Frequently Asked Home Selling Questions

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

Q
Can I sell my house privately online to a cash investor in Scranton?
A

Yes! You can sell your property privately online to a cash investor via our site.

Once you request a no-obligation, free cash offer through our quick online form, our representative will contact you to arrange a visit to your house.

After that, you will receive a cash offer within three days. Once you accept the offer, escrow is opened, and in just a matter of days, the sale will close and you’ll have cash for your property.

That’s the way our company operates. We’re the leading cash house buying company in Scranton, and we have the training, expertise and experience to handle the sale professionally and close quickly.

Q
Do you buy homes privately anywhere in Scranton PA?
A

Yes, absolutely! We buy homes privately anywhere in Scranton PA and the surrounding area, no matter if the location of your property is popular among buyers.

We make the process of selling a house privately quick and easy!

Q
How long does it take to sell a house privately in Scranton?
A

When you sell your home privately to us, we can close in an average of 3 to 30 days.

When you sell your house in Scranton by using a real estate agent, it can take many more months to locate a buyer and close the deal. Here is why.

Many buyers using agents require a mortgage to purchase your house. Mortgages take time for your buyer to qualify, your house to appraise, and also time for the lender to review all the borrower’s application and paperwork and approve the loan.

Also, if an agent isn’t allowed to use public marketing channels to advertise your home privately, this will slow down the sale even more.

We don’t use traditional lenders, so there’s no wait when you sell to us. We have cash, and we’re ready to open escrow immediately once you accept our cash offer. You won’t waste your time waiting for us to close a sale.

Most agents don’t have a list of clients waiting to purchase your house on the first day it’s listed. Selling with an agent requires time to market the house, negotiate a sale, and then wait for the sale to close.

Your house may sit for many months on the market without a buyer. Once you contact us for a free cash offer, we’ll come out for a visit and make you an offer. You won’t wait months for an offer in a cash sale with us.

Q
Can I sell my house privately AS IS in Scranton PA?

Q
What type of property do you buy?
Q
What are the pros and cons of selling your home privately in Scranton PA?
A

The advantages of selling your home in Scranton PA to a real estate investor without using a real estate agent, include:

  1. You sell quick
  2. You sell for cash
  3. You sell “AS IS”
  4. No extra expenses
  5. No endless showings
  6. No waiting months for a buyer

When you sell to us, we’ll also pay your closing costs and you can leave items you don’t want in the home. That’s a major time and cash savings!

As for the disadvantage, you’ll probably not get a cash offer corresponding to the market value of your home.

When you sell to us, we’re happy to have you leave any unwanted items behind. That can speed up the moving process dramatically.

We’re also totally transparent about our professional record buying houses for cash.

Q
How to sell your house online privately without real estate agents in Scranton PA?
A

Selling your house online privately without a real estate agent in Scranton PA is quick and easy.

What to do when selling a house privately? You’ll need to complete only three basic steps.

  1. Contact us for a free cash offer. We’ll visit your house for a walkthrough.
  2. We’ll give you a written cash offer for your house. If you accept our offer, we’ll open escrow and handle all the details that an agent traditionally does, without the commission fee!
  3. Close escrow, and we’ll pay all the closing costs.

That’s it. Quick and simple.

Of course, you have the option to use a licensed real estate agent when selling online privately, if you choose, but you’ll be on the hook to pay the commission to your agent on the sale.

Q
Do I need a lawyer to sell my house privately in Scranton PA?
A

No. The process of selling a house privately can be done without a lawyer, although you can use one during the sale to a private investor if you want.

Since attorneys charge a fee for their work, you may decide to forgo their services when you sell your house in Scranton PA privately.

Our company handles the sales contract, opens escrow, and provides all the legal paperwork to close escrow.

We take care of all the traditional duties that an attorney would normally handle. We also won’t charge you for those services.

Q
Are there any legal requirements for selling your house privately in Scranton PA?
A

Yes, there are two legal requirements for selling your house privately in Scranton PA.

The first legal requirement mandates the seller to complete a property disclosure form, and then deliver it to your prospective buyer. This disclosure is required from any homeowner selling a house in Scranton PA.

The second requirement for a sale is a written contract signed by both seller and buyer.

Legal contracts have several elements, including the physical description and address of the property, closing date, closing costs, any contingencies to the sale, financing arrangements and a purchase price.

The contract must be dated, and also be signed by both the seller and buyer with dated signatures.

We’re experienced cash house buyers with a long list of closed sales in Scranton PA. We know contract law and can make a cash offer by using a contract that satisfies all the legal requirements.

Q
Can I take my house off the market and sell privately after listing with a Realtor in Scranton PA?
A

Yes, you can take your house off the market and sell privately after a contract with the agent has expired.

Your contract with the real estate broker should cite a starting and ending date for the listing. If it doesn’t, it isn’t a valid contract, and you can sell privately to anyone.

If the listing does state an end date for the contract to expire, you are legally bound to honor that date.

However, many real estate agents will void the contract for clients who ask to end the listing. If your agent won’t, then you legally cannot sell privately until the contract end date has passed.

If a new buyer for your property contacted your agent or worked with the agent to tour your property while it was listed, your real estate agent may have a legal right to charge you a commission as the agent who procured your buyer, even when the sale took place after the listing was removed.
