HomeBuyers of Pittsburgh helps home seller make a smooth transition to Costa Rica
Selling a home through a real estate agency can take months and, often, the seller ends up paying thousands of dollars in repairs and commissions before the process is complete. Ryan Scialabba strives to offer a faster and easier solution with his company, HomeBuyers of Pittsburgh, which he started five and a half years ago with his business partner, Aaron Archibald.
Since its inception, the company has bought and sold more than 600 homes in the Pittsburgh area including recent properties in the Carnegie, Baldwin/Whitehall, Dormont, Fox Chapel, and Penn Hills neighborhoods.
Mr. Scialabba said, “The nice thing about working with us, is that we make the process of selling a home easy to understand and give people options that they didn’t know they had”. “We have a simple three step process that includes a 5-10-minute phone call, a 30-minute property tour to assess updates/repairs needed, and then we give our cash offer – right on the spot”.
The Home Buyers of Pittsburgh team recently worked with a Dormont woman that wanted to sell her home because she was moving to Costa Rica!
“Initially when she called in, like most people, they were a little skeptical of who we were and the process, but that was quickly alleviated when I showed them everywhere they could find us.” Said Ryan Lauer, Acquisitions Manager. “Most people receive advertisements from multiple companies and complain that no one picks up when they call or they back out on them. When they call us, they know what they’re getting – exceptional service backed by over 100 – 5 Star Google Reviews”.
After their initial phone call Mr. Lauer went on the appointment to go see the house and assess any repairs or updates that were needed. Also during the house tour, he said he likes to sit down with the sellers and learn more about the situation so that he can craft an offer that fits their exact needs.
In this particular situation, the sellers had concerns that they would have to close too fast and wouldn’t have time to get her affairs in order for Costa Rica. There were a lot of moving parts to exchange citizenship.
Mr. Lauer said “When we were going over the situation, I let her know that we can close on her timeline, but in as little as 21 days and that we would buy the house as-is – which meant she could leave everything she didn’t want to take with and we would handle it after purchase.”
All in all, the HomeBuyers of Pittsburgh team was able to successfully purchase the home and help her make a smooth transition.
“Janet was so easy and great to work with.” Said Mr. Lauer “Transitioning into a new home can be stressful enough, let alone moving to another country. We wanted to do everything we could to make it easy as possible.”
Janet was kind enough to leave the team a 5- Star Review: “Home Buyers of Pittsburgh offered the best solution for selling my house, I needed a flexible closing date. They also took care of final clean-up & any repairs or updates. Ryan Lauer & Danielle Smith were great to work with!”
