We Share the Same Goal: Better Neighborhoods
Code enforcement officers do some of the most thankless work in local government. You document violations, issue notices, follow up on complaints, and try to hold the line on neighborhood standards — often in situations where the property owner is overwhelmed, absent, or simply out of options.
We Buy Property LLC is a Pittsburgh-based cash home buyer, and we buy distressed properties. Not after they are fixed up. Not after someone else solves the problem. We buy them as-is, close quickly, and then put them back into productive use — renovated, re-occupied, and contributing to the neighborhood rather than dragging it down.
We believe that getting blighted and neglected properties into the hands of someone who will actually take care of them is good for Pittsburgh. For the neighbors who have been dealing with an eyesore. For the block that has been watching a property decline for years. For the city departments that have been chasing a problem that no one will take ownership of.
That is the work we do. And we think it aligns with the work you do.
The Properties We Look For
If you encounter a property in your work that fits any of these descriptions, we would like to know about it:
- Vacant or abandoned properties where the owner is difficult to locate or overwhelmed
- Properties with significant code violations where the owner cannot afford or chooses not to remediate
- Long-neglected homes that have become a neighborhood concern
- Estate properties sitting unaddressed after an owner’s death
- Properties heading toward condemnation where an earlier intervention could save the structure
We are not looking for shortcuts around the enforcement process. We work through proper channels — legitimate purchase agreements, licensed title companies, proper conveyance. We are simply a buyer with the capital and the interest to step in where others won’t.
A Note on Referrals
We want to be straightforward: we do not pay referral fees to public employees or government officials, full stop. That is not how this works, and it is not something we would ever ask anyone to risk their position over.
What we are offering is simply a resource. If you encounter a situation where a property owner needs options, or where a neglected property could benefit from a buyer willing to take it on, you can point people toward us. The same way you might point someone toward any legitimate local business. Nothing more than that.
Our interest is in being a known, trusted resource in the Pittsburgh real estate community — the kind of company that code officers, municipal employees, and neighborhood organizations know exists and know will do the right thing with a property.
We Take Pittsburgh Seriously
We are not a hedge fund. We are not flipping houses for a quick profit with no regard for what comes after. We are a Pittsburgh company buying Pittsburgh properties, and we care about what happens to the neighborhoods we work in. When we buy a distressed property, we renovate it. We put it back on the market as a home someone can live in. We try to leave every block we touch a little better than we found it.
If that mission resonates with you, we would welcome the conversation.
