Selling a South Hills home you have owned for years

The South Hills is full of brick colonials, split-levels, and ranch homes built in the decades after World War II. Many are still owned by the families who bought them new, or by their children. That usually means solid houses with dated kitchens, older mechanicals, and a long list of updates buyers expect before they will pay full price.

If you are downsizing, settling a parent's estate, or just ready to move on, you should not have to renovate first. Fast Close Pittsburgh buys South Hills houses as-is with cash, so you skip the repairs, the showings, and the months on the market.

We are local to Pittsburgh and buy throughout the city of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County, including every South Hills community.

How we help South Hills homeowners

Downsizing or moving to senior living

Selling the family home is a big step. We work at your pace, and you can take what you want and leave the rest behind.

Selling a parent's house

Whether the house is in probate or a family member holds power of attorney, we work with your attorney and title company. Read about selling an inherited house.

Dated homes that need updating

Original kitchens, old wiring, a tired roof, or a wet basement. We buy the house as it stands and handle the updates ourselves.

Rental properties in Dormont, Brentwood, and beyond

Done being a landlord? We buy rentals and 2 to 4 unit buildings with tenants in place.

Behind on payments

If the mortgage has fallen behind, a quick cash sale can pay off the loan and help you avoid foreclosure.

Job relocation

Moving for work on a deadline? We close on your schedule so you are not paying two housing costs.

Selling a parent's South Hills home: what to know

Many of the South Hills calls we get are from adult children handling a parent's house. The right path depends on whether your parent is living or has passed away.

  • If your parent is living and has moved to assisted living or in with family, the person named in a valid power of attorney may be able to sell the house, if the document gives them that authority. The title company will review it before closing.
  • If your parent has passed away, probate is filed with the Allegheny County Register of Wills in the City-County Building, 414 Grant Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15219. The executor receives a short certificate that allows the estate to sell.
  • Pennsylvania inheritance tax is 0% for a surviving spouse, 4.5% for children and other direct descendants, 12% for siblings, and 15% for most other heirs. The return (Form REV-1500) is due within 9 months of the date of death, with a 5% discount if the tax is paid within 3 months.

A cash sale can close around the family's timeline and saves the estate from paying utilities, insurance, and upkeep on an empty house while it sits on the market.

This is general information, not legal or tax advice. Talk with a Pennsylvania attorney about your specific situation.

South Hills home selling questions

How fast can you buy my house in the South Hills?

We send a written cash offer within 24 hours of seeing the house. Most closings take 7 to 14 days, and you can choose a later date if you need more time to move.

Do you pay fair prices for South Hills homes?

Our offer is based on the home's location, its current condition, and recent sales of similar houses nearby. We walk you through how we reached the number, and there is no obligation to accept.

Can I sell my parent's house if they moved to assisted living?

Often, yes. If your parent signed a power of attorney that allows real estate sales, the agent named in it may be able to sell. The title company reviews the document before closing.

No. We buy South Hills homes as-is, including dated kitchens, older roofs, and basement water issues.
