Sell your Philadelphia house for cash
Philadelphia is a city of rowhomes, many over a century old, from Kensington and Frankford to West and Southwest Philly. I'm based in Wichita and buy Philadelphia houses as-is, including ones with title problems from being passed down without an estate.
Get a written cash offer usually within 24 hours. No repairs, no showings, no commissions, and you choose the closing date. When you call, you talk to Brayden, not a call center.

How selling your Philadelphia house works

Close on the date you pick
If you accept, a local title company handles the paperwork and you're paid at closing. If you don't, that's the end of it.

Selling in Philadelphia: what to know
- Foreclosure in Pennsylvania
- Judicial (through the courts)
- Pennsylvania foreclosures go through the Court of Common Pleas and end in a sheriff's sale. Lenders must send the required pre-foreclosure notices first, and the whole process usually takes many months.
- Probate
- When someone dies owning a house in Philadelphia, the estate is usually handled through the Philadelphia Register of Wills (disputes go to the Orphans' Court).
What I hear from Philadelphia sellers
- 'Tangled title': a family home passed down without anyone opening an estate at the Register of Wills.
- Rowhomes that need roofs, plumbing or structural work.
- Owners behind on mortgage or property taxes heading toward a sheriff's sale.
Philadelphia questions
Do you really buy houses in Philadelphia if you're based in Wichita?
Yes. I'm based in Wichita, Kansas, and I buy houses in Philadelphia and its suburbs across Philadelphia County. You talk to me, Brayden, from the first call to closing, not a call center. Closing happens at a Pennsylvania title company or closing attorney, so you don't have to travel.
How does foreclosure work in Pennsylvania, and can I still sell?
Pennsylvania foreclosures go through the Court of Common Pleas and end in a sheriff's sale. Lenders must send the required pre-foreclosure notices first, and the whole process usually takes many months. A sale that closes before the foreclosure sale can pay off the loan, if the price covers what's owed. I'm not a lawyer, so talk to one or a HUD-approved housing counselor about your options too.
I inherited a house in Philadelphia. Can I sell it before probate is finished?
Usually someone needs legal authority to sell, typically an executor or administrator appointed through the Philadelphia Register of Wills (disputes go to the Orphans' Court). I can make an offer now and set the closing for after that's in place. A probate attorney can tell you exactly what your situation needs.
Will you buy the house yourself, or assign the contract?
Sometimes I buy a house myself, and sometimes I assign my purchase contract to another investor who closes instead. Either way, your price and closing date are the ones in the contract you sign, and I'll tell you up front how your sale will work. Philadelphia regulates assigning purchase contracts (wholesaling), so I follow its licensing rules and work with licensed partners where the law requires it.
How fast can you close on a house in Philadelphia?
Closing is usually within two to three weeks once the title company or closing attorney has what it needs. If you need more time, pick a later date.
Do I need to make repairs or clean the house out?
No. I buy as-is. You can leave behind anything you don't want to take with you.
