What to expect

  1. 1. Tell us the property and the situation

    Share the address, who is living there, the lease status, access limits, rent situation, notices, condition, and the timing you are considering. You can start with what you know; this is a conversation, not a list of requirements before you call.

  2. 2. We discuss it with you and put terms in writing

    We talk through what is happening with the property and the tenants. If a sale path is available, the terms are put in writing for you to review before you commit.

  3. 3. We coordinate the details

    We coordinate title, meaning the public record of ownership; payoff, meaning the amount a lender or other claim holder says is due; estate details, meaning paperwork for an inheritance or probate matter; and tenant details with the appropriate professionals.

  4. 4. You review the settlement figures and close

    You review the settlement figures, including how the money is accounted for, and close through the title company. The title company handles the closing paperwork and confirms the final figures with the people involved.

Official sources and what you can check

You can use these official sources to check the question that belongs to the government office or state law, rather than asking a buyer to decide it for you.

  • City of Johnstown Code Enforcement

    You can ask this municipal office about a city code notice, property maintenance, rental registration, or inspection. Nearby borough and township properties use their own office.

  • Cambria County Magisterial District Judges

  • Pennsylvania Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951

    You can read the state law for landlord-tenant rights and the process for recovering possession. Selling to us is not a promise that a lease disappears or occupants can be removed without the lawful process.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers

Here's what sellers across Pennsylvania have said about working with us.

“I ran a restaurant near campus that closed during COVID. Never fully recovered. The lender filed in Centre County court and I realized I had equity I was about to lose. USA Home Buyers explained the Pennsylvania foreclosure timeline, gave me a written offer the next morning, and we closed in twelve days. The case was dismissed. I came out with $47,000.”
Ben T.Westover Hills, State College PAJune 2025
“Twelve years of renting to Penn State students was enough. I had good tenants and bad tenants, and honestly the good ones still left every May and I'd spend the summer chasing the next lease. I just wanted out. USA Home Buyers bought the property with the tenant still in place and I was done in two weeks.”
Gary M.State College BoroughMarch 2026
“The divorce decree in Centre County required the house sold. We'd both been on the mortgage for seven years and neither of us could buy out the other on a single income. USA Home Buyers gave us a written offer both our attorneys approved. Closed in ten days. The proceeds let both of us move on.”
Lisa and Dan P.Highlands, State College PASeptember 2025

Tenant-occupied Johnstown seller FAQ

Do I have to evict before selling?

No. You don't always need to evict to sell to us. We buy houses with tenants in place — we've done it many times, including cash-for-keys when that works better for everyone. A sale does not automatically end a lease or remove occupants; use the lawful process that applies.

Can you buy with the tenants in place?

Yes. We buy houses with tenants in place — we've done it many times, including cash-for-keys when that works better for everyone. Tell us the lease status, access limits, rent situation, and any notices so we can discuss the tenant arrangement with you.

Does selling end the lease?

No, not automatically. Selling to us is not a promise that a lease disappears or occupants can be removed without the lawful process. The Pennsylvania Landlord and Tenant Act includes landlord-tenant rights and the process for recovering possession; review the official source and get situation-specific advice when needed.

Where do rental inspection questions go?

For a Johnstown city code notice, property maintenance, rental registration, or inspection question, contact City of Johnstown Code Enforcement. A property in a nearby borough or township uses its own municipal office, not the city office.
