Compare your choices
Listing may fit a house you can prepare and show, and a seller with time for showings, inspections, negotiation, and buyer financing. A direct sale is another comparison when repairs, cleanout, access, paperwork, or a deadline makes that work harder. Compare the costs and what you may keep, not just the first price you hear.
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.

City of Gloversville and Fulton County
City planning material describes Gloversville's leather-tanning and glove-making history and downtown around Cayadutta Creek. It identifies Downtown near Main and Fulton Streets and Kingsboro near State Street and Kingsboro Avenue as local historic-district areas. The document has blank adoption and approval dates, so it is local context—not proof that a rule or review applies to a particular address.
For a house near one of those areas, the City can explain current boundaries and any process to consider before you plan work. The City's 2026 guide directs building and code questions—including unsafe or vacant-building issues—to the Fire Department.
Before you agree to a closing plan
Check the deed and Surrogate's Court papers before deciding who can sign. A will naming an executor is not itself the court appointment. The court appointment, the will, and any court restrictions determine what can be sold and by whom. A specific gift of the house in a will can require the named person's agreement or a court order. An estate attorney or title company can review the papers for this property.
An ordinary sale generally leaves the lease and tenant protections in place; a sale alone does not require tenants to move. Bring the lease, rent and security-deposit records, access limits, and any notices or court papers into the comparison. If you have a question about ending a tenancy, use the actual lease and notices to get advice before acting.

More about tenant-occupied Gloversville houses →A sale may still be possible before the foreclosure auction if the mortgage payoff and other closing obligations can be covered. New York foreclosures go through court, and a referee conducts the sale. After the auction, there is no right to buy the house back. The date on your current court, lender, or sale notice matters.
If you live in the house and are in foreclosure or two or more months behind, New York's Home Equity Theft Prevention Act gives you 14 business days to cancel a sale to an investor. A lender payoff requires payment of the full amount owed, including applicable interest, fees, and costs. Selling first may help protect any equity you have.
Our agreement of sale will often get a foreclosure sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think.
New York State's real estate transfer tax is $2 for each $500 of the sale price, or part of $500, when the price exceeds $500. The seller normally pays this base tax, but the sale agreement can provide otherwise; local transfer taxes may add to it. A separate 1% mansion tax applies to residential sales of $1 million or more and is normally paid by the buyer.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New York State real estate transfer tax and any applicable local real estate transfer taxes. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

An as-is sale does not erase a code notice, court order, or deadline, but we can compare an offer with the costs and timing you are facing. The City directs building and code questions—including unsafe or vacant-building issues—to its Fire Department. Fulton County publishes separate Treasurer, tax-sale, and tax-foreclosure information; those pages do not establish a particular home's balance, lien, deadline, or status.

The deed and estate papers determine who can sign. Being named executor in a will is not the same as having the Surrogate’s Court appointment. A court-appointed executor or administrator can generally sell estate property during administration, subject to the will and court restrictions; if the will leaves the house to a specific person, that person’s agreement or a court order may be needed. Ask the title company or an estate attorney to check the papers for this property.
Yes. An ordinary sale generally leaves the existing lease and tenant protections in place, and the buyer becomes the landlord. Nobody has to move just because the house sells. If a tenancy can lawfully end, advance notice can be 30, 60, or 90 days depending on occupancy and lease term; Good Cause Eviction and rent regulation can also limit nonrenewal. At a sale, security deposits must be transferred to the new owner within five days or returned to tenants, with the required notice. Bring the lease, deposit records, and notices to closing.
