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 — there is no simplified small estate process available for real property. Once Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration are issued, the executor has authority to manage and sell estate property.
We can sign a purchase agreement contingent on Letters being issued, locking in price and terms before probate is complete. This protects the estate from market timing risk and gives the executor a definite asset value for distribution planning well before the estate closes.
Pennsylvania inheritance tax applies at death to all real estate. Rates: 0% for surviving spouses; 4.5% for direct descendants; 12% for siblings; 15% for all other heirs. Delaware County values range significantly — from $150,000 row homes in Chester to $700,000+ homes in Haverford and Swarthmore. The inheritance tax scales accordingly. A 5% discount applies if paid within three months of death; the full amount is due within nine months.
For estates with limited liquid assets, selling the inherited property promptly is usually the most practical way to satisfy the tax obligation and fund distributions to heirs. We can time closings to generate proceeds well ahead of the nine-month deadline.
Chester — Delaware County's most urban and financially stressed community — has a significant volume of estate properties. Many are older row homes and single-family properties with deferred maintenance, outstanding code violations, and city liens. Preparing these for a traditional listing would require thousands of dollars in work and months of effort.
We buy Chester estate properties as-is. Contents, violations, liens, deferred maintenance — all handled by us after closing. Executors managing Chester estates remotely find this particularly valuable: one visit to sign paperwork, and the property is handled.
Delaware County also has significant wealth in communities like Haverford, Swarthmore, Wallingford, and Media. Estate properties in these communities can command strong prices but often have their own challenges — older stone homes with expensive maintenance, estates where multiple heirs have competing priorities, or properties that have not been updated in decades despite high underlying values. We evaluate all Delaware County estate properties across the full price spectrum.
