Frequently Asked Home Selling Questions

Q
Can I sell a house in a bad neighborhood of Scranton?
A

Yes, you can sell us your house if it’s located in any neighborhood in Scranton. “Bad” is a subjective term.

Some people might describe a “bad neighborhood” as one with houses that are in disrepair or a home on a street with abandoned houses.

Some refer to a high crime rate. If your property is located in such a place, we are still interested in it.

For others, a “bad neighborhood” might mean a house located on a busy street or one near railroad tracks.

You can sell us your house in such a location as well. We will buy your house in any neighborhood of Scranton!

Q
Do you buy houses anywhere in Scranton PA?
A

Yes, absolutely! We buy houses anywhere in Scranton PA and its surroundings.

We buy houses near railroad tracks, abandoned buildings, on streets with numerous fixers, high crime rate, and even in areas with some environmental hazards.

A

We have cash to buy your property. We won’t ask you to wait for an appraiser to do a report on your property.

We don’t use professional appraisers. We don’t ask you to wait for underwriters to approve a loan. We don’t need underwriters.

We have cash, and we can close quickly on any home in any neighborhood of Scranton.

Q
Can I sell my house AS IS in a bad location of Scranton?
A

In addition to being located in a difficult neighborhood in Scranton, your house may have condition issues.

We don’t care. We really don’t. It’s our business to buy and repair homes.

If your home has extensive termite damage, that’s not a problem. Do you have black mold or fire damage?

We’re in. Your roof leaks? We’re still interested. We really do want to buy your house in AS IS condition.

We won’t ask you to do any repairs before we close the sale. Not one fix or repair. You can even leave things behind when you move!

If your home has any of the following condition issues, or even more than one, we’re still interested in looking at your house to see if we can offer a fair price.

These are the conditions we’ve handled in prior sales:

  1. Water Damage - Sell water damaged house Scranton PA
  2. Fire Damage - Sell fire damaged house Scranton PA
  3. Roof Damage - Sell house with roof damage Scranton PA
  4. Mold Damage - Sell house with mold damage Scranton PA
  5. Foundation Damage - Sell house with foundation damage Scranton PA
  6. Termite Damage - Sell house with termite damage Scranton PA
  7. Polybutylene Pipes - Sell house with polybutylene pipes Scranton PA
  8. Lead-Based Paint - Sell house with lead-based paint Scranton PA
  9. Septic Damage - Sell house with septic damage Scranton PA

  11. Lead Pipes - Sell house with lead pipes Scranton PA
  12. Asbestos - Sell house with asbestos Scranton PA
  13. Hoarder - Sell hoarder house Scranton PA
  14. Radon - Sell house with radon Scranton PA

If you list your home on a traditional real estate contract, you’ll need to complete a full property disclosure listing all of the defects and problems with the house.

State law mandates sellers make a written property condition statement that requires you to disclose ALL material defects.

Typically, this disclosure form scares many prospective buyers who aren’t interested in purchasing a fixer, especially one with major problems.

We aren’t typical buyers. A disclosure form doesn’t scare us.

We’ve purchased many homes with major material defects.

Q
What type of properties do you buy?
A

We buy all types of homes in all sorts of neighborhoods! We even buy vacant land that’s zoned for residential use!

Q
How to sell my house in a bad neighborhood in Scranton?
A

There are several ways to sell your home in a bad location in Scranton.

The Easy Way:

  1. Request a free, no-obligation offer.
  2. Meet us at your house for a walkthrough.
  3. If you like our offer, sign the sales contract, and we’ll open escrow.
  4. Title search comes next.
  5. Buyer and seller sign documents, and escrow closes in 3-30 days. You’ll receive your cash at closing. We’ll even pay your closing costs!

The Hard Way:

  1. Shop for a real estate agent to represent you. Look for an agent who has experience listing, marketing and, most importantly, selling a house in a bad neighborhood.
  2. Complete the property disclosure and sign the listing contract.
  3. Market the house to the public.
  4. Prospective buyers will bring in inspectors to look at your house and write reports. They’ll negotiate to reduce the price paid for your home based on the inspection report.
  5. Once you have an offer accepted, your agent will have you sign the sales contract, and escrow will be opened. Title will be ordered during escrow.
  6. You’ll wait for your buyer to qualify for a mortgage, home appraisals to happen, and the lender to approve the mortgage.
  7. The buyer’s lender will match the appraisal with the sales price. If the two don’t match, you’ll need to re-negotiate a price with your buyer or arrange additional appraisals.
  8. Buyer and seller sign closing documents, and you’ll receive any cash remaining after your closing costs are paid and your lender receives payment.

The Really Hard Way:

  1. Place a sign on the property and hope it attracts a buyer. This will take some time, typically a long time, for your home to sell.
  2. You’ll complete the property disclosure.
  3. You’ll market your house to the public, and wait for a buyer.
  4. Once you’ve found your buyer, the sale will progress as if you had a real estate agent, except you’ll be in charge of handling all the paperwork. You’ll be the person to open escrow and guide the sale through that process.

You won’t need to think about how to sell a nice house in a bad neighborhood of Scranton PA when you sell your house to us for cash.

We’ll take care of all the details of the sale. You can even leave your unwanted items in the house. We’ll handle the disposal!

Q
Is it hard to sell a nice house in a bad neighborhood of Scranton PA?
A

Yes, the surrounding neighborhood can pose major challenges for homeowners when they want to sell.

Selling a house in any neighborhood requires finding the right buyer for the right house.

Matching a buyer with your house can be challenging when the neighborhood has some location or condition issues.

Location and condition issues make finding a buyer even more difficult.

If you’re interested in selling, we’d like to tour your house. We will be able to offer you cash for your home.

We don’t need to satisfy lenders who might not want to make a loan on a house in certain neighborhoods.

We use cash, and we don’t have any restrictions from lenders. We also don’t use appraisers.

This is particularly important when your home is located in a challenging location.

Your house may not appraise at a price you would like when other homes in the neighborhood have sold for less because they’re near vacant or run down houses.

We don’t use appraisers, so you don’t need to worry that your home won’t meet the value listed on an appraisal report.

We’ll make you an offer and stand by that price.
