Relocation

Need to sell an inherited townhome?

Inheriting a townhome sounds like a gift until the bills start rolling in. Property taxes, HOA dues, insurance, utilities, and repairs on a place you might live hours away from. All while you are grieving, sorting through a relative's belongings, and waiting on the Register of Wills at the Lackawanna County Courthouse before you can do much of anything with the property. Pennsylvania also charges an inheritance tax on most heirs, including a parent's own children, so the math gets ugly quickly. And siblings who cannot agree on what to do with the place? Total mess. Once the estate is clear to sell, you can sell us your inherited townhouse in Scranton Pennsylvania and walk away clean. SMHFSPA pays cash, covers the closing costs, and closes when you are ready.

Frequently Asked Townhouse Selling Questions

Read some of the most frequent questions we get asked by local property owners about selling a townhome fast in Scranton.

Q
Where in Scranton PA do you buy townhouses?
A

We buy townhouses in any Scranton neighborhood and the nearby towns too. Green Ridge, South Side, West Scranton, East Mountain, Hill Section, Minooka, Tripp Park, Petersburg, Bull's Head - plus Dunmore, Taylor, Moosic, Dickson City and Clarks Summit.

Rough block? Doesn't matter to us. We buy townhomes near the Lackawanna River where flooding is a real worry, along the noisy stretches of the Central Scranton Expressway and Route 11, in areas sitting on old mine subsidence, and in neighborhoods with higher crime that other buyers walk away from.

Culm banks out back? Steep hillside? Still interested!

Q
How fast can I sell my Scranton townhome to you?
A

You can sell your Scranton townhome to us in under a month, and often in about two weeks. We are the buyers, so there is no waiting on someone else to fall in love with your place.

Some situations do stretch things out, and that part is not up to us. Probate, a pending divorce, a short sale that needs lender sign-off, a title problem like an old lien or an unrecorded easement, unpaid taxes, or a tenant with rights under a lease - each one adds time when a third party has to approve the deal.

How long it takes to sell a townhouse in those cases depends on the paperwork, not on us. Our experience with tangled situations helps us move things along faster than most.

Either way, our process is built for speed from the first phone call to the closing table.

Q
Can I sell you my townhouse AS IS?
A

You can sell us your townhouse as is, no matter what shape it is in. We buy townhouses as is, in any condition, and none of it scares us off.

Scranton weather is hard on these buildings. Ice dams tear up shared roofs and gutters. Freeze-thaw cycles crack party walls and shift foundations.

Old mine subsidence pulls floors out of level. Lackawanna River flooding soaks basements and ruins furnaces, water heaters and electrical panels.

Add radon, knob-and-tube wiring, failing sewer laterals under a common driveway, and stucco or brick facades coming loose after decades.

Damage like that stops most buyers cold. It does not stop us - fixing up rough properties is what we do.

We have handled the problems in the list below. Yours not there? Reach out anyway.

  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
  10. Unpermitted Work - Sell house with unpermitted work 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
Q
What types of property do you buy in Scranton PA?
A

We buy residential property of any type in Scranton, in any condition. Commercial buildings and vacant land interest us too.

Row houses packed shoulder to shoulder on the hillside streets, coal-era doubles, four-squares, brick duplexes, single family homes, small apartment buildings.

A freehold townhouse where you own the ground under it, or a condo townhouse with an association handling the outside - either one works for us.

Stacked units, live/work townhouses with a storefront downstairs, and converted loft townhomes downtown are all fair game.

Besides selling us your townhome, you can also:

  1. sell your Scranton house fast for cash
  2. sell your Scranton condo fast for cash
  3. sell your Scranton mobile home fast for cash
  4. sell your Scranton duplex fast for cash
  5. sell your Scranton triplex fast for cash
  6. sell your Scranton fourplex fast for cash
  7. sell your Scranton land fast for cash

Q
Can I sell my townhome fast for market value in Scranton Pennsylvania?
A

Selling fast and selling for top dollar rarely happen together. It can work in a hot seller's market if your townhome is turnkey and priced right - but Scranton sellers usually have to pick one: a quick sale or the highest price.

The gap widens when the property comes with problems. Deferred repairs. Water damage in the basement. A title issue. Some situations mean waiting on a third party to sign off, whether that's a lender, a judge or a co-owner who won't return your calls.

Selling your townhouse to a cash buyer investor in Scranton Pennsylvania is the fastest route when your place isn't move-in ready or has baggage attached. Investors buy to make a profit, though, so full retail is not realistic in that scenario.

What we can promise is a fair number. Our offers are built on your townhome's market value with a reasonable margin for us, and we explain the math behind it. No games, no lowball surprise at the closing table.

Q
Will you give me an all-cash offer on my Scranton townhouse?
A

We buy townhomes for cash in Scranton, and we never depend on traditional lenders to do it. No bank underwriter deciding your fate weeks into the deal.

That matters because the usual process is where sales fall apart. A buyer's mortgage company orders an appraisal, sends an inspector through your rooms, then decides your townhouse is too much risk. Deal dead. You start over from scratch.

Here's something that surprises people. When you sell your townhome to a cash buyer investor in Scranton PA, the contract might read "financing" rather than "cash."

Nothing to worry about there. Investors like us sometimes use hard money or private money loans instead of our own funds.

Those take a couple of days to line up, not a couple of months, and they are built specifically for properties in rough shape - the exact properties banks refuse to touch.

Speed stays the same either way. Whether we bring cash or use one of those specialized loans, your closing date does not move.

Q
Will your cash offer for my townhome be fair?
A

Our offer on your townhome will be fair, and we will show you exactly how we got there.

The number comes from your townhouse's as-is market value, what repairs it needs, our holding and closing costs, and a reasonable profit on our end.

Never accept any offer blind, though - not ours, not anyone's. Ask questions. Do the math yourself.

We hand over our calculations and recent Scranton comps so you can check our work. Fair means you can see it for yourself.

Q
How fast will I get a cash offer for my townhouse in Scranton PA?
A

You will usually have our cash offer within 24 hours of us walking through your Scranton townhouse.

A few situations need extra thought on our end. Title defects, old liens, structural damage - those may add a day or two while we work out the strongest number we can give you.

So the honest range is 24 to 72 hours after the viewing. Selling a townhouse to a cash buyer moves quickly from there, and closing typically happens inside a month.

Sometimes we do not wait at all. If your townhome is straightforward, we may hand you an offer right there in your living room!

Q
How to sell a townhouse quickly for cash in Scranton Pennsylvania?
A

The quickest way to sell a townhouse in Scranton is to skip the whole open market and sell straight to a cash buyer company.

We are not shopping for a home to live in. We buy properties as a business, so there is no financing contingency, no appraisal, no inspection report giving somebody cold feet three weeks in.

Compare that to the normal route. Median days on market in the Scranton-Wilkes-Barre-Hazleton metro has been running in the low-to-mid 40s, and that clock only counts the marketing period.

Add agent prep, repair negotiations, the buyer's loan underwriting and a settlement date that keeps sliding, and you are looking at months. Sometimes it falls apart and you start from zero.

Our way is short. You tell us about your townhome, we come look at it, we hand you a cash offer, and you pick the closing date.

No commissions coming out of your proceeds. No closing costs on your side - we cover those. No repairs, no cleaning, no staging your rooms for strangers.

Sell your townhouse fast in Scranton with cash buyers who can close in about two weeks. Request your cash offer and see the number for yourself.

Q
How much does it cost to sell a townhouse to investors?
A

Selling a townhome the traditional way in Scranton is not cheap.

Agent commissions, transfer tax, title and settlement fees, deed prep, document recording, plus whatever repairs a buyer's inspector demands - stacked together, those costs commonly eat 8% to 10% of the sale price.

Pennsylvania has its own twist. The commonwealth charges a 1% realty transfer tax on the value of the property, and the local layer sits on top of that.

Scranton's city ordinance sets its realty transfer tax at 2.2%, which is far above the 1% most Pennsylvania municipalities charge.

That pushes the combined tax on a Scranton deed to 3.2%, usually split between the two parties. On a $200,000 townhouse, the seller's half alone runs into real money.

None of that applies with us. We charge zero commission and zero service fees, unlike agents and unlike iBuyer companies with their percentage cuts buried in the paperwork.

We pay the closing costs. You skip repairs, skip cleaning, skip advertising.

Sell your townhome to a cash buyer company and your out-of-pocket cost is nothing. Request your cash offer and keep what you walk away with.

Q
What if I don’t like your offer?
A

You can turn down our offer and walk away. No strings, no pressure, no salesperson calling you every other day afterward.

Our number is yours to take or leave. Think it over, sleep on it, run it past whoever you trust.

Asking costs you nothing. As cash townhome buyers, we would rather you see our figure and decide for yourself - so why not find out what your Scranton townhouse is worth to us?

Q
Are townhomes hard to sell?
A

How hard it is to sell a townhouse in Scranton depends on the townhome itself. A clean, updated unit in a decent block moves in a month or two on the open market. That is the normal case.

But in Scranton, townhouses are harder to sell than standard single family homes. The buyer pool here is small.

Most Scranton buyers want a house with its own yard, and only a handful of true townhomes trade hands in the city in a given month.

Other things gum up a sale:

  1. A homeowners association with thin reserves or pending litigation scares lenders off.
  2. A shared wall with a neighbor who let their half fall apart.
  3. Old mine subsidence under the foundation.
  4. A basement that took on water from the Lackawanna.
  5. Unpermitted work from decades ago, coal-era wiring, an unclear boundary line on a party wall, or unpaid taxes and a lien sitting on the deed.

Problems like that kill traditional deals. They do not bother us. We buy troubled properties for a living and we do not answer to a mortgage underwriter, so it is easy to sell a townhouse to us no matter what is wrong with it.
