We buy houses in Delaware County, PA

Tell us the address and what you're dealing with. We'll give you a cash offer within 24 hours. You don't have to arrange showings around work, empty the basement or replace the kitchen before we look at it. If you want to sell your house fast, we can close in 30 days or less. If your next place isn't ready, we can use the date you choose.

Delaware County has 579,222 residents, and about 70% of homes are lived in by their owners. The median home was built in 1957, so plumbing, heating and roof work tends to pile up. We look at your house as it stands and make the offer from there.

The kinds of Delco houses we buy
Delco housing changes from block to block. There are brick rowhouses in Chester and Darby, twins in Upper Darby and Drexel Hill, and detached homes with porches in Lansdowne. Springfield and Aston also have ranches and split-level houses. An older twin might have a narrow kitchen, radiators and a basement full of storage. A detached house might have more yard than you want to maintain. None of that means you need to remodel before selling.
We can look at a house with peeling paint, worn steps, old wiring or rooms that haven't changed since your parents lived there. We also buy homes that are in good shape when the owner simply needs a direct sale. Tell us about the roof, the heating system and any water you've seen downstairs. We account for the work in our price, so you can leave the repairs to us and move on without paying for them first.
The Delco situations we buy in
An older twin that needs work
Your Drexel Hill twin may need roof work and new windows at the same time. Getting it ready for buyers can turn into a bigger project once someone opens a wall or checks the wiring. We buy older twins as they stand. You can tell us what needs attention without hiring crews or covering the cost yourself.
Water in the basement
Rain can leave an older Delco basement damp, and winter can expose a leaking pipe or trouble with the heat. If you have stained walls, a sump pump that struggles or boxes you can't keep dry, show us what you're seeing. We can make an offer with the water problem included instead of asking you to finish a basement project.
Your family's house in Lansdowne
An inherited house can mean furniture on every floor and years of belongings tucked under the stairs. You may live too far away to keep visiting for cleanouts. We can look at the property while those things are still there. You take what you want, and we arrange settlement once the estate paperwork is ready for the sale.
Mortgage payments you can't catch up on
Foreclosure in Pennsylvania goes through the courts. In Delaware County, the sheriff's sale is held on the third Friday of the month. If you have court papers or a sale notice, send us the date with your address. Selling before the sale pays off your lender at settlement and stops it. The earlier you call, the more room we have.
A rental you're ready to sell
A rental in Chester or Upper Darby can take more of your time than you have available. Maybe the rent no longer covers repairs, or you're tired of handling calls from another town. We buy rental houses with tenants still living there. Tell us about the lease and the condition, and we'll work through a plan with you.
Leaving Aston on your own schedule
If you're moving closer to family or trading a house with stairs for something smaller, coordinating two moves can be difficult. You can choose a settlement date that fits your next home. There's no need to keep the house spotless for weekend showings while you're packing. We buy it with the unfinished jobs still on your list.
How selling for cash works in Delco
Start with a call or the form and give us your Delaware County address. We look at the property and send you a cash offer within 24 hours. When you accept, a title company handles settlement, including checking the title and arranging the mortgage payoff. You choose the date. There are no commissions and no closing costs, and you can leave the house as-is.
Foreclosure here goes through court. The lender's attorney files a case, wins a judgment, and then the sheriff sells the house at auction. Delaware County sheriff's sales are held on the third Friday of each month at 11 a.m. in the County Council Meeting Room on the first floor of the Government Center at the courthouse in Media. If that Friday is a holiday, the sale moves to Thursday.
The sheriff has to post notice at the house and at the sheriff's office at least 30 days before the sale, and everyone with an interest gets written notice in that window too. If a sale date is on your paperwork, tell us right away. We set settlement before that date and the lender is paid off from the sale. The lender then tells the sheriff to stop the sale.
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 Delco 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 Delco is worth about $332,200. List a house like that and a six percent commission is $19,932 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.
