Do I have to pay closing costs, commissions, or hidden fees?
No. When you sell to iBuy Philadelphia Homes, you pay zero closing costs, no agent commissions, and no hidden fees.
We cover everything that’s included in a Philadelphia real estate transaction including title, transfer tax, recording fees, and legal paperwork. The amount we offer is exactly what you take home.

| Cash in 24 hours | Wait for buyer offers |
| Close in 10 days | Often 60+ days |

Do you inspect the property?
We don’t perform a traditional home inspection or include the usual inspection contingencies that come with selling to a typical buyer. There are no third-party inspectors, no checklists, and no repairs required.
Instead, we’ll personally walk through the property during a quick on-site visit to assess the overall condition and estimate our renovation costs.
No matter what we find, you won’t be asked to fix anything. We buy houses as-is in Philly, and any repairs or cleanup are our responsibility after we close.
What do you mean by Cash?
“Cash” means we use our own funds to purchase your property directly — no banks, no loans, no waiting for mortgage approvals.
That’s why we can make same day offers and close in 10 days. You won’t have to deal with financing contingencies, underwriting delays, or appraisal issues that can stop the transaction. When we say cash, we mean our funds.
What do you mean by "As-Is"
“As-is” means you can sell your property exactly the way it is right now.
No repairs, cleaning, updates, junk removal or hauling. We’ll take care of whatever the current state your property is in after closing.
Can I sell my house if I inherited it or it’s in probate?
Yes, we regularly help homeowners in Philadelphia sell inherited homes, estate properties, and houses going through probate.
Even if the title hasn’t transferred or you’re working with an attorney, we can walk you through the process and buy your inherited home fast.
What if my Philly house is in bad condition, vacant, or has code violations?
We buy Philly houses in any condition. It doesn’t matter if the property has been vacant for years, has extensive damage, or open violations from L&I.
We specialize in directly buying distressed homes. You don’t need to clean or fix anything.
Can I sell my house if it still has tenants?
Yes, we buy homes with tenants in place.
No matter if the tenants are paying, behind on rent, or in eviction proceedings, we can still buy the property. We purchase occupied rentals, multifamily homes, duplexes, and apartment buildings throughout Philadelphia. You don’t need to evict or deal with the hassle. We take care of everything post-close.
