What Philadelphia Homeowners Say About Selling To Us
Real Sellers From Across Philadelphia
My experience was great, the time it took to complete the transaction was much faster than expected. The interactions were professional and courteous.

My aunt needed money for medical expenses and the house was an absolute wreck! They came along, and the house was sold. Got the money I needed. Every time I think about it I want to hug you!

Hi, I'm Jake. Nice to meet you.
I buy houses directly from Philadelphia homeowners. When you call, you talk directly with me—not a call center, a junior rep, or a middleman wholesaling contracts.

We Buy Houses In Philadelphia
Selling your Philadelphia house for cash takes just 3 steps. See how our house buying process works.
If you need to sell a house in Philadelphia and you do not want to fix it up, list it, or wait months for a buyer whose loan might fall through, you are in the right place.
Independence Home Buyers buys houses directly from homeowners for cash, in any condition and in any situation. Inherited houses and probate, foreclosure and sheriff sale dates, tenants who will not pay, repairs you cannot afford, a divorce, a move, or a house that has simply become too much. We have seen it, and we have bought it.
Because we buy the house ourselves, there are no agents, no commissions, no showings and no repairs. You do not even have to clean. We walk through the house with you, show you exactly how we calculated our number, and give you a written, no-obligation cash offer. If you accept, a Philadelphia title company handles the paperwork and you choose the closing date: as fast as about two weeks, or later if you need time to move.
And if listing with an agent would get you more money for your situation, we will tell you. Want the details first? See how our house buying process works.

Listing takes months.
Selling to us takes about 2 weeks.
A typical listing means getting the house ready, weeks of showings while it sits on the market, then waiting on the buyer’s loan to close. Selling for cash skips all of it.
About 4 months, start to closing
- Getting it ready30 days
- On the market55 days
- Buyer’s loan to closing35 days
* A listing usually brings a higher sales price. However, commissions, repairs, closing costs and months of payments all come out of it.
Close on the date you choose
- No showings or open houses
- No repairs or cleaning
- No waiting on a buyer’s loan
* A cash offer is usually below full retail price. However, nothing comes out of your pocket: no commissions, no repairs, no waiting and no uncertainty.

Before you decide
The Honest Pros And Cons Of A Cash Offer
Most “we buy houses” websites only list the benefits of a cash offer. But a cash offer has real downsides too, and it is not the right move for every Philadelphia homeowner. It trades part of the top-dollar price for speed, certainty and a sale with no repairs, no showings and no commissions. Read both sides before you decide, and especially the right one. If listing your house would leave you with more money, we will tell you.
What you gain
- Close in about two weeks, or on your date
No waiting for a buyer, a loan approval or an appraisal. You pick the day; we work to it.
- Sell as-is: no repairs, no cleaning
Leave the leaky roof, the old kitchen and whatever you do not want to move. We price the repairs in, so you never pay for them.
- No commissions, and we pay the normal closing costs
On a $350,000 house a typical 5-6% commission is $17,500 to $21,000 you keep in your pocket instead.
- No loan that can fall through
We pay cash, so there is no mortgage denial or low appraisal to kill the deal in week five.
- No showings, no open houses
Nobody walks through your home on weekends, and you keep your privacy until the day you close.
What you give up
- The price is below full market value
You trade part of the top-dollar price for speed, certainty and no repairs. We show you the math behind the number.
- If you have time and an updated house, listing usually nets more
With months to spare and a house that shows well, the open market often pays more, even after commission. We will tell you if that is you.
- You have to check the buyer
Not every cash buyer is real. Ask for proof of funds, a Philadelphia attorney closing and reviews you can verify.
A cash offer usually fits if…
the house needs work, you face a deadline like a Law Day, probate or a move, you inherited it, there are tenants, or you simply want it done without months of showings.
Listing usually fits if…
the house is updated and shows well, you have three months or more, and you are comfortable with showings, inspections and a buyer's loan approval.
Is a cash sale right for you, or should you list?
Seven quick questions. There is no wrong answer, and we will tell you honestly if listing would leave you more.
- 1Does the house need repairs you would rather not pay for or manage?
- 2Do you need to close by a certain date, or within the next month or two?
- 3Would showings be hard: tenants, belongings, privacy, or you live out of state?
- 4Is there a complication: an estate or probate, a divorce, foreclosure, liens or back taxes?
- 5Could you comfortably cover the mortgage, taxes and utilities for three or more months?
- 6Is getting the highest possible price more important to you than speed and certainty?
- 7Would a buyer's bank lend on the house as it is (no major roof, foundation, oil tank or code issues)?
