Founder

Scott Cole

30+ Years in Financial Services

After 30+ years in financial services, I saw families destroyed by foreclosure—losing their homes and their dignity. I watched inherited properties overwhelm grieving children. I saw divorcing couples trapped by houses they couldn't sell. I started Whatley Homes to offer a better option.

When you call our number, you're talking to me. When we visit your property, I'm the one walking through it. This isn't a corporate operation where you're passed between departments. It's a direct relationship with someone who genuinely cares about your situation.

I live in Eastern Pennsylvania with my family. The homes I buy, I improve and return to local families as quality housing. I'm not here to flip and run—I'm invested in these communities for the long term.

“Scott treated me with respect when I felt like I had no options. I walked away with money in my pocket instead of a foreclosure on my record.”

— Robert M., Tannersville

Our Approach

Why We're Different

We exist for the situations where speed, certainty, and simplicity matter most—and we do it with integrity.

Situations We Help With

Families facing foreclosure with no options

We provide a fast, dignified exit before credit is destroyed

Inherited homes that are overwhelming to manage

We buy as-is, handling the cleanout and repairs ourselves

Divorcing couples who can't agree on listing

We offer a clean split with fast cash for both parties

Homes too damaged for traditional sale

We see potential where others see problems

How We Do Business

People Over Profit

Every homeowner has a story. We listen first, offer second. If selling to us isn't right for you, we'll tell you.

Radical Transparency

No hidden fees. No bait-and-switch. The price we quote is the price you get. We explain everything upfront.

Respect Your Time

We show up when we say we will. We make decisions quickly. We don't waste your time with endless back-and-forth.

Local Commitment

We live here. We invest here. Every home we buy, we improve and return to the community as quality housing.

Maria G.

Stroudsburg, PA

After my father passed, I inherited a house that needed so much work. Scott made everything easy. He gave me a fair price and let me take my time clearing out dad's belongings. I couldn't have asked for a better experience during such a difficult time.

Inherited Property

James & Linda T.

East Stroudsburg, PA

We were tired of maintaining our big house and wanted to move closer to our grandkids. Whatley Homes gave us a cash offer the same week we called. No repairs, no open houses. We closed in 3 weeks and moved stress-free.

Downsizing
RM

Robert M.

Tannersville, PA

I was about to lose my home to the bank. Scott worked with me and the mortgage company to close fast. He treated me with respect when I felt like I had no options. I walked away with money in my pocket instead of a foreclosure on my record.
