Work The Numbers And See Which Way Helps You Get There…
When you really work the numbers you start to see the real benefits that each way of selling your PA house offers.
Some people choose to list their house through a real estate agent because they hope to get a high price from a buyer. But they overlook all the costs, fees, expenses, and time required for that to happen, and they also often forget that a buyer will negotiate for a lower price.
At We Buy Lancaster Houses, we might not offer you the high price that you would list your house for… but there are other benefits you get by selling directly to us, plus you’ll save a ton of money.
For example…
We ARE the buyers
When you want to sell, you’ll probably hear from different types of real estate professionals who want to help:
Some will be real estate agents who want to list your house and try to find a buyer. However, there’s no guarantee that they’ll find a buyer. Some will be “wholesalers” who are really just “middle men”. They don’t have their own money to buy, they’re just finding houses for others — these folks tend to low-ball you, and often don’t even bother trying to see the house before the buy. They’ll often just give you an offer over the phone without seeing the house… and they might not even live in this state or even in this country!
… But WE are the actual buyers and we have the funds available right now to buy your house. We’ll meet you face-to-face and shake your hand and work with you.
There is a huge difference between these types of real estate professionals. If you want to sell quickly, put money in your pocket, and work with a trusted local BUYER then we maybe be the best choice for you. Even better, you can find out for yourself with a no-obligation offer from We Buy Lancaster Houses!
From offer to close and cash in your hand in as little as 7 days
You can get rid of the headache of that property fast and avoid paying any more utility payments, tax payments, insurance payments, mortgage payments, and so on. For example, if you have $1,000/month in bills, and you have to wait 3 months for a buyer to be found, that’s $3,000 out of your pocket you’ll have to pay before the buyer gives you money. What if you could have just sold faster and skipped paying that money?
(There’s nothing wrong with having an agent list your house but their service can be slow and expensive, so it’s not right for everyone.)

We don’t care how dirty your house is (we’ve seen worse!) or how many repairs are needed (a complete fixer? great! we love projects)... we’d like to make an offer on your house right away.

So when you add up the time you could save by working with We Buy Lancaster Houses, the no-hassle experience, and the money you’ll save on bills, commissions, fees, and holding costs while you wait to sell the traditional route… for many area home owners selling to a professional house buyer is the best viable option.

If you can’t come to an agreement with the buyer, the buyer has the right to back out of the sale. Similar, a financing contingency gives the buyer the wiggle room to back out of the purchase if they can’t obtain a loan or if the home doesn’t appraise for the value that the bank needs to close the loan.
Here at We Buy Lancaster Houses we don’t use bank financing so you don’t have to worry about our ability to close on a deal.
