The short answer
Start with the property address, condition, access, occupancy, ownership, payoff, and the date that matters. We review the house as-is and give you written terms before you commit. Compare that number with repairs, cleanout, showings, commissions, carrying costs, and the time a listing may take.
Compare the choices
A listing may fit when the house is ready to show and you have time for preparation and buyer visits. What you keep depends on repairs, cleanout, photos, showings, inspection requests, commissions, concessions, insurance, utilities, taxes, and how long you carry the property—not just the asking price.
We review title, payoff, who lives there, and who can sign with you before closing. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. With a Cash Offer, there are no listing-agent showings, and no agent commissions when you sell to us. EZ Sale goes to a partner and includes partner visits. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
Cash Offer is the direct purchase; EZ Sale goes to one of our partners. Compare the written numbers, timing, and costs with a listing plan and the amount you would keep. You decide which terms fit the property.
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.

Use the Poughkeepsie home-sale net-proceeds calculator to compare a listing estimate with costs and what you might keep. Change the assumptions to fit the house; the calculator is an estimate, not a property-specific settlement figure.
Local property context
The City's plan describes the Union Street area as a mix of narrow-lot single-family homes, duplexes, and apartment buildings. We look at a property's condition and occupancy directly.
The City requires operators of its defined Short-Term Vacation Rental or Home Sharing Short-Term Rental categories to apply for a permit. If you sell a property in one of those categories, we can consider its current use, occupancy, and known permit details along with its condition.

Paperwork, taxes, and deadlines
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. The title company reviews recorded ownership and settlement details for the property.
New York State real estate transfer tax is $2 for each $500 of sale price, or part of $500, when the price exceeds $500. On a $100,000 sale, that is $400 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.
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. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.

The title company reviews recorded ownership and any estate, trust, or court papers, then identifies the signatures needed for closing. We coordinate with the people involved and the title company on the closing documents. If authority is unclear or disputed, get advice from a New York attorney before signing.
For an inherited house, start with the estate papers and the people authorized to act; the Poughkeepsie inherited-property guide has more steps.
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 there 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 the foreclosure by paying the lender requires the full amount owed, including applicable interest, fees, and costs.
