Start with what you know
Tell us what is going on with the house
The property address, condition, who lives there, access, and the timing you are considering give us a place to start. It is okay if an estate, payoff, lien, tax notice, or another property question is not settled yet.
You can use the form or call 888-274-5006. Neither requires you to have every document or answer ready for the first conversation.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
From first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
1. Talk through the property
We ask about condition, repairs, occupancy, access, ownership, and timing. Tell us what you know and what is uncertain; sellers can start the conversation before every property question is settled.
2. Read the written offer and terms
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific conditions before you decide whether to proceed, compare another option, or stop before signing.
3. Let the title company review the details
If you choose to proceed, the title company reviews the deed, ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and documents needed for settlement. Having current statements or notices can help with those questions. A mortgage payoff, lien, or tax balance is a separate item on the settlement figures.
4. Review the settlement sheet and close
A settlement sheet shows how the sale money breaks down. We always review the settlement sheet with the seller and walk through how the money breaks down so there is no confusion. We try to do that the day before closing so settlement is smooth; the title company confirms the final numbers. If you proceed, you sign the final papers through the title company, which confirms the final numbers and follows its settlement instructions for disbursement.
What you can expect at settlement
You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
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.

Local details for Coatesville and Chester County
Check the address before relying on a local record
The City of Coatesville map page links to an Addressing Map, and Chester County provides ChescoViews for parcel information. Use the address-specific maps to check the property’s municipality and tax district instead of relying on a place name alone. The maps do not determine title or who has authority to sign for an estate.

Closing numbers
See what is on the settlement sheet
The sheet lays out the sale price, mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, costs, and the amount scheduled for disbursement. We always review the settlement sheet with the seller and walk through how the money breaks down so there is no confusion. We try to do that the day before closing so settlement is smooth; the title company confirms the final numbers.
Pennsylvania charges a 1% state transfer tax when a house changes hands, and most towns add a local tax on top. When you sell to us, we pay the transfer tax.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from that closing-cost promise.
When things get difficult
We stay with the process
It's real estate. Sometimes there are bumps in the road. We won't disappear when that happens, and we'll be fighting to get this to the closing table.
