How to unload a distressed house in Shamokin, PA

My friend bought a distressed properties in Shamokin, PA (Northumberland County) two years ago. The house has been empty since then. It has created a lot of problems for him and he doesn't want to keep it any more. I have no knowledge about this township. I wanted to ask this quest to local investors/realtors. What is the best way to get rid of it? (I think it worth less than $15k).
