Skip the repairs, contractors, and showings
You won't have a repair list, contractor visits, or listing-agent showings to coordinate. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Who can sign for a Pennsylvania divorce sale?
If you own the house as tenants by the entireties, both spouses sign the sale papers while married. After divorce, Pennsylvania law generally treats that former entireties property as equal one-half shares unless a court order under 23 Pa.C.S. §3507 provides otherwise.
The deed and any divorce decree or court order can affect who signs and what happens to the sale proceeds. The title company can check the deed, liens, payoffs, and closing documents; a Pennsylvania family-law attorney can explain how an order applies to your situation.

What happens next
1. Tell us about the house
Call us or use the form and tell us what you know about the York house. We'll talk through its condition, access, occupancy, and the timing you have in mind; you can start before every detail is settled.
2. Review the written offer and terms
We give you a written offer and clear written terms to review up front, before you commit. You can review them with your adviser before deciding whether to sign.
3. The title company prepares the closing
If you choose to proceed, we review title, payoff, occupancy, and who has authority to sell, then coordinate closing through a title company. The title company prepares the settlement documents using the authority and written instructions that apply to the property. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
Signing from separate locations
You can sign separately; we can send a notary to each of you.
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.
No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Pennsylvania charges state realty transfer tax on taxable transfers, and a local tax may also apply depending on the property's municipality and school district. When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.

Compare what you may keep
A sale price is not the same as the amount left after a mortgage payoff, liens, and other sale costs. Use the York calculator with editable assumptions to compare possible sale paths.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

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.”
Questions about selling a York house during divorce
Can I talk with you before every disagreement is settled?
Yes. You can call or use the form to talk about the house while you and your advisers work through the terms. A conversation or offer does not change a court order or make someone agree to sell.
Who needs to sign the sale papers?
If you own the house as tenants by the entireties, both spouses sign the sale papers while married. After divorce, Pennsylvania law generally treats former entireties property as equal one-half shares unless a court order under 23 Pa.C.S. §3507 provides otherwise. The deed and any applicable order affect the requirements for this property.
Do we need to repair or clean out the house before asking about a sale?
No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us about the house as it is.
Who pays the transfer tax and closing costs?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Pennsylvania charges state realty transfer tax on taxable transfers, and a local tax may also apply depending on the property's municipality and school district. When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.
