Where we buy houses
Our office is at 36 N 3rd St, Philadelphia, PA 19106 in Old City, our crews rebuild these houses for a living, and our title company clears the liens the city generates. Below is what selling actually looks like in each market we know best.
This is not a boundary. It is where we can price most confidently and move fastest. We buy outside the city, outside these counties and outside Pennsylvania. If your property is somewhere else, ask — we will either make you an offer or tell you straight that someone closer would serve you better.
Kensington
Dense pre-war rowhomes, heavy investor traffic, and blocks that change character in fifty feet.

Tidy, tightly held rowhomes, long-tenured owners, and a lot of houses moving between generations.

Elmwood and Kingsessing rowhomes, water in the basements, and a lot of tired small-landlord stock.

Dense twins and rows just over City Line — a different township, different rules, same houses.

Low values, high vacancy, deep tax arrears — and a market most buyers will not quote at all.

Tight rowhome blocks where parking, trinities and a gentrifying edge make the price swing enormously.

The single busiest market in our closed files — dense rows, real vacancy, and deep tax arrears.

Small Delco boroughs right over the city line — city housing, borough rules, lower numbers.

Montgomery County's densest older stock — rows and twins, deep arrears, and a borough that inspects.
See how we buy in Norristown →Pottstown
Old borough stock at the far end of the county — low values, real vacancy, and very few cash buyers who will quote it.

Because they are not the same market. A stone twin in Germantown, a post-war row with a driveway in the Northeast and a tenant-occupied house in Southwest Philadelphia have almost nothing in common except a city line. What stops the sale is different in each, and so is the right advice.
In some of these markets we will tell you to list instead — Mayfair is the clearest example. A cash offer is below retail because it buys you speed, certainty, and someone taking on the condition of the house. Where none of those is your problem, you are paying for something you do not need, and we would rather say so.
