What about properties with mine subsidence damage?

Greater Pittston has documented mine subsidence risk from the anthracite era. We buy properties with existing damage — cracked foundations, shifted walls, settling. Traditional buyers can't finance these; we pay cash.

Do you buy in Pittston Township and West Pittston too?

Yes. We buy throughout Greater Pittston — the city, both townships, and surrounding areas. The municipal boundaries don't affect our interest in a property.

How fast can you close?

Typically 7-14 days if title is clear. Flood zone or mine subsidence properties often have title complications or special insurance situations that add a week or two to resolve, but we handle all that coordination.

What if I inherited a property and don't live locally?

That's common. Many Pittston properties pass to heirs who moved away years ago. We handle everything remotely — virtual walkthroughs, electronic documents, mobile notary. You don't need to make multiple trips to the area.

Selling a House in Pittston Doesn't Have to Be Hard

Greater Pittston sits in the shadow of two forces that still shape every real estate deal: the Susquehanna River and the abandoned mines underneath.

The flood zones here aren't abstract. Agnes in 1972 and Lee in 2011 proved what the river can do, and FEMA's maps reflect that reality. Properties along the river and in low-lying areas require flood insurance that can cost more than the mortgage payment. Traditional buyers see the flood zone designation and walk away. Lenders see it and tighten requirements. Your buyer pool shrinks before you even list.

Then there's what's underground. The Knox Mine Disaster of 1959 literally flooded the mines beneath this region, but the tunnels and voids remain. Pittston, Pittston Township, and West Pittston all have areas where mine subsidence is a documented risk. Foundations crack. Walls show diagonal stress fractures. And when a buyer's lender orders a mine subsidence review, deals fall apart.

The housing stock adds another layer. Most of Pittston was built for coal workers and their families between 1880 and 1930. These row homes and twins have the solid construction of that era, but also the wiring, plumbing, and layouts of that era. Bringing them to modern code is expensive — often more expensive than makes financial sense.

Maybe you inherited a house on Main Street from a grandparent and you live in New Jersey. Maybe you've got a rental in Pittston Township that's been nothing but headaches since the last flood. Maybe you're watching property taxes stack up on a vacant house you can't sell traditionally because of the flood zone.

We buy houses throughout Greater Pittston — the city, the townships, West Pittston. We understand the flood maps, the mine subsidence risks, and the reality of selling in a market where traditional buyers face financing obstacles. You don't need to find a buyer who can get a loan. You don't need flood zone variances. You just need someone who'll pay cash and close.

Questions About Selling in Pittston
