Frequently Asked Home Selling Questions

Read some of the most frequent questions we get asked by local homeowners about selling a condemned house fast in Scranton Pennsylvania.

Can you sell a condemned house in Scranton?

Yes, you can sell a condemned property in Scranton.

The legal action to condemn a property can happen to any house that is a risk to the owner’s health and safety.

Dilapidated houses can also pose a problem for nearby houses when the structure risks collapse.

The local authorities will condemn those properties, but a condemned house can still be sold.

Many times selling a condemned property is easier than meeting all the local government regulations to rehab the home to meet health and safety standards.

By selling your condemned property to us, you’ll avoid the headaches of locating competent contractors to do the repairs, the time spent supervising them, and paying for the repair work.

And those headaches don’t compare to dealing with local authorities who have condemned your house.

Do you buy condemned houses anywhere in Scranton PA?

Absolutely! We’re interested in buying your condemned home in Scranton and surrounding areas.

We understand the restrictions on condemned property, and we’re well-versed in filing the legal paperwork to buy your condemned house.

Give us a call when you receive the first notification of the intent to condemn.

We move quickly and can close in a short time to spare you all the stress of dealing with authorities over a condemned property.

How fast can I sell my condemned house in Scranton?

Your condemned property may sit for years on the market in a traditional brokerage listing. The number of buyers for a condemned property is small.

Even if you find a buyer in a traditional listing situation, their inspection period typically kills the sale when the new owner discovers the number and cost of repairs to make the house inhabitable under local health and safety standards.

We have experience dealing with damaged and condemned properties. We won’t abandon you during escrow.

Our experience and expertise in buying properties are well known in Scranton. Once you’ve made the call for an offer, you’ll typically have your cash in hand from the sale in 3 to 30 days.

We’re not just speedy, we’re also not annoying. We won’t ask you for home inspections and nickel and dime you to reduce the price when we have a list of defects from that report.

We’ll make you a fair offer, and if you accept that amount, we’ll pay you the contracted sum. That’s our promise to you.

The quickest way to sell is to contact us BEFORE the local government notifies you they plan to condemn your house.

If you have your first notification, call us. Even if the process has moved to where the court becomes involved, call us.

We have experience buying condemned homes in Scranton at every step in the legal process to condemn your house. There’s no obligation to receive a free offer from us.

Can I sell my house AS IS in Scranton PA?

Dilapidated, abandoned, and overgrown houses typically have a host of other problems in addition to cosmetic issues. We’ve seen it all in Scranton.

If your condemned house also has any of the following problems, we’re still interested in meeting with you to discuss purchasing the property.

Water Damage - Sell water damaged house Scranton PA
Fire Damage - Sell fire damaged house Scranton PA

Condemned properties typically have plumbing and heating issues, but they also regularly have foundation and roof damage.

We’re not deterred by any of those problems or any other defects on this list that your condemned property may have.

What type of properties do you buy?

We buy a variety of properties that have been condemned, including multifamily homes, attached houses, and manufactured housing.

We also buy a home involved in a complex situation where part of a multifamily unit has been condemned while other parts haven’t. We look for:

How to sell a condemned house in Scranton?

Selling a condemned house in Scranton is a challenging task. Let’s start with the quickest way to sell.

The Easy Sale:

1) Contact us for an obligation-free consultation.

2) We visit your property and then make an offer.

3) If you accept, we open escrow and handle all the paperwork and filing to allow the sale to move forward to close.

4) We pay your closing costs.

5) Once we close, you’ll receive cash for your house.

6) We’ll negotiate all the legal hoops dealing with the condemned property. The sooner you call us, the faster the sale.

The next option has no guarantee for a sale. You’ll also need to wrangle the local government’s legal hoops to sell your condemned house.

The Difficult Sale:

1) Research agents in the area to locate a Realtor who will represent you in a condemned house sale.

2) Find an agent with experience in dealing with condemned property.

3) List the property and complete a detailed property disclosure statement.

4) Market the property to a small pool of prospective buyers. Most traditional buyers aren’t interested in fixers, let alone condemned property.

5) Wait for a buyer. This could take years for a condemned property.

6) Accept an offer, open escrow, and pay the fees, commissions, and all the closing costs.

7) Negotiate with the local government to handle the requirements of a condemned property sale. This may involve working with a court of law.

The Impossible Sale:

Put a sign on the property and hope a buyer sees it. Your property will sit for a long time if using this approach – maybe years.

Is it hard to sell a condemned house in Scranton PA?

To be frank, yes. It’s extremely difficult to sell a condemned house in Scranton.

The truth is many investors aren’t even interested in property that has been condemned.
