Frequently Asked Questions

Looking to sell your Pittsburgh, PA home? We complied a list of our most popular questions about selling to a "we buy houses" company below. If your question isn't answered, please call us at (412) 545-6333 or fill in the contact form below.

  • Who Are You & What Do You Do?

    I'm James LaRosa, 100% owner of We Buy Houses in Pittsburgh LLC, a legitimate local home buying company in PA. We pay cash for houses in Pittsburgh, in any condition, location, etc. Not only can we get you cash for your house, but we also offer more benefits to homeowners, such as assisting with the move-out, letting you set your own move-out date, and more!

  • Is a “We Buy Houses” Company a Good Fit For Me?

    As much as it may be surprising, most of our sellers were not desperate to sell (at all), nor did they want to avoid foreclosure. They chose us because either bad experiences listing their house with an agent or just wanted the hassle-free option of moving without dealing with the agent process.


    Because We Buy Houses in West Virginia buys any property, no matter the condition or situation, we are often the best option to sell your home fast and with ease.


    Let us run the numbers and see how much we could offer you for your house. If you don't accept, no problem. Our entire service from start to finish is 100% free.

  • Why Should I Choose Your Company?

    The truth is, you don't have to choose us! There are plenty of other cash home buying companies in West Virginia that could buy your house. Just Google "We Buy Houses" or "Sell My House Fast," and there will be a bunch of them show up. But before you go ahead with one company, make sure to do research about their background first since not all companies are the same. Time and time again our customers tell us they chose We Buy Houses in West Virginia because we were the most trustworthy and offered the fairest price.


    We are not desperate.  We do not need to make a huge profit on each deal, and we do not expect to buy every house that we come across. While WHAT we do is similar to other home buying companies (we offer cash for houses in WV), HOW and WHY we do business is different- because at the end of the day, our goal isn't just about making money or taking advantage of people; it's about providing you with as much peace of mind during this uncertain time by being sincere, honest professionals who care about your situation and see how valuable offering cash for homes really can be!


    My suggestion to you is to check out the "About Us" page and the "How It Works" page to get an understanding of who we are and how our house buying process works.

  • How Are You Different From A Realtor?

    A typical Real Estate Agent (Realtor) does not actually purchase your house. Agents advertise your property on the Multiple Listing Service, hoping to find an interested buyer. A listing in West Virginia with a real estate agent means you will have to pay for closing costs and title transfer taxes as well as endure multiple showings and inspections of your property before finding a qualified buyer who is ready to commit!


    We Buy Houses in West Virginia is a legitimate home buying company in WV, with the cash, experience, and connections to get deals done fast. If the property isn't right for us, we have a large network of other trusted cash buyers we can refer you to.


    We skip the whole "agent" process and jump immediately to an offer and closing on your property. We cover all the costs you would normally have to pay when selling through a real estate agent, including any commission fees or other charges. The most notable difference is that we don't charge anything at all for our services - no commissions, listing prices, reservations of exclusive rights, etc. 

  • Should I List With A Realtor Instead?

    Choosing to sell with a realtor or directly to a company like We Buy Houses in West Virginia all depends on what you are looking to accomplish. If you are looking to get absolute top market value for your home and don't mind waiting months to sell it, a realtor would make more sense for you. However, if you are looking for speed, certainty, and convenience, then we are the company you are looking for.


    If your house needs work and it can't qualify for regular financing, even if you hired a Realtor, they are still going to have to look for a cash buyer. So in addition to selling for a discount to a cash buyer, you would also need to pay the brokers commissions, fees & closing costs. In these cases, we don’t think that listing through an agent is always the best play since there might be plenty of people who want cheaper properties without any hassle or extra cost

  • Are There Any Obligations After I Fill Out The Web-Form?

    No, never! We’re here to offer you a chance at relief. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by filling out the form on our site, which is both quick and easy! We will not only make sure that there are no costs or risks for you.

  • How Does Your Home-Buying Process Work?

    Step 1 - Discovery


    Give us a call or fill out one of our secure forms on our website. I (James!) will give you a call back ASAP, usually within 5-10 minutes. We will go over your needs and answer any questions you might have.


    Step 2 - Our Offer


    If you decide that we could be of service to you, then our next step is to have a purchasing conversation. We can either come in person to assess the property or do it virtually through the phone. We will complete a market analysis of your home and give you our fairest offer, the first time.


    If you decide that the offer is fair and want to move forward with it, we will email you a short agreement that outlines your offer. This agreement can be signed in person or electronically. You can even have an attorney review it! 


    Step 3 - Review


    We will follow through on any and all agreements made. This may or may not include repairs done by us, cash advances, etc.


    Throughout this process, we will make sure that your title is clean, mortgages are satisfied, taxes are paid, and more, so we can have a smooth selling process.


    Step 4 - The Closing!


    The easiest and best part. We would already have gotten your preferred choice of closing - whether it is at your house, virtually, or at an attorney's office, along with your choice of payment (check or wire transfer).

  • How Do I Get The Cash For My House?

    1.) Closing At The Title Company - Typically, you go to the title companies place of business to sign your closing documents and pick up your certified cashier's cheque or wire transfer to your bank.


    2.) Mobile Closing - Typically, you will receive your funds within 1-2 days after signing the closing documents.

  • Do I Need To Clean Before I Move Out?

    Worried about what to do with the house now that you’ve moved? Don't worry! Take what you want and let us deal with the rest. We've purchased houses full of cat poop, dead mice, rotten food in a fridge, cockroaches on walls - we don't judge so why not make things easier on yourself by taking only your most treasured possessions home & letting our team handle all those other details for you.

  • Will You Kick Me Out Of My Home If I’m Not Out At Closing?

    Of course not! If you’re not out of your house prior to closing, we'll typically arrange an escrow hold back where we hold funds in an escrow account and work out a post-occupancy agreement so that you have the opportunity for 1-3 weeks after moving into our new home.

  • Are There Any Fees Or Commissions When Selling To You?

    There are NEVER any fees when working with us. We don't charge you a cent for our services. Since we are direct cash home buyers, there's no need to pay a real estate agent commissions or fees. We also cover all of your closing costs.

  • My Home Needs A Lot Of Work. Will You Still Buy It?

    We Buy Houses in West Virginia, no matter their condition. Our company will buy ANY type of property! So yes we would love a chance at buying any property in terrible shape because you may be surprised how much money you will get from us for yours.

  • Do You Pay Market Value For Houses? How Much Can You Offer Me?

    We know that you deserve a fair price for your house, and we are pleased to offer it. However, there is an important distinction between “fair” prices and market value—market value takes into account the cost of any work or repairs needed in order to make the place sellable. So if this property really needs some TLC then our buyers will understand what they can expect from us when considering how much their new home will need after settling down!
