You can tell us what the family wants to keep. We do not assume the house was unwanted or that you need to clear it before asking about a sale.
Call or use the form with the address and what you know about the house, access, and estate. You can start before every paper is ready or you know who will sign.
We put the offer and its terms in writing before you commit. You can compare them with listing, repairs, carrying costs, and other options.
If you want to proceed, the title company reviews the deed and estate papers and confirms what authority, signatures, and other title items are required for this property.
The title company coordinates closing after the required review. Timing depends on the actual estate and title file.
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.

Here's what sellers across Pennsylvania have said about working with us.
“We both retired from Penn State. The house in Houserville was beautiful but it was three bedrooms and we didn't need three bedrooms anymore. Our daughter pushed us to call USA Home Buyers. They came out, made us a fair offer, and we closed in seven days. We're in a one-bedroom near downtown now and life is simpler.”
“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.”
“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.”
Yes. Call or send the Lock Haven property address while the estate is being opened or papers are being gathered. You do not have to settle every estate question before talking with us; the title company or a qualified attorney confirms the authority and title requirements for a sale.
In most Pennsylvania estates, the executor can sell under 20 Pa.C.S. § 3351 without going to court. If the will leaves the house to one specific person, that person signs too. Letters testamentary or letters of administration are Register of Wills papers showing who can act for the estate. The actual will, appointment, deed, title file, and any court order still matter.
You can sell in the estate's name once the estate is opened — no need to put the house in your own name first. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one. The title company or a qualified attorney can confirm who has authority to sign for the estate.
The executor can ask the county's Orphans' Court for permission to sell, including property specifically left to someone. The court decides whether a sale is desirable for estate administration and distribution. A missing signature alone does not mean the court will approve a sale. See 20 Pa.C.S. § 3353.
Pennsylvania inheritance tax depends on who inherits. The rates and payment timing are summarized in the table on this page and in the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue guidance. The tax is owed from the date of death; paying within three months takes 5% off, and it becomes late after nine months.
