The short answer
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No obligation.
Close as fast as 7 days WHEN title and closing details allow. The written agreement, title work, payoff, occupancy, authority, and property-specific facts control the actual path.
No repair plan or showing schedule to coordinate

Who can sign?
If you and your spouse own the house as tenants by the entireties, both of you sign the sale papers while you're married. After divorce, Pennsylvania law ( 23 Pa.C.S. §3507 ) generally treats former entireties property as equal one-half ownership shares unless a court order under that chapter provides otherwise. A title professional or attorney can review how the deed, decree, and recorded liens apply to your sale.

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.”
