Sell your house fast in Hyattsville, Maryland.

Need to sell your house fast in Hyattsville? Old Line Home Buyers buys Prince George’s County houses for cash, as-is, with no repairs, no fees, and no commissions. You get a written offer, usually within a day, and you pick the closing date.

Hyattsville is the oldest inside-the-Beltway housing Prince George’s County has: 1920s and 30s bungalows and foursquares in the historic district off Route 1, 1940s cape cods and brick rowhomes in West Hyattsville and Chillum, and the 1950s ramblers of University Hills and Lewisdale. The era brought aluminum branch wiring, Federal Pacific panels and galvanized plumbing with it, and a retail buyer’s lender flags every one. The city and the county each have their own rules for rentals on top. We buy Hyattsville houses through all of it.

We buy Hyattsville bungalows, cape cods, rowhomes and ramblers as-is, inside the city line or in the unincorporated neighborhoods that share the address, with tenants in place or estates still open.

Two governments, two sets of rental rules

The county’s Department of Permitting, Inspections and Enforcement licenses every single-family rental for two years, with an inspection, and the license has to exist before a tenant moves in. The City of Hyattsville layers its own rental rules and inspections on top for addresses inside city limits, and adds its own property tax line to the county’s. Since October 2024 the county’s rent stabilization law also caps annual increases on covered units, never more than 6% a year, so a house with a below-market tenant cannot simply be re-priced after closing. A house rented without the license cannot lawfully collect rent, which is why an owner who inherited a Chillum or Lewisdale rental often cannot remove a non-paying tenant. We buy tenant-occupied houses licensed or not, on the lease as it stands, and the tenant, the license and the cap become ours at closing. The notice rules are in our guide to selling a tenant-occupied property in Maryland.

What the lender flags on a 1940s house, and why we do not

• Aluminum branch wiring and Federal Pacific panels. Common in the postwar stock across West Hyattsville, Landover Hills and Riverdale Park. Priced, not refused.
• Galvanized plumbing and cast-iron stacks. Same answer.
• Peeling paint, a missing handrail, a roof past its life. The FHA and VA appraisal conditions that stall a financed sale here. There is no appraisal in a cash sale.
• Additions that never saw a permit. We buy the house as it stands and sort the permit questions out after closing.

Estates, the Arts District, and the rowhomes toward the District line

The Hyattsville calls we get most are an inherited bungalow in Hyattsville Hills or University Hills with the original kitchen and a full basement, a rental in Chillum, Adelphi or Landover Hills with a tenant the owner cannot legally remove, and a rowhome near the Route 1 corridor whose owner is done with it. Estates are opened with the Register of Wills in Upper Marlboro, and Maryland law lets the personal representative sell without a separate court order in most cases. We buy mid-probate with the contents in place. The transfer math is the county’s: 1.4% county transfer tax, $5.50 per $1,000 recordation, 0.5% to the state, all calculated by a licensed Maryland title company from closing funds.

How the sale runs

A written offer with the math shown, usually within a day, then two to three weeks to settlement on your date. If the county’s early-May tax sale is the deadline, we schedule ahead of it.
