Founders Aaron Archibald and Ryan Scialabba

UCG Homebuyers of Pittsburgh was founded in mid 2015 after two long time investors Ryan Scialabba and Aaron Archibald met while finishing projects on the same street. As they became close friends, they learned that they both wanted to fulfill the same vision of simplifying the home selling process and providing solutions to complex real estate problems and help homeowners looking to sell their homes for cash, in any condition, on the day they choose.

On July 28, 2015 they bought their first two houses together and formed their first company, the Urban Capital Group. After helping 100’s of homeowners sell their home much faster than the traditional route, they were able to build a team of incredible people to help fulfill their vision.

As their company grew, they became known as The Homebuyers of Pittsburgh and have been the #1 Professional Homebuyer in Pittsburgh multiple years in a row. With an A+ BBB rating, perfect 5 star Google rating, and multiple local and national awards, their reputation and hardwork has spoke for itself.
