Sell Your House Before Foreclosure Fast for Cash in Scranton PA

You can sell your house fast before it goes into foreclosure, and Scranton owners do it all the time.

The clock is what makes this hard. Pennsylvania runs foreclosure through the courts, so you get some breathing room, but the moment a sheriff's sale date gets set, that room disappears.

Trying a regular sale in that window is a gamble. Weeks pass while you wait for someone to make an offer.

Then their inspector walks through and writes up the roof, the furnace, the wiring.

If you have been in mortgage default for months, chances are the repairs got pushed off along with the payments.

Their lender takes one look at a home in default with a leaking roof and backs away from the loan, and you start over with nothing to show for the wait.

We buy for cash, take the house as it stands, and close in about two weeks when the title work cooperates.

Move early and you give yourself a real shot to prevent foreclosure!

We buy in every Scranton neighborhood and in nearby towns: Green Ridge, Hyde Park, North Scranton, the Hill Section, South Side, Minooka, plus Dunmore, Taylor, Old Forge, Moosic, and Clarks Summit.

The blocks other buyers cross off their map are still on ours.

Houses sitting over abandoned anthracite workings where the ground has shifted.

Properties down in the Lackawanna River floodplain that take water every spring thaw.

Homes pinned against the I-81 corridor, an active rail line, or a tired industrial parcel. Streets carrying a rough reputation.

None of that changes our answer. If you need to sell your house due to foreclosure, where the property sits will not be the sticking point.

Speed is everything here, and a conventional sale does not deliver it.

Houses in Lackawanna County spend a median of roughly 45 days on the market before they even go under contract.

A settlement with a mortgage buyer piles another month or more on top of that.

Call it three months from first showing to keys, and that is if nothing falls apart along the way.

A foreclosure notice does not care about that timeline.

Once judgment is entered and the sheriff puts your address on the sale calendar, your window is fixed.

When you need to sell your house when you are in foreclosure, the fix is a buyer who already has the money and doesn't need permission from anyone. That's us.

No traditional lender to satisfy, no appraisal to fight over, no inspection contingency hanging above your head.

Two to three weeks is our usual pace, which in most cases leaves enough runway to sell a house before a foreclosure auction and settle up on the bank foreclosure.

You can sell your Scranton house exactly as it stands, whatever shape it happens to be in. We ask for no repairs and hand you no punch list.

Old housing stock in this valley carries its own baggage.

Roofs that quit after one winter too many of ice dams and snow load.

Basements that took on water from the Lackawanna River or from a spring melt with nowhere to drain.

Foundations pulled apart by ground settling over mine workings, a problem this area has lived with since the anthracite days.

Knob and tube wiring, buried oil tanks, coal era plaster, radon readings that send buyers running.

None of it puts us off, because fixing broken houses is the whole business we're in.

Owners who sell a home in foreclosure have usually gone a long stretch without money for upkeep, and we understand how that goes.
