What we do
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
A direct sale gives you one written price to consider without coordinating repairs, contractors or showings with each other. You can ask about the house and the sale before deciding whether this route fits.
The useful signing fact: the documents determine who signs
The deed, ownership and any applicable court orders determine who can sign the sale papers. If spouses 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. A title professional or attorney can review how the deed, decree and recorded liens apply to your sale.
Bring us the obstacle
Tell us what is making the sale hard—repairs, access, timing, or a question about the house. You can call or send the address before every disagreement is settled.

What to expect
1. Tell us about the house and situation
Share the Gettysburg address and the practical question you want to sort out. You can start the conversation without having every detail resolved.
2. Review the house and written terms
We review the house as-is and give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You see the offer and terms in writing before you commit.
3. The right professionals confirm authority and title
A title professional checks the ownership and closing documents, including who has authority to sign and how recorded liens apply. An attorney can review the deed, divorce decree and any applicable court orders with you.
4. Review the settlement figures and close
Review the final figures and closing papers with the title company. The sale closes through a title-company closing.
Separate and remote signing
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.
Gettysburg and Adams County records and legal guidance
Adams County Recorder of Deeds
For deed and land-recording information, start with the Adams County Recorder of Deeds. A title professional or attorney can review the deed alongside the divorce decree and recorded liens for your sale.
Pennsylvania ownership after divorce
Read the Pennsylvania General Assembly's 23 Pa.C.S. §3507 for the state rule on former entireties property. The deed and any applicable court order still matter to the sale.

Here's what sellers across Pennsylvania have said about working with us.
“WellSpan transferred me to their Chambersburg facility and I needed to be there in four weeks. My West York house was in good shape but I couldn't be in two places at once for a traditional sale. USA Home Buyers had a written offer the same morning I called. Closed in eight days. I made it to Chambersburg before my start date.”
“Divorce settlement required the house on King Street to be sold. My ex and I couldn't even be in the same room. USA Home Buyers handled everything through our attorneys. One number, one closing, proceeds split the day we signed.”
“Received an Act 91 notice in January. I had no idea I had maybe six months before a sheriff sale. USA Home Buyers explained everything — the timeline, the options — and had a written offer the next morning. We closed before any court filings. I walked away with $41,000 instead of nothing.”
Where to go next
Gettysburg divorce-sale questions
Can we talk about selling before the divorce is final?
Yes. You can talk with USA Home Buyers before every detail is settled. The deed, ownership and any applicable court orders determine who can sign the sale papers, so a title professional or attorney can review those documents.
Do both spouses have to sign?
The deed, ownership and any applicable court orders determine who can sign. If spouses 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.
What if we have not agreed on repairs, showings or who pays?
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 separately?
You can sign separately; we can send a notary to each of you.
