The Home Inspector Advantage

Other Buyers Guess.
Mike Knows.

Traditional cash buyers make an offer, then send a home inspector later to find reasons to pay you less. Mike IS the home inspector. His walkthrough IS the inspection. Your offer is fair from day one — no "revised" lowball later.

The structural difference

The other Lehigh Valley cash buyers — Pezon, ClearEdge, iBuyLehigh, We Buy Ugly Houses — are investors or wholesalers. None of them are InterNACHI-certified home inspectors. ABE is the only one. That's why our offer doesn't change between contract and closing.

Selling a House in Fountain Hill: What to Expect

InterNACHI Certified Inspector

Mike on a Fountain Hill property walkthrough

Fountain Hill Borough was incorporated 1893 and sits directly south of Allentown center, dense with Steel-era rowhomes built for Bethlehem Steel and railroad workers. The borough is bordered by Allentown (north), Salisbury Township (south), and Bethlehem (east). Most distress patterns we see here lean toward estate sales from third-generation Steel families and rental-property turnover near the St. Luke's Hospital campus. Mike's InterNACHI training is unusually relevant here — century-old housing stock has features (slate roofs, original cast-iron drains, knob-and-tube wiring) that less-experienced cash buyers misvalue.

Why We're Different

The Only Cash Buyer
Who IS The 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

Fountain Hill Neighborhood Profiles

Each Fountain Hill 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.

Broadway corridor

The borough's commercial-residential spine. Steel-era brick rowhomes line both sides of Broadway from the Allentown border down to St. Luke's. Highest density in the borough; many original slate roofs still intact. Walkable to Bethlehem's South Side via the New Street Bridge.

What we see most often

Estate sales from third-generation Bethlehem Steel and Lehigh Valley Railroad families. Most heirs live out of state and inherit alongside siblings; partition-action risk if siblings disagree. We coordinate with the estate attorney + sometimes a divorce-style neutral close when siblings can't agree.

Seneca / Hoffert / Cleveland blocks

Dense mill-worker singles and twins north of St. Luke's. Highest Hispanic concentration in the borough — most calls from this area are bilingual. School-zoned to Donegan Elementary (Bethlehem Area District).

What we see most often

Rental-property turnover (small-portfolio landlords exiting), inherited properties from elderly Hispanic homeowners whose adult children moved to Allentown's west side or Bethlehem Township. Mike handles closings in Spanish; we transfer tenants under the PA Landlord-Tenant Act if occupied.

Bear Hill (east borough)

Larger single-family lots up the hill toward Bethlehem city line. 1920s-1950s stucco + Tudor singles, often with original mechanicals (oil-fired boilers, knob-and-tube). Higher median value than Broadway corridor.

What we see most often

Aging-in-place + divorce. Equity here is real (school-district premium + larger lots), so divorce-driven sales need an honest broker for the equitable-distribution split.

St. Luke's adjacent (Ostrum / Cleveland)

Properties directly bordering the St. Luke's University Hospital — Bethlehem campus. Mid-century post-war singles built during hospital expansion. The hospital footprint has slowly grown into adjacent residential blocks over decades.

What we see most often

Hospital-employee relocation sales (nurses + residents on rotations), plus aging-in-place from longtime medical-staff families. Occasional hospital-acquisition offers create reluctant-seller scenarios.

What We See

Why Fountain Hill Sellers Call Us

These are the most common scenarios we encounter in Fountain Hill. If yours sounds familiar, we've handled it before.

Steel-family estate sales

Third-generation heirs of Bethlehem Steel and Lehigh Valley Railroad workers selling century-old Fountain Hill rowhomes. Out-of-state heirs are common; many inherit alongside siblings. Letters Testamentary issued at the Lehigh County Register of Wills in Allentown unlock the executor's right to sell.

Bilingual Hispanic estate + rental transitions

30%+ Hispanic share per 2020 Census means routine bilingual closings. Many estate sellers are first- or second-generation Hispanic homeowners whose adult children moved elsewhere. Spanish-language closings are standard, not exceptional, here.

St. Luke's-area rental turnover

Burned-out landlords with Steel-era and mid-century rowhomes around the St. Luke's Hospital campus. Tenant-in-place sales common; Mike assumes leases at closing under the PA Landlord-Tenant Act — no eviction friction for the seller.

Code-violation escalation

The borough's dense Steel-era housing stock + active code-enforcement office means violations escalate quickly. We've closed mid-escalation when sellers wanted to exit before liens recorded. Lien certificates paid from sale proceeds.

Our Guarantee

The No-Nonsense Promise

We built our reputation on doing business the right way. Here is what you can expect when you contact us.

We won't sell your number

We hate spam too. Your phone number is safe with us — we will never sell it, share it, or use it to harass you. One conversation, at your pace.

We won't post a “Sold” sign

Your situation stays between us. No 'Sold' signs posted, no neighbor gossip, no public marketing tied to your property. Discretion is standard — not an upgrade.

We won't run a countdown timer on you

Take the offer or leave it. We are here to help, not to run countdown timers or call you five times a day. If the numbers don't work for you, no hard feelings.

We won't charge you a single fee

What we offer is what you get. We pay all closing costs, title fees, and transfer taxes — both sides. The number we put in writing is the number that hits your account.

The Inspector Difference

We won't lower your price at closing

Other cash buyers offer high to lock you in, then send a third-party home inspector to find ‘issues’ and lower the price at closing. Mike IS the InterNACHI Certified Home Inspector. His walkthrough IS the inspection. The first price is the closing price.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from Fountain Hill homeowners about selling to us.

Fountain Hill-specific. PA-law accurate. Updated for 2026.

Do you buy in Fountain Hill specifically, separate from Allentown?

Yes. Fountain Hill is its own borough (incorporated 1893) bordering south Allentown with its own borough government, zoning ordinances, code-enforcement office, and tax structure. Even though it's served by the Bethlehem Area School District (consolidated 1959), the borough operates independently. We treat it as a distinct market and price accordingly — Fountain Hill doesn't get "absorbed" into our Allentown comparables.

What about the rowhomes near St. Luke's Hospital?

We buy plenty of Steel-era rowhomes in the Broadway / Seneca / Hoffert area near the St. Luke's University Hospital — Bethlehem campus. Mike's InterNACHI training prices century-old slate roofs, masonry foundations, knob-and-tube wiring, and original cast-iron drains accurately — no padding the offer for unknowns. We've closed on Steel-era rowhomes that other cash buyers ghosted because they couldn't accurately scope the structural picture.

Do you speak Spanish? Fountain Hill is mostly Hispanic now.

Yes — Mike speaks Spanish natively. Fountain Hill's Hispanic share reached approximately 30% per the 2020 Census — among the highest in any Lehigh County borough. Every step (call, contract, attorney coordination, closing) is handled in Spanish if you prefer. No Google Translate, no broken communication.

What if my Fountain Hill house has code violations or municipal liens?

Active code violations and municipal liens (53 P.S. § 7101) get paid at closing from sale proceeds — you never write a check. Fountain Hill Borough's code-enforcement office sends notices that escalate quickly given the density of the borough; we've closed on properties mid-escalation. The title company pulls a lien certificate from the borough at closing; balances come out of the sale fund.

My parents owned a Fountain Hill rowhome. They've passed. How does probate work here?

Fountain Hill is in Lehigh County for probate — Letters Testamentary get issued at the Lehigh County Register of Wills (455 W Hamilton St, Allentown, (610) 782-3170). Once Letters issue, the executor can sell without all heirs' signatures — common when heirs live out-of-state. Mike works directly with the estate attorney; we coordinate everything through them. PA inheritance tax (4.5% for direct descendants) is settled at closing from sale proceeds.

I'm a burned-out landlord with tenants in a Fountain Hill rental. Can I still sell?

Yes — we buy with tenants in place. Under the PA Landlord-Tenant Act of 1951 (68 P.S. § 250.101), existing leases transfer to the new owner automatically. We assume the lease at closing; security deposits transfer per § 250.512. You exit the landlord business without serving notices, filing in court, or waiting 60-120 days for vacant possession.

Closing time?

7 days from signed contract. We've closed in 5 when a sheriff sale was scheduled. Lehigh County recording.

Any fees?

Zero. No commissions, no closing costs, no service fees. We pay back taxes, code-violation balances, and municipal liens out of sale proceeds. The offer is the net cash you receive.

Selling a Fountain Hill home in any of these situations? We cover all five.

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.
