We buy houses in Pottstown

Two minutes. No fee, no obligation.
What the housing stock is
Two and three-story brick rows and twins through the borough, some large Victorians on the better streets, and a good deal of converted multi-family. Built around an industry that left, and priced accordingly — values here look nothing like Ambler or Lansdale thirty minutes east.
What we run into
- Deep tax arrears across county, borough and school district, sometimes going back years.
- Vacancy. A house nobody has been inside for a while, with the copper gone and the roof letting go.
- Unpermitted conversions and rental registrations that were never kept current.
- The borough inspection before transfer, which on this stock is a long list.
Why it is worth calling anyway
Most of the "we buy houses" advertising that reaches Pottstown is a lead broker who will sell your address on and never speak to you again. We are the buyer and we own the title company, so the answer you get is the answer — including "list it" when that is the truth.
This is the far edge of where we buy. Expect a number that reflects the market rather than one designed to get you off the phone, and expect us to say plainly if we are not the right answer.
How selling to us works
Tell us about the house
Two minutes on the form or one phone call. Address, rough condition, and what is going on. You do not need to have anything cleaned up or figured out first.
We check the numbers
We pull the comparable sales, the tax and lien position, and whatever else is on record for the property. Usually same day, always within one business day.
You get a real cash offer
A written, no-obligation number with the math behind it, so you can see how we got there. No fee to hear it and no pressure to take it.
You pick the closing date
Two weeks, two months, or after the holidays. We settle at a title company, you get certified funds, and you leave whatever you do not want behind.

How fast can you close on a house in Pottstown?
Usually the offer comes back the same day or the next business day, and most purchases settle in under 30 days. It can be as quick as about a week. It runs longer when there is something to untangle first — an estate that has not been opened, a large payoff, or a title defect. We tell you which one you are in before you commit to anything.
What gets paid off at settlement on a Pottstown property?
In Pottstown you are dealing with Montgomery County and your township rather than the City of Philadelphia: county and township real estate tax, the school district portion, municipal utility arrears, and anything else recorded against the parcel. These are paid or resolved at settlement out of the proceeds. Our title company works Montgomery County files regularly, so this is familiar ground rather than a special case.
Do I need an inspection or repairs to sell in Pottstown?
Most Montgomery County municipalities do require a use-and-occupancy or resale inspection before a property transfers, and in a normal sale the repair list that comes back is the seller's problem. Selling to us, it is not — we handle it as the buyer. That is one of the main reasons owners in Pottstown call a cash buyer at all.
