Is We Buy Property a legitimate company?

Yes. We Buy Property LLC is a BBB-accredited, A+ rated company based on Pittsburgh South Side, with a 5.0-star Google rating across 91 reviews and features on WPXI Channel 11 and The Center Square. We never charge upfront fees and every offer comes in writing.

Do you really pay cash?

Yes - our own funds, no bank financing, no waiting on loan approvals. We provide proof of funds on request, which is exactly what you should demand from any buyer before signing anything.

Do you really close in 30 days or less?

Yes - most of our closings finish in 7 to 21 days. The title search takes 3 to 5 business days at a local Pittsburgh title company and we can close as soon as it clears. You pick the date; if you need more than 30 days, that works too.

Do you really buy houses as-is?

Yes - completely as-is. No repairs, no inspections to pass, no cleaning. Take what you want and leave the rest, including furniture and belongings. We handle the entire cleanout after closing.

Do you really buy houses all over Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas?

Yes - every Pittsburgh neighborhood plus all of Allegheny, Washington, Beaver, Butler, Westmoreland, and Armstrong counties. From Penn Hills to Bethel Park, McKees Rocks to Verona - city, suburb, or small town.

Do you really charge no fees or commissions?

Correct - zero. No commissions, no service fees, and we pay standard closing costs. The written offer is the amount you walk away with at closing.

Who actually buys my house - is it really you?

Yes. We Buy Property purchases homes directly - you deal with owner Mark Schinzel and our local team, not a call center, franchise, or middleman reselling your contract.

How do you calculate my cash offer?

Recent sales within about a mile of your home, the current condition of the property, and real repair costs. We walk you through the math line by line - no mystery numbers, no pressure to accept.

Can you really help if I am behind on payments or facing foreclosure?

Often, yes. A cash closing before the sheriff sale date pays off the mortgage debt and stops the process - the earlier you call, the more equity you keep. And if keeping your home is the better path, we will point you to assistance programs instead of buying it.

What do I need to sell my house to you?

Just a government-issued ID, your deed if available, and any loan or lien information. The title company and our team prepare everything else - the agreement, disclosures, and closing documents.

We Buy Houses in Lincoln–Lemington, Pittsburgh — Cash Offer in 24 Hours

We Buy Property LLC buys houses in Lincoln–Lemington–Belmar for cash, as-is. It is a northeastern Pittsburgh neighborhood of about 1.8 square miles — one of the larger city neighborhoods by land area — bordered by Larimer, Highland Park, Homewood and Penn Hills, and split by Lemington Avenue into what residents call Upper Lincoln and Lower Lincoln. We buy here occupied, vacant, tenant-occupied, inherited or tax-delinquent, and we have been buying across the Pittsburgh metro since 2018.

Upper Lincoln and Lower Lincoln Do Not Sell the Same Way

This neighborhood is steep enough that downtown Pittsburgh, eight miles off, is visible from much of Upper Lincoln, and eight separate flights of city steps carry foot traffic through the grades. That topography is not trivia when you are selling. Hillside lots mean retaining walls, drainage, settling foundations and driveways that a home inspector will flag and a lender will price in. Two houses of identical square footage on opposite sides of Lemington Avenue can be very different sales.

The 2010 census counted 4,883 residents across 1.812 square miles — roughly 2,695 per square mile, low for a city neighborhood, which tells you how much has come down or emptied out. The area was white from the early 1920s until the early 1970s and is predominantly Black today; a great deal of its housing dates to that first period and has been held by one family ever since.

City Rules, Not Borough Rules

Unlike the Turtle Creek Valley boroughs, the City of Pittsburgh does not require a borough-style occupancy inspection at point of sale. What you deal with here is Permits, Licenses and Inspections (PLI) on citations, and, on a distressed property, the Pittsburgh Land Bank, the City Treasurer’s sale and the Allegheny County Sheriff’s sale.

Liens and back taxes are paid at closing. They do not have to be cleared before you can sell, and they are searchable through Allegheny County court records.
Sheriff’s sales run the first Monday of each month, and a prior owner can redeem by paying the full back taxes within 90 days of the sale. See stopping a foreclosure in Allegheny County.
Act 135 conservatorship lets a third party petition a court to take over a property that has been vacant twelve months and meets the blight definition. On a vacant Lincoln–Lemington property, selling beats losing control of it.

What We Actually Buy Here

The recurring Lincoln–Lemington situation is an inherited house: a parent or grandparent bought in the 1950s or 1960s, held it for fifty years, and the heirs are now scattered — often out of state — holding a property with a failing roof, an old furnace, a hillside that needs attention and a tax bill that has been quietly accruing. Nobody wants to be the one to fix it, and nobody wants to be the one to sell it. It sits.

We buy it in that condition, at that stage, with the belongings still inside and without asking anyone to write a check first.

Frequently Asked Questions — Selling a House in Lincoln–Lemington

The property has hillside and drainage problems. Is that a dealbreaker?

No. It is a dealbreaker for a mortgage, which is why these houses sit. We price the condition and buy it.

Several siblings are on the deed and we do not all agree.

Common here. We can usually work with whatever the title company needs, and we will tell you plainly what has to be resolved before a closing can happen.

I live out of state and have not seen the house in years.

That is fine. We arrange access, handle the walk-through and close remotely.

Fees?

None. No commissions, no listing fees, standard closing costs covered. Cash offer within 24 hours; closing typically 7 to 14 days on your date.
