What we buy
We buy Waynesburg Borough and Greene County houses with code notices, open violations, or serious disrepair. You do not need to repair, clean, or clear out the house before selling it to us.
You can talk with us about the property’s condition and the notice before deciding whether to sell. We’ll explain the written terms for the house you describe.
What can affect closing?
In Pennsylvania, an open code violation does not usually stop a sale. Under the Municipal Code and Ordinance Compliance Act (68 P.S. §§ 1081–1083), the municipality issues a certificate so the sale can close, and the buyer has 12 months to correct the violations. A property already under a court order or in a blight action is an exception.
If the municipality requires an inspection before sale, the certificate depends on the violations. A temporary access certificate lets the buyer enter to make repairs; it does not allow a new occupant to move in.
When you sell to us, we’re the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
An existing order or seller obligation before closing is not erased by the sale.
What happens next
Tell us the property address, its condition, what the notice says, and any date you’re watching.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can read the offer and its written terms before you decide. If you choose to sell, closing is through a title company.

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.”
