Mike on a Easton property walkthrough
Easton has some of the oldest housing stock in the Lehigh Valley — pre-Civil War singles in the historic district, 1880s rowhomes downtown, and 1920s craftsman-style throughout the West Ward. College Hill, around Lafayette College, has solid single-family inventory and tends to be the most resilient neighborhood. West Ward is the most affordable and has the most distressed inventory we see — code-violation properties from the City of Easton's rental inspection program, tax-delinquent estates, and tired landlords. Wilson Borough, Palmer Township, and Forks Township to the south and west fill out our service area; these are mid-century to modern singles. The Easton Area School District covers most of the area. Easton's distress patterns: judicial foreclosure (PA's process runs ~6 months from first missed payment to sheriff sale at the Northampton County courthouse on Washington Street), inherited probate from longtime crayola/cement families, and absentee landlords with code-violation pressure. Mike's inspector credential matters disproportionately in Easton because the housing stock is genuinely old — slate roofs, knob-and-tube, asbestos, lead paint are common, and most cash buyers either lowball these properties or won't touch them.
Easton has some of the oldest housing stock in the region — pre-war rowhomes, 1920s singles, and mid-century. Mike's InterNACHI inspector background means we won't miss hidden issues that less experienced buyers would either overlook (and underbid) or use to lowball you.

PA Licensed Home Inspector
Other cash buyers guess at your home's value, then drop their price at closing when they find issues. Mike sees the real picture from day one—so his offer stays the same.
I started buying homes in Allentown in 2010 because I kept seeing families get lowballed after the third-party home inspection. Getting my InterNACHI certification was the obvious answer — it's the only way I could give a price I'd actually stand behind.
Mike's 5.0-star reputation spans both his inspection practice and ABE Homes — same person, same standard.

Sub-Markets
Each Easton neighborhood has its own housing-stock era, character, and distress pattern. We price every property to its specific sub-market — not a city-wide average.
Pre-Civil War housing stock — federal-style singles, 1700s stone houses, the original block grid laid out from the Lehigh-Delaware confluence. Home of the National Canal Museum and the Crayola Experience (Crayola LLC, formerly Binney & Smith, has its global flagship store here).
What we see most often
Probate estates from longtime downtown merchant families and tax delinquency advancing to Northampton County Upset Sale at the courthouse on Washington Street.
North of downtown, anchored by Lafayette College (founded 1826). Victorian and craftsman singles with the best-condition stock in the city; some faculty and alumni-owned homes have been in families for generations.
What we see most often
Estate sales from Lafayette faculty and longtime downtown professional families. Less distress, more aging-in-place transitions.
The most affordable Easton inventory and the most distressed. Working-class twins and rowhomes from the 1900s-1950s. Subject to active rental-inspection program from the City of Easton — many properties have outstanding code citations.
What we see most often
Code-violation properties and tax-delinquent estates. Tired absentee landlords leaving the rental business after the city tightened rental inspection enforcement.
South of the Lehigh River, a separate borough until 1898. Originally settled by Native Americans and later by canal workers; home to several silk mills in the late 1800s. The Lehigh River separates South Side from the rest of the city.
What we see most often
Estate sales from former silk-mill and canal-era families. Some flood-zone properties near the river that other buyers won't touch.
Suburbs immediately adjacent to the city — Wilson Borough partly aligns with Easton's grid; Palmer and Forks Townships are post-WWII subdivisions. Forks is home to the global headquarters of Victaulic and Crayola LLC.
What we see most often
Relocation and divorce-driven sales dominate; less distress, more lifestyle transition. Wilson Borough has more older worker housing than the townships.
We're not a national franchise — we're local Lehigh Valley investors who've been buying homes since 2010.

What We See
These are the most common scenarios we encounter in Easton. If yours sounds familiar, we've handled it before.
Easton's West Ward has the most active code-enforcement and rental-inspection activity in the city. Investors who can't keep up with citations are exiting; we close as-is and resolve violations after closing from our budget.
Easton's downtown and South Side have pre-Civil War singles and 1700s federal-style stone houses. Most cash buyers either lowball these or won't touch them. As an InterNACHI-certified inspector, Mike accurately prices old structure (lead, asbestos, knob-and-tube) — neither inflating repair costs nor missing them.
Easton's industrial heritage runs through Binney & Smith / Crayola (still HQ in Forks Township), the former Dixie Cup Corporation, Majestic Athletic (Palmer Township), and Lafayette College faculty. Second- and third-generation heirs are now selling family homes throughout College Hill and the surrounding townships.
The Northampton County Courthouse is in Easton itself, so sheriff sale dates are visible to anyone walking by. Sellers often call us in the final weeks before a scheduled sale; we routinely close in 5–7 days when the pressure is on.
Whatever your circumstances, we're here to help. No judgment, just solutions that work for you.

Pennsylvania inheritance tax is owed by the heir, not the estate, and is due within 9 months of death (5% discount if paid in 3). Use this to estimate before talking to your estate attorney.

PRE-1900 STOCK
Easton has some of the oldest housing stock in the Lehigh Valley — pre-1850 federal-style singles in the historic district, 1880s silk-mill rowhomes downtown and South Side, and 1920s craftsman through the West Ward. Most cash buyers either lowball these or won't touch them. As an InterNACHI-certified inspector, Mike accurately prices old structure: knob-and-tube wiring, asbestos siding, lead paint, slate roofs.
CLOSING COSTS
Total tax rate
Pennsylvania charges 1% state plus Easton's 1% local (0.5% city + 0.5% Easton Area School District). On a $220,000 sale, that's roughly $4,400 total — typically split 50/50 between buyer and seller per local custom. On cash deals we often cover both halves.
CITY OFFICES
The City of Easton's rental inspection program is the most active in the Lehigh Valley. West Ward has the highest citation volume. If you have open citations, you can sell as-is to us — we pay off the violations after closing using sale proceeds. No need to fix anything first.
(610) 250-6724COURTHOUSE IN-CITY
The Northampton County courthouse is in downtown Easton — the same building handles foreclosure sheriff sales, register of wills for probate, and county recorder of deeds. We routinely close before sale dates to pay off the lender from sale proceeds. Sellers often call us in the final weeks before a scheduled sale; we close in 5–7 days when the pressure is on.

PROBATE
The Northampton County Register of Wills issues Letters Testamentary 2–6 weeks after the petition. Once issued, the executor can usually sell without all heirs' signatures (in most cases). We coordinate directly with your probate attorney and close after Letters issue. PA inheritance tax: 0% direct heirs, 12% siblings, 15% others.

The Inspector Difference
