About us
A locally owned Pittsburgh home buying company
Citylife Home Buyers buys houses directly from owners in Pittsburgh and the surrounding counties. We are based at 1812 E Carson St, Pittsburgh, PA 15203, in the South Side, and we buy houses as-is, for cash, on the seller's timeline.
How we work
We are home buyers, not agents. When we buy a house, we pay for the repairs, then resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental.
That is why we can buy houses that need a lot of work, have tenants in place, or come out of an estate, and why there are no commissions to pay when you sell to us. It is also why our offer is usually below full market value: we take on the repairs, the costs, and the risk of resale.
Whether the property needs major repairs, has difficult tenants, was inherited, is facing foreclosure, or simply no longer fits your plans, we try to make the sale simple and to be straight with you about the numbers.
What you can expect from us
- A real conversation about your situation, not a script.
- A fair, written offer, with an explanation of how we got to the number.
- No pressure. The decision is yours, and no is a fine answer.
- A closing date you choose, at a local title company.
