Frequently Asked Questions

We’re not agents, and we don’t list houses. We’re professional home buyers. We buy Hudson Valley houses that meet our criteria, and we don’t use bank financing, so you don’t have to worry about our ability to close. After buying, we may repair and resell the house or keep it as a rental.

Agents list properties and hope someone buys them, then take a commission (often 3–6% of the sale price, or $3,000–$6,000 on a $100,000 house). We buy the house directly from you with our own cash, so we can decide within a couple of days, sometimes the same day. We make our living by taking on the risk, repairing the house and selling it ourselves.

Many of the houses we buy are below market value, because we need room to repair and resell them. Most sellers we work with value the speed and certainty: cash, a quick close with no waiting on financing, and no time, effort or expense fixing the property or paying agent fees. Our offers are no-obligation, so it never hurts to know the number.

We look at the location, the repairs needed, the current condition, and the value of comparable homes that sold nearby recently. Then we come up with a fair price that works for both of us.

No. There are no fees or commissions when you sell directly to us, compared with up to 6% when you list. We often pay closing costs, too. We make our money after we repair the house and sell it, and we take on that risk.

None. Tell us about your property, we’ll take a look, maybe call to learn a bit more, and make a fair all-cash offer. Whether you accept is 100% your decision.

As fast as you need, often within a couple of weeks once title is clear. Or later, if you need time to move. You pick the date.

No. We buy as-is. Take what you want and leave the rest; we’ll handle clean-out and repairs.

Yes. We buy rental properties with tenants in place, including situations with late or non-paying tenants.

Often you can start the process now. We’ll work with the estate’s attorney on timing and paperwork.
