We Buy Scranton, PA Homes
In Any Situation
Whatever brought you here — foreclosure, divorce, inherited property, tax liens, or just a house you can't afford to fix — Simply Sold RE has helped Scranton homeowners through it. Fair cash offer in 24 hours. Close in 7 days or on your timeline.
If You're Selling, We're Buying — No Matter Why
Traditional buyers want move-in-ready homes from motivated-but-not-desperate sellers. We work the other way around. The harder your situation, the more important it is to have a buyer who can move fast, pay cash, and close without contingencies. That's exactly what we do for Scranton homeowners every day. Whatever the situation, here is how we buy houses in Scranton and how we buy houses in Wilkes-Barre.
12 Situations We Buy Houses In
Click any situation to see how the process works, what to expect, and what Scranton homeowners in that same situation have done with us.
Behind on mortgage payments with the clock ticking? A cash sale before the auction date stops the foreclosure, protects your credit, and puts equity in your pocket — not the bank's.
Divorce requires a clean break. We work with both parties and their attorneys to close fast, split proceeds at the title company, and eliminate the shared home from the equation entirely.
Inheriting a property comes with real costs — property taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance — while probate drags on. We buy probate-ready and post-probate properties as-is, any condition.
Foundation issues, fire damage, mold, roof collapse, code violations — traditional buyers walk away. Banks won't finance it. We pay cash for homes in any physical condition, as-is, no exceptions.
Unpaid property taxes in Lackawanna County can lead to a tax sale in as little as two years. A cash sale clears the lien at closing, stops the tax sale clock, and gets you any remaining equity.
Job transfer, family move, or a fresh start somewhere new — a 90-day listing timeline doesn't work when you need to be somewhere else. We close in 7 days or fit your exact move-out schedule.
Problem tenants, evictions, maintenance calls at midnight — done. We buy rental properties tenant-occupied or vacant. You don't evict anyone, make any repairs, or coordinate a single showing.
Moving to assisted living, a smaller home, or a family member's house? Skip the showings, open houses, and weeks of waiting. Get a cash offer, close when you're ready, and move on your terms.
Your buyer's mortgage was denied, the appraisal came in low, or they walked at inspection. Learn who keeps the deposit under a Pennsylvania Agreement of Sale, what the failed inspection now obliges you to disclose, how long a re-list really takes, and what a no-contingency cash sale looks like instead.
A day-by-day walk through a real seven-day Pennsylvania cash closing: the title search at the county Recorder of Deeds, tax and lien certifications, municipal inspections some NEPA boroughs require, and the estate, tenant and lien issues that stretch a week into three. Plus a side-by-side with a financed sale.
You can legally sell your own home in Pennsylvania. This guide covers what the state requires of you anyway: the Seller Disclosure Law, a written Agreement of Sale, deposit escrow and a title company closing. Then the real cost of FSBO in Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, and an honest comparison with a direct cash sale.
Need the sale done before you are ready to leave? A post-closing occupancy agreement (rent-back) lets you settle, receive your proceeds and stay in the house for an agreed period. How it works in Pennsylvania, the terms to insist on, the landlord-tenant risk for buyers, and why it is simpler with a cash buyer.
