What we buy
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. For an Erie house with an open notice, we consider the property's condition and the notice together when preparing written terms.
What can affect closing
Pennsylvania's Municipal Code and Ordinance Compliance Act (68 P.S. §§ 1081–1083) provides a certificate process for covered sales with code violations: the municipality issues a certificate so the sale can close, and the buyer gets 12 months to correct the violations. The exception is a property already under a court order or in a blight action.
If an inspection is required, the certificate depends on the violations. A temporary access certificate lets the buyer enter to make repairs; it does not let a new occupant move in. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
What happens next
We talk through the Erie house, its condition, and any notice. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Before you commit, you get the offer and terms in writing. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow. If you accept, a title company handles the closing.
Costs and questions
No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Compare a cash sale with editable repair and sale assumptions in the Erie home-sale net proceeds calculator. It is an estimate, not a settlement statement.
Questions about Erie code violations
Can I sell an Erie house with code violations?
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Erie and Erie County, Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania has a certificate process for covered sales, with an exception for a property already under a court order or in a blight action.
Does a temporary access certificate let a buyer move in?
No. It lets a buyer enter to make repairs, not move in. If an inspection is required, the certificate depends on the violations.
Can we talk while the code notice is still open?
Yes. We can talk through the house and the notice while it is still open, then include both in your written offer and terms.
