HomeBuyers of Pittsburgh: Local company revitalizing Pittsburgh neighborhoods
A local elderly homeowner, Marian, who recently lost her husband, was looking to sell her longtime home in Penn Hills. For many elderly people who have lost their significant others, taking care of one’s home alone can become daunting and overwhelming.
The home was too big for Marian to maintain by herself. It needed several major updates and improvements, including a new driveway and roof. In addition, she owed over $6,000 in back taxes.
Fortunately, Marian had the support of her daughter, Cheryl, to help her relocate out of state to live with her.
With a very limited time frame to sell Marian’s home — and wanting to work with a company that would be honest and fair — Cheryl reached out to the HomeBuyers of Pittsburgh team for support.
Ryan Scialabba is owner of HomeBuyers and a licensed real estate agent. “The nice thing about working with us,” he says, “is that we make the process of selling a home easy to understand and give people options that they didn’t know they had.
“We have a simple three-step process that includes a 5-to-10-minute phone call, a 30-minute property tour to assess updates and repairs, and then we give our cash offer – usually on the spot.”
The HomeBuyers team was able to help Marian and her daughter, accommodating their schedule by closing within 17 days.
“We sold our mom’s home to HomeBuyers of Pittsburgh and it was truly a great experience! Ryan was very nice, honest, professional and gave us a very fair price. We worked with Danielle throughout the whole process and she truly made this experience smooth and stress-free. Exceptional communication every step of the way. Simply put, she was TERRIFIC to work with! I highly recommend this company and am so happy we sold to them.” — Cheryl
While the HomeBuyers team began renovating Marian’s property, a nearby neighbor, Anthony, noticed the improvements happening on his street. He spoke directly to the team about selling his property, which had been vacant for five years, as he was without the time to fix and sell it.
Unable to sell the home due to its condition, he found that working with HomeBuyers was an ideal solution. Anthony wanted out from under his mortgage, and the HomeBuyers team was able to help him through the selling process, from start to end.
As a result of both home purchases, the value of nearby homes within a quarter-mile radius in the Penn Hills neighborhood increased by $25,000 to $30,000.
HomeBuyers also vets tenants in their rental properties, resulting in friendly residents that are a part of the community. “Our company’s goal is to help revitalize the Pittsburgh neighborhoods we’ve been a part of all our lives, while helping people achieve their goals through real estate,” says Scialabba.
“Today, we are proud to have solidified ourselves as a ‘company to stay’ in the Pittsburgh housing market. With our ability to directly purchase homes and make cash offers, we simply provide easy and hassle-free home transactions. And because of our extensive construction background, we are able to bring homes back to life with tasteful design and high-quality finishes.”
