Batavia, NY illustrative estimate
Batavia home sale calculator: what you'd actually put in your pocket
The sale price is only the starting point. What matters is what you keep after your payoff, repairs, fees, and other costs come out. That's your net proceeds.
The home value starts with Zillow’s typical value for the area. Your house may be worth more or less. You can change the value and every cost below. Adjust anything you know, including your payoff, repair or credit risk, cleanout cost, agent commission, and how long you expect to carry the property.

The state tax is $2 for each $500, or part of $500, when the price exceeds $500. Local taxes and additional New York City taxes are not included; the buyer’s mansion tax is separate. Exemptions and the sale agreement may change the amount or who pays.
See what you'd actually walk away with.
Your starting home-value estimate may come from a public source when one is available. You can edit that estimate and each cost input above; your property's actual value and closing costs may differ.
Choose the condition that best fits your home, then update the value, mortgage payoff, and cost inputs with what you know. This estimate uses the tax rate and calculation shown above. Your percentage replaces it. Local taxes, exemptions and the property’s taxable value can change the final amount.
Three simple steps
1
Tell us about your house
Share the address, what needs work and who lives there. Tell us when we can see it and when you want to sell.
2
Get your offer
3
Close
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
Your situation matters
Choose the question closest to yours to see the options for a Batavia house.
Foreclosure
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.
Fire damage
You keep the insurance money and don't have to worry about the house anymore — we'll take care of it.
Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
Liens and back taxes
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
Tenants
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Code violations
The fines don't stop while you think about it. They pile up, they add new ones, and every month takes another bite out of what the property is worth to you. We can buy it quickly, violations and all, so you stop the bleeding and keep your equity.
Divorce
You only have to agree on one thing — the price. After that we handle the rest, so there's nothing to argue about over repairs, contractors, showings, or who pays for what.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
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.

Questions about selling a house in Batavia
Do you buy houses as-is in Batavia and Genesee County?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what you know about the house and its condition.
How soon will I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
What New York transfer tax applies to a Batavia home sale?
New York State charges $2 for each $500 of 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. Local transfer taxes may add to it. 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.
Will signing an agreement automatically postpone a foreclosure sale?
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.
Can I sell a fire-damaged house and keep the insurance proceeds?
We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris — and you keep your insurance proceeds. Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
What should I do with an open City property notice?
Keep the notice and its deadline with the property records. Contact the City department listed for that issue, ask what applies to the exact property, and share the notice during the house review.
Can you review a tenant-occupied house?
Yes. Tell us the lease status, access limits, and any notices already involved so those facts can be reviewed with the property. An offer does not promise an eviction or a particular possession result.
What if the house is part of an estate?
Yes. We can review an inherited house as-is. In New York, an executor or administrator appointed by the Surrogate’s Court can generally sell estate property during administration, subject to the will and any court restrictions.
