Who We Are

About Our Company

At 814 Home Buyers of Erie, we are more than just a real estate solutions company — we are a family with deep roots in Erie, Pennsylvania. As a small, family-owned business, we believe in doing business the right way: with honesty, compassion, and a genuine commitment to helping our neighbors.

Our mission is simple — to help homeowners sell their homes quickly, easily, and without stress. Many of our customers come to us looking for an alternative to the traditional real estate process. Selling a home through a realtor can take months, sometimes even years, and often requires costly repairs, deep cleaning, and endless uncertainty. We offer a different path: we buy homes directly, as-is, saving you time, money, and energy.

Whether you’re facing foreclosure, dealing with health challenges, managing an inherited property, or navigating a major life transition, we understand how overwhelming these situations can feel. That’s why we step in — not just to purchase your home, but to offer a caring hand and a solution when you need it most.

Our Mission

At 814 Home Buyers, we are proud to serve others, but what truly drives us is the opportunity to make a difference. Our goal is to run an honorable, family-centered business that our children can be proud of and one that lifts up local families in Erie and surrounding communities. We’re committed to providing homeowners with a fast, transparent, and hassle-free way to sell their homes — without the hidden fees, stress, and delays that often come with listing through a realtor.

Every homeowner we meet has a unique story, and we take the time to listen. We understand that behind every property is a family, a lifetime of memories, and often, difficult decisions. That’s why transparency and honesty are the foundation of everything we do.

At 814 Home Buyers, we don’t just see properties — we see people. And we treat every person we work with the same way we would want our own family to be treated: with dignity, empathy, and respect. Our team is made up of individuals who genuinely care about making a positive impact, and we work hard to create fast, fair, and effective solutions that bring peace of mind to every client we serve.
