Pittsburgh homeowners who are considering a fast cash sale often have the same questions. Here are honest, direct answers to the ones we hear most often.
How fast can you really close on a Pittsburgh house?
As fast as 7 days from the day you accept our offer, assuming title comes back clean and everyone moves quickly. The more common timeline for a straightforward sale is 14-21 days. The bottleneck is always the title search — typically three to five business days — not us. If you have a hard deadline, tell us upfront and we will structure the process around it.
Will I get fair market value for my home?
Our offer reflects the as-is condition of your home, the cost of repairs we take on, and current comparable sales in your area. It will be lower than what a fully renovated home would list for — but you are also skipping agent commissions (typically 5-6%), repair costs, months of carrying costs, and the risk of a deal falling through. When you factor all of that in, many Pittsburgh sellers find the net difference is smaller than they expected.
Do I have to make any repairs before selling?
No. We buy Pittsburgh homes exactly as they are. Deferred maintenance, outdated systems, cosmetic damage, structural issues, fire or water damage — we make offers on all of it. Whatever shape the property is in right now is the shape we buy it in.
What if there are liens on the property?
Liens do not automatically kill a sale. When we open title, the title company identifies any outstanding liens — property taxes, mechanic’s liens, judgment liens, mortgage arrears. In most cases, those get paid off at closing from the sale proceeds. You usually do not need to come up with cash upfront to clear liens.
Are there any fees or commissions?
No agent commissions. No fees charged to the seller. We cover all standard closing costs on our side. What we offer is what you walk away with, minus any mortgage payoff and standard title fees.
Do you buy houses in my area?
We buy houses throughout the Pittsburgh metro — Allegheny County, Washington County, Beaver County, Butler County, Westmoreland County, and Armstrong County. If you are in or around Pittsburgh, we want to hear from you.
