Skip the repair and showing arguments

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

You only have to agree on one thing — the price. After that we handle the rest, so there's nothing to argue about over repairs, contractors, showings, or who pays for what.

Who can sign? Start with the deed and court orders

For a voluntary sale of the whole house, the deed and any applicable court order show who needs to take part. If a spouse is legally authorized to sign for the other, or a court order addresses the sale, the title company needs the documents that show that authority.

If you own the house as tenants by the entireties — a form of joint ownership for married spouses — both sign the sale papers while married. After divorce, Pennsylvania law under 23 Pa.C.S. §3507 generally treats that former entireties property as equal one-half shares unless a court order under that chapter provides otherwise.

The title company can review the deed, recorded ownership, required signatures, and closing documents. A Pennsylvania attorney can explain how a divorce decree or court order applies to your situation.

Coatesville divorce-sale questions

Can we talk about selling before the divorce is final?

Yes. You can contact us before every disagreement is settled. Whether the house can be sold and who must sign depend on the deed and any applicable court order, so have the title company and your Pennsylvania attorney review those documents.

Who has to sign the sale papers?

The deed and any court order determine who can sign for this property. If spouses own the house as tenants by the entireties, both sign while married. After divorce, 23 Pa.C.S. §3507 generally treats that former entireties property as equal one-half shares unless a court order under that chapter provides otherwise.

Do we have to agree on repairs, contractors, or showings first?

You only have to agree on one thing — the price. After that we handle the rest, so there's nothing to argue about over repairs, contractors, showings, or who pays for what.

Can we sign in different places?

You can sign separately; we can send a notary to each of you. Sell from anywhere in the country — we can send a notary to you, and you don't have to attend settlement or even visit the property.

What costs are covered when we sell to you?

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax. Mortgage payoffs, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.

Testimonials are real, from our transactions, verified and approved by our attorneys.
