About Liberty Bell Investments
Company bio
Liberty Bell Investments is a cash property buyer based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, buying around the city. Ed McDevitt and Rocky Ilashvili own the company. It's been in business since 2015. McDevitt handles acquisitions and marketing; Ilashvili handles operations and construction. The company says it is a licensed, insured general contractor with in-house crews and reports more than 300 completed home rehabs.
It says offers come with proof of funds and a non-refundable deposit. Sellers can skip repairs and pay no realtor commissions, with standard closing costs covered. Mortgages, back taxes, liens, and judgments generally come from the seller's proceeds rather than upfront payments. The company may offer from property details or arrange a visit, with no obligation to accept. A local title company handles settlement.

Customer experience
Top 50% in PA
Liberty Bell Investments has a strong customer experience profile. Every rating in its lifetime review record was five-star. The main limit was review depth: 28 ratings provided moderate evidence. Its Customer Experience score of 85/100 places it above the middle of comparable cash buyers serving a single market.
Lifetime ratings. Lifetime feedback was uniformly positive: 28 rated reviews averaged 5.0/5, all five-star. Reviews dated back to 2016. Our methodology adjusts small rating samples toward the typical company rating, then maps the adjusted rating to a score and applies a small review-depth deduction that decreases as the record grows. Volume credit grows with every rating, with an additional small adjustment that grows fastest over the first few hundred ratings and then slows. It strengthens the distance from the neutral, sample-adjusted 4.5-star signal; this record received a 0.13% adjustment to that signal. This added 0.03 score points before the depth deduction and confidence limit. The confidence limit also constrained the score.
Recent ratings. The latest 12 months contained 2 5-star ratings. The latest 6 months contained 2 5-star ratings, through October 22, 2026. No ratings appeared over the latest 3 months.
Rating trends. Ratings held steady at 5.0 across the lifetime record and the 6-month period — a change of 0 stars, or 0%. The five-star share remained 100%. The newest sample contained only 2 ratings, too few to establish a broad current pattern.
Common themes. A smooth process led the feedback, appearing in 15 of 22 detailed customer reviews (68%), followed by fair pricing in 9 (41%). Other common themes — compassionate treatment, fast closings, and knowledge and capability — each appeared in 8 (36%). Reviews could mention multiple themes.
Review relevance. We classified 23 of 28 reviews (82%) as relevant to the home-selling experience. Another 1 concerned property buyers. The remaining 4 reviews had too little text to analyze. All 28 star ratings remained in the lifetime rating record.
Recent activity
Bottom 50% in PA
Company activity · As of October 22, 2026 — our latest collection date.
Liberty Bell Investments has recent review activity. The sparse recent review record limits the pace assessment. Its 6-month review volume is higher than similar companies. No new reviews appeared over the past 3 months. We lack direct business-activity data, including purchase figures. Its Activity score of 63/100 places it around the top 44% of comparable cash buyers serving a single market.
Recent review volume. 6-month counts are higher than the median for similar companies; 3-month counts are equal to the median for similar companies; 12-month counts are lower than the median for similar companies. We counted 2 reviews over 12 months, 2 over 6 months and 0 over 3 months. Similar companies had median counts of 3, 1, and 0, respectively.
Recent review pace. Its recent review rate is above its lifetime average, but the recent record is too sparse for a formal pace classification. Its 6-month rate was 1.4× its lifetime average pace, compared with 0× over 3 months and 0.7× over 12 months. Recent rates averaged 0.3 reviews per month over 6 months, 0 over 3 months and 0.2 over 12 months, versus a lifetime average of 0.2. The record contains 28 reviews dating back to 2016. A few reviews can noticeably change the recent pace.
Review freshness. Its latest review on file was June 11, 2026 — about 4 months old as of our last data refresh. 7% of all reviews appeared within the last 6 months, and the average review age was about 7 years.
Other business activity. We have no claimed directory profile, completed enhanced screening, business interview, or reviewed purchase figure on file.

How we researched and scored this company
Methodology
We research each company using its website, business profiles, and third-party customer reviews. We use company sources to understand its services and terms, and distinguish those claims from independent evidence. When available, we also draw on interviews with company representatives and sellers, and relevant public records.
When there is enough evidence, we calculate an overall score out of 100 using 3 categories:
- Customer experience (67.5%) reflects customer satisfaction, based primarily on average customer ratings and the number of reviews supporting them.
- Recent activity (20%) reflects recent review volume, how recently the company received a review, and how its recent review pace compares with its history. Reviews are a signal of activity, not a count of completed home purchases.
- Credibility (12.5%) considers business verification, website transparency, public engagement, and documented operating history.
Use the company or location identified on this page when interpreting the evidence. A broader company record may not describe every local office. Review history is separate from the company’s founding date.
Limited evidence can restrict what we can assess. A company may appear without a score, and a small review sample may not represent a typical seller’s experience. Scores summarize the evidence available to us; they do not predict an offer price or guarantee a sale or service quality.
