The House Needs Work. You Don’t Have to Do It.
Pittsburgh housing stock is old — much of it built in the early-to-mid 1900s, with everything that implies: knob-and-tube wiring, dated plumbing, foundation movement from freeze-thaw, roofs patched one too many times, kitchens untouched since the ’70s.
If you’ve been putting off selling because the house needs work, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to fix a thing. We buy it exactly as it sits.
How It Works
- Submit the property — Be honest about the condition; the more we know, the more accurate the offer.
- One walkthrough — We assess it ourselves. No parade of contractors and inspectors.
- Cash offer within 24 hours — Based on actual as-is condition. The number we give is the number we close at.
- Close on your schedule — As fast as 7 days. Leave what you don’t want; we handle the cleanout.

What “As-Is” Actually Means With Us
Some buyers say “as-is,” then come back after inspection with a list of credits. We don’t. Our offer reflects the home’s condition as we see it on the walkthrough — that number is what we close at. We’ve bought homes with:
- Foundation cracks and water intrusion
- Roofs at the end of their life
- Full rewire and replumbing needed
- Major mold or moisture damage
- Structural damage
- Open code violations and permits
- Hoarder-level contents throughout
None of it stops a sale. It affects the price — but we account for it upfront, so there are no surprises at the table.
The Real Cost of Fixing It First
Should you repair before selling? Usually the math says no. Consider what major work runs in the Pittsburgh market:
| Repair | Typical cost | The catch |
|---|---|---|
| New roof | $8,000–$15,000+ | Money out before you’ve sold |
| Kitchen remodel | $20,000+ | Easy to go over budget |
| Foundation repair | $5,000–$25,000+ | Scope often grows once opened |
| Full rewire | $8,000–$20,000 | Plus drywall and permits |
And after all that spend, you still have to list, wait, and pay 5–6% commission — with a buyer who can still walk after inspection. An as-is cash sale skips the renovation gamble entirely.
Frequently Asked Questions
My house is in really rough shape — will you still buy it?
Yes. Condition affects price, not whether we’ll buy. We’ve purchased homes in every condition.
Will you renegotiate after an inspection?
No. We assess once, upfront. The offer you accept is what we close at.
Do I have to clean it out?
No. Take what you want and leave the rest — the cleanout is on us.
What about open code violations or permits?
Tell us about them. We factor them into the offer and deal with them after closing.
How fast can you close?
As little as 7 days, or longer if you need time.
