We’ve Got Answers!

We love to answer questions, especially since it makes our clients more comfortable with the process.

Believe it or not, we hear this question a lot! We have perfected a business model that allows us to purchase homes for cash, as-is, and with a contract that will ensure both buyer and seller are protected from default. We invite you to review the testimonials of our past clients to see for yourself. We are committed to excellence in every aspect of our process and we look forward to working with you!
Absolutely not! We purchase homes in ANY condition, from poor to excellent. About 10% of the homes we buy would be categorized as excellent and/or market ready condition. We can provide a seller with a guaranteed sale immediately, keeping them from what can sometimes be a very long wait selling on the market AND the hurdles that can be involved in a retail transaction!
We use the current market value to determine a cash offer. The formula we use is very simple and it helps us ensure we are paying you the MAXIMUM Amount Possible! Our first step is to determine the market value (ARV) of your home by running a Comparative Market Analysis. We then subtract our costs to purchase the home, the costs of the needed renovations (if any), and the potential return on investment. Our cash offer is guaranteed to be the highest possible amount while considering the costs we accrue.
We can settle and have cash in your hand in as little as 7 days. We ALWAYS settle on your time frame whether it’s as soon as possible, or even if you need a few months to prepare for a move.
The only costs for a seller would be a 1% transfer tax and a deed preparation fee (usually around $150). The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania requires a 2% transfer tax to be paid on the sale of any property. Honest Home Solutions covers the remaining 1% to match the seller as well as ALL other costs necessary to buy and sell the home! There are NO Hidden fees to a seller! This simply means that a seller will walk away with a check in the amount that was agreed upon for the sale of the home!
We will buy property almost anywhere BUT we have a primary focus in south central Pennsylvania. We have a presence in Dauphin, Cumberland, York, Lancaster, Adams, Lebanon, Centre, and Franklin Counties. If you have a property somewhere other than these counties, please give us a call! We love working with sellers to find the perfect solution for the sale of their home, no matter the location.

Testimonials

What our customers say about working with us:

“Working with Nick & Erik was very easy. After retiring recently, I decided I wanted a change and Nick and Erik were able to list my property on the market and handle everything from showing the home to negotiating with Buyers. They sold my home for $5,000 over what I was asking! You couldn’t ask for more intelligent and upstanding guys to work with when choosing to sell your property.”

Doris N.

“After 15 years of marriage, my husband and I decided to separate. On top of all the other difficulties of a separation, having to worry about what to do with our house was one of our top concerns. We made the decision to call local real estate companies who could help us quickly. Erik was the most honest and trusting of all the companies we met with. My ex-husband and I were able to agree on Erik’s price and leave the property behind amicably with money in both of our pockets. Erik was professional and dealt with us compassionately as we were going through this stressful time.”

Deborah B.

“I had the pleasure of working with Scott during the process of selling my property in York county. Scott was not only professional, but courteous, informative and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Scott for future business and wish him and all his clients successful transactions in the future.”TravisT

“I thought land lording was going to be easy, boy was I wrong! I’m so relieved to have found Honest Home Solution’s to take this property off my hands and deal with the problem tenant’s. I was losing money and couldn’t find anyone willing to take on the issues at hand. Erik and his team moved quickly and efficiently to get me to the finish line in record time. Thank you, Erik!”

Angela G.

“Working with Erik, Scott, and Kelsey was a great choice for me and my wife. We are getting older and couldn’t keep up with our 2 acre property. We got Erik’s postcard in the mail and spoke with Scott to set up an appointment for Erik to view our property. Erik stuck to his word and got us the money we were promised and settled on time. I would recommend Erik and his team to anyone looking for an honest, no BS company.”

Charlie C.

“My experience working with Erik and Honest Home Solutions was easy and stress free. I inherited my mother’s property after her passing and didn’t know how I was going to keep up with it or sell it while living in another state. We found Erik and his team online and they were able to settle on my mother’s property in a few short weeks, we didn’t even have to travel to attend the settlement. Erik went the extra mile for me to make sure there was as little inconvenience as possible during this difficult time.”

Brenda D.

“Working with the Honest Home Solution’s team was a great experience for me and my husband. We owned a property that needed extensive repairs and we weren’t ready to take on the project ourselves. Erik came out and evaluated the costs to renovate the home and made us a very fair cash offer on the spot. We couldn’t be happier to have this weight lifted off our shoulders. Erik and his team were professional and communicated with us during the whole process.”

Barbara L.

“I was facing foreclosure and didn’t know what to do. Erik and his team quickly found a solution for me and helped me with a short sale. They were even able to get my wife and I relocation assistance to help us move into our new place. Honest Home Solutions can truly help anyone on a tight timeline and Erik always sticks to his word, even when the situation is tough. I am tremendously thankful for the help Erik and his team were able to provide me.”

William J.

“Erik was honest and forthright throughout the whole process. He made the transaction very easy and explained everything the very first time we met. He removed all the stress and the headaches from the whole transaction!”

Bill F.

“It was a pleasure working with Erik and the Honest Home Solution’s team. I had to unexpectedly relocate to another state for work and even though my home was in great condition, I had to sell quickly. Erik was able to provide me with the highest and fairest offer in town. I would highly recommend Honest Home Solution’s to anyone who is looking to sell their property.”

George C.

“My experience working with Kelsey was positive and informative. She is a very good and thorough communicator, always very responsive and kept me informed with what was progressing with the transaction. I would recommend her to anyone that wants to keep involved and would have any questions during the transaction process.”
