Pella, Iowa · Marion and Mahaska counties
We buy houses as-is in Pella and across Marion and Mahaska counties. Marion County lists Pella as a community, while the City’s GIS depicts the Pella city area in both counties. That map is for orientation, not a parcel determination; use the property record to confirm the right county office.

Start with the address
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. The City, Marion County, and Mahaska County handle different property questions, so the address helps match your house to the right office.
Share the address, what needs work, who is living there, and the timing that matters. You do not need to know a neighborhood name before starting.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
Share the address, condition, occupancy, and timing you know.

Local places and landmarks
The City’s historic-district names and familiar nearby places can help describe a location. They do not establish a parcel boundary, a home’s condition, or which county office handles the address.
City-listed local historic district
Pella’s Historic Preservation Commission names Collegiate Neighborhood as one of the City’s local historic districts.
For your sale: The City says properties within a local historic district need Historic Preservation Commission review before work that requires a building permit. Check the exact address and planned work with the City; the district name alone does not establish a particular property’s status.
City-listed local historic district
Scholte Garden is the other local historic district named by Pella’s Historic Preservation Commission.
For your sale: If you are weighing repairs before a sale, ask the City whether the address is in the district and whether the proposed work needs review. The City’s district information is not a parcel determination.
Pella campus and local landmark
Central College identifies itself as Central College of Pella, Iowa, making it a familiar point of reference when describing where a house is.
For your sale: A campus or nearby landmark can help explain an address, but it does not establish a neighborhood boundary or property detail.
Separate Marion County communities
Marion County lists Knoxville, Pleasantville, and Melcher-Dallas separately from Pella in its community directory.
For your sale: These are nearby community names, not Pella neighborhoods. Confirm the property’s city and county before contacting a city or county office.
Separate county place
Oskaloosa is in Mahaska County, separate from Pella; the county lists its courthouse there.
For your sale: Pella’s City GIS depicts the city area intersecting Marion and Mahaska County polygons. Use the parcel record to confirm which county office handles a specific property.
Local offices by question
Pella city services are separate from county recording, court, assessment, and tax offices. The City GIS is useful for orientation, but check the parcel record before choosing a county contact.

You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
We buy houses as-is in Pella and the surrounding Marion and Mahaska County area. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You receive written offer terms before you commit, and closing is through a title company.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Iowa real estate transfer tax. This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
Our Cash Offer and EZ Sale options let you compare written numbers and choose what works for you. The net-proceeds calculator can help compare the costs you enter for listing and an as-is cash sale; it is an estimate, not an offer for your house.
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.
If the house involves an estate, a property-maintenance notice, liens, or a sale deadline, these Pella pages cover those situations:
“LISTEN, PROPERTY TAXES GOT TOO HIGH FOR MY FIXED INCOME. SOLD IT TO THEM. WALKED AWAY WITH CASH. GLAD IT'S OVER.”
“Facing foreclosure ... Very stressful time... They handled it professionally and got me out of the debt...”
“no open houses. no realtors tracking dirt in. just a straight cash sale for our house so we could move. Glad it's over.”
Marion County lists Pella as a community, and the City of Pella GIS depicts the city polygon intersecting both Marion and Mahaska County polygons. The map is local orientation, not a parcel determination. Check the property record and confirm the county with the responsible office.
No. The City lists Collegiate Neighborhood and Scholte Garden as local historic districts, but a place name alone does not establish an individual property’s status. The City says properties within a local historic district need Historic Preservation Commission review before work requiring a building permit; ask the City about the exact address and work.
Pella Planning & Zoning publishes residential permit applications and directs permit and inspection questions to the City’s Building Official. Check the City’s current instructions for the property and planned work.
Iowa’s Judicial Branch has separate court-directory pages for Marion and Mahaska counties, including each Clerk of Court’s location. Those are contact routes; they do not decide venue or who may sign for an estate. Confirm the right county and estate authority for the property.
The relevant county Recorder handles recorded real-estate documents, while the county Assessor and Treasurer provide separate assessment and tax contact routes. Pella’s City GIS shows why you should confirm the parcel’s county before choosing an office; check any parcel-specific balance or record directly with that office.
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We give written cash offers in 24 hours, with written offer terms before you commit and a title-company closing.
