Local home-buying company goes above and beyond for tired landlord
Becoming a landlord can end up being more tiresome and stressful than it is worth, particularly when tenants do not pay their rent on time or respect your property. For many people it can be a challenge to sell a home in disrepair or with someone else occupying it.
A McKeesport homeowner, Susan, was in this exact situation, experiencing trouble collecting rents from her tenants. Once she was able to remove the tenants, she knew it was no longer worth it to try to rent out the property again. The time had come to try to sell it.
Due to an injury, Susan sought her husband’s help in starting the process, asking him to reach out to cash home-buying companies. After multiple appointments, they found a private buyer who promised a significantly higher cash offer than anybody else. They believed it was “too good to be true,” but went with it anyway. Shortly after, the agreement fell through.
After going with another local company and it not working out, Susan had remembered working with a locally owned, trusted company that has been in business since 2015 — HomeBuyers of Pittsburgh — on the sale of another property. She reached out to them for help.
The HomeBuyers of Pittsburgh has bought/sold over 800 homes since inception. They offer a complimentary in-person home consultation, during which their team can identify any repairs or updates that need to be made to maximize the value of the home.
Since Susan had such a positive experience working with them in the past, she knew she could count on them to close on her property in the time she needed while also providing a fair cash offer.
Ryan Lauer, a Home Evaluation Specialist for HomeBuyers of Pittsburgh, often tells sellers, “One thing to watch out for is the company that offers a way higher price than anybody else. In a cash-buying situation, the highest offer doesn’t mean it is the best. Given the lack of rules and state regulations, many cash-buying companies will promise a much higher price and then will place hidden language in their contracts that allows the company to renegotiate price or simply back out right before closing, without any repercussions.”
The HomeBuyers of Pittsburgh team recommends working with local companies that have a track record of being honest with their clients.
“It’s smart to always check out Google Reviews before making a call,” says Mr. Lauer.
Susan shared her experience in a recent Google review that the HomeBuyers of Pittsburgh “team was very easy to deal with and handled everything.”
HomeBuyers of Pittsburgh has been rated the #1 Professional Homebuyer in Pittsburgh multiple years in a row. Their team takes pride in the commitment to each individual seller in making life transitions and complex situations easy for the home seller and making the home-selling process as simple and hassle-free as possible.
