We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances.

Closing questions

Estate authority, foreclosure, tenants, and transfer tax

Selling a house held in an estate

An executor or administrator appointed by Surrogate's Court 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 is usually needed. Some court papers bar selling real estate without the court's approval, and a release of the New York estate-tax lien is generally needed to close. A valid transfer-on-death deed may pass the house outside probate. The deed and estate papers determine who can sign. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.

Selling before a foreclosure auction

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. 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. Stopping it by paying the lender requires 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. It doesn't always work, but it works more often than people think.

Selling a rental with tenants in place

You don't always need to evict to sell to us. We buy houses with tenants in place — we've done it many times, including cash-for-keys when that works better for everyone. An ordinary sale generally leaves the existing lease and tenant protections in place, and the buyer becomes the landlord. The tenant does not have to move just because the house sells. If a tenancy can lawfully end, New York advance notice can be 30, 60, or 90 days depending on the tenant's occupancy and lease term; Good Cause Eviction and rent regulation can also limit nonrenewal. At a sale, the security deposit must be transferred to the new owner within five days or returned to the tenant with the required notice.

New York real estate transfer taxes

The New York State real estate transfer tax is $2 for each $500 of the sale price, or part of $500, when the price exceeds $500. That is $400 on a $100,000 sale before any local tax or exemption. 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. Include your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes when comparing what you would keep.

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. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.
