, condos, and older city properties. For any of them, write down the work needed, occupancy, ownership, payoff, notices, and the monthly cost of keeping the property while you decide.
Redfin's Philadelphia city measures below help you start a comparison; then put your own likely sale terms beside repairs, cleaning, agent costs, closing costs, payoffs, and carrying expenses.

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.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
A direct sale to us does not involve listing-agent showings.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
No agent commissions when you sell to us.
A listing can fit when the house is ready to show and you have time for preparation, buyer access, and negotiations. Selling on your own means handling the marketing, access, paperwork, and negotiation yourself. Compare the likely proceeds after expenses, not only the asking price.
A title review checks the ownership record and recorded claims that can affect a transfer. Ask the title company to show the payoff and closing figures in writing before you decide.
Use the Philadelphia net-proceeds calculator to organize the numbers, then compare them with the written terms for your house.
Philadelphia's Register of Wills provides probate and estate-record services and also serves as Clerk of the Orphans' Court. See the Philadelphia Register of Wills for office information.
Put the lease, security-deposit records, current rent status, access arrangements, and possession expectations beside the sale terms. See the Philadelphia tenant-occupied property guide for more on selling with a tenant.
Ask the title company to show recording charges, payoffs, and other transaction costs on the proposed settlement statement—the itemized list of money paid and received at closing. See the Philadelphia property-liens guide and request current payoff amounts for any mortgage or recorded claim that applies to your house.
For another Philadelphia situation, use the foreclosure guide, divorce-sale guide, code-violation guide, or fire-damage guide for that question.

A direct sale is one route to compare when timing matters; title, ownership, and the terms you choose affect closing. Compare it with the preparation, costs, and buyer steps involved in a listing. We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
No. You can request a cash offer before deciding whether to list. Compare the written amount and terms with the preparation, likely costs, and time involved in a listing or sale by owner.
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
