With Mike
InterNACHI Certified Home Inspector
InterNACHI is the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors — the largest non-profit home inspector body in North America.
The contract price is the closing price.
Final price. Guaranteed.
Mike IS the home inspector. His walkthrough IS the inspection. No surprise reductions. The price you see is the price you get — that's the honest pricing he's built his reputation on.
Mike's InterNACHI certification (#21032009) means his valuation is accurate from day one — the contract price is the closing price. No surprise revisions after the walkthrough.
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 Nazareth: What to Expect
InterNACHI Certified Inspector
Mike on a Nazareth property walkthrough
Nazareth Borough and the surrounding Lower Nazareth, Upper Nazareth, and Bushkill townships make up our northern Northampton County footprint. Nazareth itself has a strong Moravian-history downtown with older singles, plus 1950s–1990s ranch and split-level stock toward Bushkill. The Nazareth Area School District covers a wide footprint and is a strong property-value driver. Distress patterns: probate/inherited estates from longtime borough families, plus the regular mix of divorce and relocation sales in the newer townships.
Local Lehigh Valley buyer, certified home inspector-owned, 15+ years in Northampton County.

We buy houses in Nazareth — certified inspector, firm offer, no surprises at the closing table.
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.
Each Nazareth 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.
01
Nazareth Borough
Walkable Moravian-history downtown — the borough was founded by Moravian settlers in 1740 and retains a strong historic character. Mix of pre-Revolution stone, Victorian singles, and small-town commercial core. Nazareth Area School District.
What we see most often
Estate sales from longtime borough families, plus probate-driven sales where heirs are out of state. Some homes have been in single families since the 1800s.
02
Lower Nazareth Township
Suburban townships with mid-century ranches, split-levels, and modern subdivisions. Same Nazareth Area schools. Mix of newer construction and 1950s–1970s housing.
What we see most often
Divorce-driven sales dominate the newer subdivisions. Court-imposed timelines benefit from a 7-day cash close.
03
Upper Nazareth Township
Slightly more rural, larger lots toward Bushkill Center. Same school district zoning, suburban-rural feel.
What we see most often
Aging-in-place transitions and occasional relocation sales.
04
Bushkill Township
Rural-suburban mix; newer construction along Bushkill Drive. Borders the Nazareth Country Club.
What we see most often
Divorce-driven sales in the newer-build subdivisions; some larger-acreage estates.

We Help Nazareth Homeowners In Any Situation
No matter what's going on in your life, we can help you sell quickly and move forward.
These are the most common scenarios we encounter in Nazareth. If yours sounds familiar, we've handled it before.
01
Moravian-borough multi-generation estate sales
Nazareth Borough has been a stable Moravian community since 1740. Multi-generation estate sales are common; many homes have been in single families for 100-200+ years and need an experienced cash buyer who can value pre-Revolution stone and 1800s framing accurately. Letters Testamentary issued at the Northampton County Register of Wills in Easton unlock the executor's right to sell. PA inheritance tax (0% spouse / 4.5% direct descendant / 12% sibling / 15% other) settled at closing from proceeds.
PA equitable-distribution law splits marital property fairly (not 50/50). Nazareth Area School District's strong reputation creates real equity to divide. Court-imposed sale timelines benefit from a 7-day cash close at the Northampton courthouse. Both spouses' attorneys coordinate; offer structured for transparent split. No 'one spouse picks the buyer' dynamic.
03
Out-of-state inherited property
Many estate sellers we work with from the Nazareth area live in NJ, NY, FL, CA, or further. We coordinate with the Northampton County Register of Wills and the title company so heirs don't need to travel for closing — remote signings with mobile notary in the heir's home state. Multi-generation accumulation typical; we handle the cleanout.
04
C.F. Martin corporate-employee relocations
C.F. Martin & Company (1833 — world headquarters at 510 Sycamore St) is the dominant private employer in the borough. Corporate transfers, executive relocations, factory restructuring scenarios show up regularly. Less time-pressure than foreclosure scenarios; cleaner closings. Post-possession arrangements (stay 30-60 days after closing) negotiated routinely for relocation timing.
How fast can I sell my house in Nazareth, PA — and is the cash offer the price I actually get?
Most Nazareth homeowners get a written cash offer within 24 hours and pick a closing date as fast as 7 days. ABE Homes is owned by Mike Sup, an InterNACHI Certified Professional Inspector (#21032009) who walks every property himself — so the number on the contract is the number at closing. No third-party inspector is sent in afterward to "find issues" and cut the price.
You pay zero commissions, zero closing costs, and make zero repairs — ABE buys Nazareth houses as-is, including inherited, tenant-occupied, code-cited, and pre-foreclosure homes. Any back taxes and municipal liens are settled out of the closing proceeds, not your pocket.

What you'll actually take home after PA inheritance tax
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.
Pay PA tax within 3 months of death and receive a 5% discount.
Your inheritance tax rate
4.5%
PA inheritance tax owed
$9,675
Net proceeds after tax
$205,325
This estimate assumes the home is the only inherited asset. Real estate is taxed on the date-of-death fair market value. If you sell within a few months of inheriting, our cash offer typically equals the market value Pennsylvania uses to assess the tax.
Practical answers to the Nazareth- and Northampton County-specific questions we get most — not a generic PA guide.
Nazareth, Pennsylvania
CLOSING COSTS
2%
Total rate (state + local)
Realty transfer tax
Pennsylvania charges 1% state plus 1% local. On Nazareth's median value (~$285,000), that's roughly $5,700 — typically split 50/50 between buyer and seller. We pay our half; on cash deals we often cover both.
Foreclosure sheriff sales in Northampton County are scheduled by the court. We routinely close BEFORE the sale date to pay off the lender from proceeds and get the case dismissed. A sale date is your hard deadline — but it's fixable.
Delinquent taxes in Northampton County advance to Upset Sale, then Judicial Sale if unpaid. They're settled out of OUR closing proceeds — you don't pay them out of pocket.
An inherited property in probate clears the Northampton County Register of Wills. Letters Testamentary typically issue 2–6 weeks after the petition. Once issued, the executor can sell without all heirs' signatures.
These answers are specific to Nazareth and Northampton County. Every sale we've handled here ran through these exact offices and processes.
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.
01
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.
02
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.
03
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.
04
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.
Probate Letters Testamentary for inherited Nazareth-area properties (Borough, Lower Nazareth, Upper Nazareth, Bushkill Township) are issued at the Northampton County Courthouse. Once issued, the executor can sell without all heirs' signatures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from Nazareth homeowners about selling to us.
Nazareth-specific. PA-law accurate. Updated for 2026.
“
Nazareth Borough or the surrounding townships?
Both. Nazareth Borough, Lower Nazareth Township, Upper Nazareth Township, and Bushkill Township are all in our regular service area. The Nazareth Area School District covers all four and is a strong driver of property values across the entire footprint. Comparable-sale analysis honors the district boundary versus surrounding districts (Pen Argyl Area, Bath / Northampton Area, Easton Area).
“
How much does the Nazareth Area School District add to my home's value?
Significant. Nazareth Area is one of the higher-rated districts in Northampton County — strong test scores, balanced student-teacher ratios. The equity premium is real versus neighboring Pen Argyl Area (north), Bath / Northampton Area (west), and Easton Area (south) districts. We price that in honestly. The premium is strongest in the borough core + central Lower Nazareth Township; transitional border zones get priced more conservatively.
“
We inherited an estate property in Nazareth. How does PA inheritance tax work?
Pennsylvania inheritance tax: 0% to surviving spouse; 4.5% to direct descendants and parents (children, grandchildren, parents); 12% to siblings; 15% to other heirs (nieces, nephews, friends, non-charitable beneficiaries). Probate runs 6–12 months in Northampton County. Letters Testamentary issued at the Northampton County Register of Wills (669 Washington St, Easton, (610) 829-6488). Tax settled at closing from sale proceeds — heirs don't write a check up front.
“
Moravian-history Nazareth property — 200+ years in our family. What special considerations?
Multi-generation Moravian-borough estate sales are our most common Nazareth scenario. Pre-Revolution stone houses (Whitefield House 1740 era), 1800s singles with original brick + stone foundations, period-correct interior details. Mike's InterNACHI training prices pre-1850 stock accurately — most cash buyers either ghost or undervalue genuinely old structure. Letters Testamentary from Northampton County RoW; PA inheritance tax settled at closing. No 'broom clean' requirement for properties with 200-year accumulation.
“
Divorce — Nazareth Area equity is real. How does cash sale help?
PA equitable-distribution law splits marital property fairly (not necessarily 50/50). Nazareth Area's school-district premium creates real equity to divide — meaningful in court-imposed timeline scenarios. A neutral 7-day cash close (no agent commissions, no buyer-financing risk) means more clean equity available for distribution. Both spouses' attorneys coordinate; offer structured for transparent split. Court-imposed sale deadlines handled routinely.
“
C.F. Martin Guitar factory employees — corporate-relocation scenarios?
Yes — we see relocation sales from C.F. Martin Guitar Co. employees regularly. Martin (founded 1833, world headquarters at 510 Sycamore St) is the dominant private employer in the borough. Corporate transfers, executive relocations, factory restructuring scenarios — we handle the timeline. Less time-pressure than foreclosure scenarios; cleaner closings. Post-possession arrangements (stay 30-60 days after closing) negotiated routinely for relocation timing.
“
Closing time?
7 days from signed contract. Northampton County recording in Easton (~10 miles east). Faster for sellers facing sheriff sale or Upset Tax Sale dates. Post-possession arrangements available.
“
Fees?
Zero. No commissions, no closing costs, no service fees. Back taxes, code violations, municipal liens (53 P.S. § 7101), PA inheritance tax all paid from sale proceeds. The offer is the net cash you receive.
