If your property needs repairs, updates, or you simply don’t want to deal with agents and open houses, you’re not alone. Many Philadelphia homeowners are looking for a faster, simpler solution — especially if they’re dealing with:
- Inherited or estate properties
- Code violations or structural issues
- Bad tenants or vacant homes
- Pre-foreclosure or financial stress
- Divorce or job relocation
At CFR Philly, we specialize in buying houses as-is — meaning you don’t have to fix a thing, clean out the house, or pay any commissions.
What Does “Selling As-Is” Actually Mean?
Selling a house “as-is” means you’re selling the property in its current condition — no repairs, no improvements, no warranties. The buyer accepts the home with all its existing issues, and you’re off the hook for making it market-ready.
Here’s what that looks like in Philly:
- You don’t need to repaint or update kitchens/bathrooms
- You can leave behind unwanted belongings or trash
- You avoid inspections that could trigger costly repairs
- You skip showings, staging, and cleaning altogether

Do You Have to Accept a Lowball Offer?
Not necessarily. While some traditional buyers might expect a discount for a fixer-upper, a professional cash buyer like CFR Philly evaluates your home based on the numbers — not emotional appeal.
We look at:
- Comparable sales in your area (ARV)
- Renovation costs
- Our holding and resale costs
We then make you a fair, no-obligation cash offer that works for both sides. No pressure, no fees.
Avoid Commissions, Fees & Hidden Costs
When you list your home with a real estate agent in Philly, here’s what you typically pay:
- 6% in realtor commissions
- Seller closing costs (often 1–2%)
- Repairs to pass inspections
- Time on market (30–90+ days)
When you sell to CFR Philly:
- You pay $0 in commissions
- We cover all closing costs
- We buy as-is — no repairs
- You pick your closing date
How Fast Can You Sell?
Most of our sellers close in as little as 7–14 days, depending on your title situation. If you need more time, we can work around your schedule — even allowing post-closing possession if you need to stay in the house a few days after settlement.
Who This Works Best For in Philadelphia
Selling your home as-is might be right for you if:
- You inherited a home and want to avoid cleanouts
- Your home has structural, plumbing, or roof issues
- You’re in pre-foreclosure and need to avoid auction
- You don’t want strangers walking through your home
- You just want a fast, simple exit without red tape
