We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
Takes 2 minutes. No obligation.
What we do
We talk with you about the lease, who lives there, access, and the house as it stands. If a tenant would rather move, we can discuss a voluntary move-out agreement. We can also talk through who owns the house, any loan payoff, and who can sign.
Bring us the problem
Tell us what is difficult about the tenancy, access, or repairs. We can discuss a property visit around the lease and occupancy.

What happens next
We discuss the lease, occupancy, access, and the house with you. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Tenant rights and security deposits
A sale does not by itself cancel a lease. You can sell with the tenant still living there, so you may not need to give notice at all. If you want the house empty first, the usual notice under the Pennsylvania Landlord and Tenant Act §501 is 10 days for unpaid rent, or 15 or 30 days when a lease ends, depending on how long the lease is.
At closing, the tenant’s security deposit is typically shown as a line on the settlement statement and transferred with the rental. Sometimes it is handled differently by agreement, and the written closing terms will show how.
