Sell your in-probate Philadelphia house for cash — we buy direct
Houses tied up in probate can still be sold for cash, but the process has more moving parts than a typical sale. We handle probate purchases regularly and are familiar with court confirmations, executor authority, and the state-specific quirks that delay open-market listings.
Lockwood Home Buyers makes cash offers directly to homeowners — no fees, no commissions, and no obligation to accept. We are not a real-estate agent or broker; we buy houses for cash.
How a Pennsylvania closing works
Pennsylvania closings run through title companies; cash closings in two to three weeks are routine.
Pennsylvania’s realty transfer tax is 1% to the state plus a local share — about 2% combined in most municipalities, and higher in Philadelphia, which has one of the highest combined rates in the country. It is commonly split buyer/seller but is negotiable.
