What we buy
We buy Hermitage houses with code violations and repair needs as-is. You don't have to repair, clean, or clear out the house first. We talk with you about the property and what the notice says.
What can affect closing in Pennsylvania
Under Pennsylvania's Municipal Code and Ordinance Compliance Act, a municipality must issue the certificate needed for a covered sale to close when code violations remain, and the buyer has 12 months to correct them. A property already under a court order or in a blight action is an exception. Read the Municipal Code and Ordinance Compliance Act, 68 P.S. §§ 1081–1083.
If an inspection is required, the certificate depends on the violations. A temporary access certificate lets the buyer enter to make repairs, but 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 Hermitage house, its condition, and what the notice says.

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.”
