Frequently Asked Home Selling Questions

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

Q
Can I sell my storm-damaged house in Scranton?
A

Yes, you can sell your storm-damaged house in Scranton, but the law requires that you disclose the storm damage to potential buyers.

Pennsylvania regulations require all sellers of real property to disclose any material defects or any problems that would risk the health and safety of the residents. A material defect is anything that reduces the value of the house.

Storm-damaged homes have less value, sometimes even after repairs have been made.

Storm-damage that creates problems such as black mold, structural issues, or foundation damage risks the safety of the new owners. These conditions must be disclosed to prospective buyers.

Q
Do you buy homes with storm damage anywhere in Scranton PA?
A

Absolutely! We buy homes with any sort of storm damage anywhere in Scranton PA! This includes even flood zones, bad neighborhoods, and the city’s surrounding area.

Q
How fast can I sell my storm-damaged house in Scranton?
A

The answer to this question depends on your buyer. You can sell your storm-damaged house in Scranton to us, and we can close in an average of 3-30 days.

That’s 3-30 days from the time you accept our offer and sign the sales contract until the time you have your cash in your bank account.

Selling to other buyers can take months, or even years, as it would be difficult to locate a buyer interested in a storm-damaged house and close the sale.

Traditional home buyers, if they’re interested in a fixer, will take time to assess the damages and the cost for repairs.

We don’t need to waste your time bringing in inspectors and contractors to do this. We can make you a cash offer without these assessments. We close sales quickly.

Q
Can I sell my house with storm damage AS IS in Scranton PA?
A

Yes, you can sell a house with storm damage as an ‘as is’ listing in Scranton PA.

We’re interested in paying cash for your storm-damaged home, even if it also has any, or all, of the damage or issues listed below.

  1. Water Damage - Sell water damaged house Scranton PA

Q
How to sell my house with storm damage in Scranton?
A

Homeowners have several options to sell a storm-damaged house in Scranton.

The Easy Way:

  1. Contact us to come for a visit to your house.
  2. Accept our cash offer, and we’ll open escrow.
  3. In an average of 3-30 days, we’ll close escrow, and you’ll have cash!
  4. We’ll pay your closing costs, and you can leave unwanted things behind in the house.
  5. That’s it. In just days, you’ll have sold your house with storm damage without fixing a thing.

The Hard Way:

  1. Locate a real estate agent with experience in listing and selling storm-damaged houses.
  2. List your property and complete the Scranton PA-mandated property disclosure listing the storm damage and any other problems with your home.
  3. Market your house. This may include numerous open houses for the public to tour your house.
  4. Wait for an offer. This may take time with a storm-damaged property.
  5. Accept an offer, sign a sales contract, and open escrow.
  6. Allow your buyer access to the house for home inspections.
  7. Renegotiate the sale when your buyer discovered the extent of the storm damage and any other defects or problems that need addressed.
  8. Wait for your buyer to locate a lender who will write a new mortgage on a storm-damaged house. Many will refuse to do that, so you may wait some time during this step.
  9. Wait for your buyer to locate an insurance company who’ll write a new policy on a home with prior storm damage. This also may be difficult.
  10. Close escrow, pay your agent’s commission, and your closing costs.

The Really Hard Way:

  1. List the property yourself. Complete the required property disclosure to give to your prospective buyers.
  2. Determine the best ways to market your house to the public and hope you find a buyer who is looking for a house with storm damage.
  3. Wait for a buyer and sign the sales contract.
  4. Locate escrow and title companies, and then open escrow. Submit the documents necessary to do both.
  5. Open your house to the inspectors your buyer hires to examine your house.
  6. Wait as your buyer has the same trouble locating a lender and insurance to purchase your home. You won’t have the professional assistance from a Realtor, so you’ll need to assist your buyer in shopping for companies.
  7. If this proves impossible, locate a cash buyer for your house. You may need to sell and relist your property several times before you find a buyer who has the ability to pay cash and is willing to meet your price for your property.
  8. Close escrow and pay your closing costs and fees.
Q
Should I disclose storm damage when selling a home in Scranton?
A

Yes, absolutely. Pennsylvania law requires sellers to disclose storm damage when selling a home in Scranton.

Pennsylvania has a mandatory written property disclosure that all sellers must complete before listing a house for sale – any sort of home.

Homeowners listing multifamily residences with four units and fewer must complete the form, as do sellers of manufactured housing and mobile homes. All sellers must disclose the items on the commonwealth’s mandated form.

If a seller fails to disclose the problems related to storm damage, home buyers can back out of the sale without penalty when they discover the omission.

If homebuyers discover the seller failed to disclose known damages, they can take legal action against the seller.

Sometimes, this happens years after the sale closes if the court views it was an omission to defraud buyers.

Q
Is selling a storm-damaged house hard in Scranton?
A

Yes and no – selling a storm-damaged house in Scranton can be difficult, but it doesn’t have to be hard when you sell to us.

Traditional homebuyers aren’t interested in fixing any sort of major problems, and storm damage typically requires serious repairs. So, prospective buyers generally aren’t interested in buying fixers.

We are interested in buying fixers, and we have purchased storm-damaged houses in the past. Contact us to see if you like our cash offer!
