Chester County has 547,840 residents, and 75.1% of occupied homes are owner occupied, so many sellers are leaving a home they've lived in themselves. The median year built is 1983, about when original windows and heating equipment get expensive to keep. With homes worth a median $485,600, it's tempting to renovate before selling. You don't have to spend a dollar on repairs to get our offer.

The kinds of Chester County houses we buy
An older brick twin in Phoenixville can need very different work from a detached house in Exton. In borough homes, you might be dealing with worn porch steps, a damp basement or wiring that hasn't kept up with the way you use the house. A subdivision home might have a leaking roof and bathrooms you meant to update years ago. We look at the actual condition and include the work in our price.
Outside the boroughs, a house near Oxford or Honey Brook may come with more ground than you want to maintain. If your property uses a well or septic system, those repairs can weigh on a sale too. We buy rural houses as well as townhouses and older homes on small lots. Tell us about the outbuildings, anything that doesn't work and what you'd like to leave behind. You don't need to empty the garage before we visit.
The Chester County situations we buy in
An older borough house needs work
Your West Chester or Phoenixville twin might still have aging pipes behind plaster walls. Opening those walls can turn a small repair into a much bigger project. If you don't want to spend your savings preparing the house for a buyer's inspection, we can price the work and buy it as-is.
Winter left you with damage
A frozen pipe or water coming into the basement after snow melts can leave you with damaged floors and a room you can't use. You don't have to dry out and rebuild the entire space before selling. Show us where the trouble started, and we'll look at the house in its current condition.
The rural property is too much
A place outside Kennett Square or Oxford can mean keeping up with a long driveway, extra acreage and an old barn. If you need less space, paying for a septic repair before moving may be more than you want to take on. We can make an offer with that work still unfinished.
Behind on the mortgage
Pennsylvania foreclosure goes through court. Chester County holds its sheriff auctions online, normally on the third Thursday from January through November. If you've received court papers or a sale notice, send us the scheduled date. Selling before the auction pays off the lender at settlement and stops the sale.
Sorting out an inherited home
You may be driving to Downingtown to check an inherited house when you already have a home and job elsewhere. The furniture can stay while we look at it. We can agree on a price and arrange settlement once the estate paperwork is ready for you to sell.
You're finished managing a rental
If your Coatesville rental needs work every time someone moves out, selling may be easier than taking on another renovation. We buy occupied rentals too. Tell us about the lease and the condition, and we'll work out the details with you without asking you to get the house vacant first.
How selling for cash works in Chester County
Start with a call or the form and give us your Chester County address. We review the house and send you a cash offer within 24 hours. If you accept, a title company handles settlement, including the title search and mortgage payoff. You choose the date. We can close in 30 days or less, or give you more time to move. There are no closing costs for you.
For a mortgage foreclosure, Pennsylvania uses a judicial process, which means the lender brings the case to court and gets a judgment before the sheriff sale. Chester County's regular sales begin at 11 a.m. online through Bid4Assets on the third Thursday of the month, January through November. The sheriff's website lists sale information and updates to scheduled auctions.
Before the first sale date, the sheriff has to post notice at your house and send you written notice at least 30 days ahead. Read the date on your notice and contact us early so we can work toward settlement before it arrives. When we buy before the sale date, the title company pays off the lender at settlement and the lender directs the sheriff to stop the sale. You receive the remaining proceeds and can move on.
How it works
Three steps to a cash sale.
Tell us about the house
Fill out the short form or give us a call. Share the address, the condition and what's going on. That's all we need to get started.
Get your cash offer
We review the house and send you a fair cash offer within 24 hours. You'll see how we got to the number, and you're under no obligation to take it.
Close on your date
You pick the closing date. We can close in 30 days or less, or later if you need more time. A title company handles the paperwork and you walk away with cash.
Run the numbers on a Chester County sale
Our cash offer will come in under what your house would list for. Anyone who tells you otherwise is setting up a renegotiation after you have already committed.
What counts is what you walk away with. The median home in Chester County is worth about $485,600. List a house like that and a six percent commission is $29,136 before you pay for a single repair. Add whatever the buyer's inspection asks you to fix, plus months of mortgage, taxes, insurance and utilities while it sits. Then put our number next to that.
Sometimes listing still comes out ahead, and when it does, you should list. We'd rather tell you that than buy a house you end up wishing you had kept on the market.

What sellers say about working with Mal
"Malachi saved us from losing everything. We closed in 9 days and walked away with cash in hand. He was honest the whole way through — no pressure, no games."
"I was three months behind and didn't know what to do. Memorable Home Buyers explained everything clearly and made a fair offer the same day I called. Highly recommend."
"Malachi was a pleasure to work with. We inherited a home that we could not pay the repairs on. He gave us a fair price, and closed exactly when he said he would. Was a quick, easy and very convenient process."
"I had only 8 days left to stop my foreclosure. Malachi came in and showed me what options I had left, and once we agreed on me selling he purchased the home and was able to prevent that stuff on my record. I appreciate him for helping us."
"Me and my husband had a property we just didn't want to deal with anymore. It had leaks in the roof, needed a new water heater and a bunch of other stuff we didn't have the energy to fix anymore. Mal gave us a fair cash offer and made our downsizing process simple"
Our promise to you
What you can hold us to when you sell
You deal with Mal from the first call to closing day. These are the four things we promise on every house.
The number holds
The offer we agree on is the number on your settlement statement, as long as the house matches what you told us on the phone. If the walkthrough turns up something big that never came up, we show you exactly what changed before anything moves forward.
A contract you can read
Our purchase agreement is written in plain English. Take it home, show it to family, and ask us about any line before you sign.
You pick the date
Tell us the closing date you need on the first call. If we can't make it, we'll say so right then, before you've committed to anything.
The truth, even if we lose the deal
If your house would sell for more with an agent, we'll tell you. Some people don't need a cash buyer, and we'd rather you hear that from us.
