Most “we buy houses” companies can offer you one thing — a cash offer, almost certainly below market. As a licensed agent with 20 years of experience, I walk you through every option and tell you honestly which one serves you best.
Close in as few as 7 days. No showings, no repairs, no contingencies. Your home goes in front of thousands of investors simultaneously — they compete, you get a real number, not a single lowball.
List on the open market as-is — no repairs, no staging. In competitive markets, as-is listings attract multiple offers and often produce more than a single cash offer.
Light cleanup, priced right, sold fast — without a full renovation. Faster than traditional, higher than a deep-discount cash offer.
Own your home free and clear? Carry the note and collect monthly payments instead of a lump sum. Often achieves a higher total price over time.
Rent now, sell later. Lock in a future sale price today while collecting rent in the meantime.

Estates with real property in Delaware County are administered through the Register of Wills at 201 W Front Street, Media, PA 19063 — phone (610) 891-4400. Pennsylvania requires full probate for all real estate transfers at death regardless of property value. Once Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration are issued, the executor has legal authority to enter contracts and sell estate property on behalf of the estate.
We can sign a purchase agreement contingent on Letters being issued — locking in price and terms now while probate proceeds. This removes market timing uncertainty and gives the estate a concrete asset value for planning and distribution before the estate fully closes.
Pennsylvania inheritance tax applies to all real estate transferred at death. Rates: 0% for surviving spouses; 4.5% for direct descendants; 12% for siblings; 15% for all other heirs. A 5% discount applies if paid within three months of death; full amount due within nine months. Delaware County values range from modest row homes in Chester to $600,000-plus homes in Haverford — the tax obligation scales accordingly.
For estates with limited liquid assets, selling the real estate is typically the fastest way to generate funds for the tax payment and heir distributions. We can time closings to generate proceeds well ahead of the nine-month deadline.
Chester has a significant volume of estate properties — older row homes and small single-family houses that often come with outstanding city liens, code violations, and decades of accumulated contents. Preparing these for a traditional listing would require months of work and significant expense that most estates cannot justify.
We buy Chester estate properties as-is with full contents inside. City liens and violations are handled at or after closing. The executor signs paperwork once and the property is handled — no return trips, no contractor coordination, no cleanout.
Delaware County also has significant wealth in its Main Line-adjacent communities. Estate properties in Haverford, Swarthmore, Wallingford, and Media can command strong prices — but also have their own complications: stone colonials with expensive maintenance needs, contested wills among multiple heirs, and estates where the property has not been updated in decades despite high underlying values. We evaluate all Delaware County estate properties across the full price spectrum and make offers accordingly.
