Avoid repairs, contractors, and showings

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

You do not have to coordinate repair work, line up contractors, or prepare the house for public showings before you ask us about a direct sale. That gives you one less set of decisions to divide while you work through the price and the property paperwork.

Who can sign? Start with the deed and court papers

The recorded deed is the starting point for seeing whose names are on the Buffalo property. Marriage, separation, or living at the house does not by itself answer which signatures a sale needs.

New York automatic orders can restrict a spouse from transferring property while a divorce case is underway. A written agreement or a case-specific court order may also affect what can happen with the house. Have a New York divorce attorney explain the papers that apply to you; the title company checks the deed, applicable orders, and required signatures for closing. You can talk with us while those questions are being reviewed.

Bring us the problem before every disagreement is settled

Different schedules, disagreement about repairs, a house that is difficult to show, or questions about a court order? Tell us what is happening with the Buffalo house. You do not have to settle every issue before you talk with us.

Call 888-274-5006 or use the form above to start with the address and what you know.

What happens next

Start with the house and the practical issue in front of you. You can review the written offer and terms before deciding whether to move forward.

  1. 1. Tell us about the house

    Share the Buffalo address, condition, occupancy, access, timing, and what is making the sale difficult. If you have the deed or court papers nearby, those can help the title team review the signing questions. Start with what you know.

  2. 2. Review the written offer and terms

    We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.

  3. 3. Confirm the closing details

    The title company checks the deed, any applicable court papers, title matters, and the signatures needed for this sale. You review the settlement figures with the closing team. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.

    This does not include your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes; those are separate settlement items.

Signing from another location

You can sign separately; we can send a notary to each of you.

Sell from anywhere in the country — we can send a notary to you, and you don't have to attend settlement or even visit the property.

Buffalo and Erie County records, plus New York guidance

Buffalo is in Erie County. Use the Erie County Clerk for county record questions, and use New York's court and statute pages for state divorce information. The title company can tell you which documents it needs for the specific property.

Compare what you would keep

A sale price is not the same as the amount left after the mortgage payoff, taxes, repairs, and other costs. Put your own assumptions into the Buffalo home-sale net proceeds calculator to compare possible sale paths.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers

Here's what sellers have said about working with us.

“Monroe County family court, sale required. Park Avenue condo, beautiful neighborhood, but neither of us could buy out the other and we both needed the money to start over. USA Home Buyers gave us a written offer the same week we called. Both attorneys said yes, closed in thirteen days.”
Angela and Paul D.Park Avenue, Rochester NYJune 2025
“I was behind on my mortgage after a medical situation. New York judicial foreclosure takes 12-24 months, but once the bank files in Monroe County Supreme Court, your options narrow fast. USA Home Buyers explained exactly where I stood and closed before the foreclosure judgment. I walked out with enough to start over.”
Diana W.South Wedge, Rochester NYFebruary 2026
“Lake Ontario flooding in the spring got into our basement on Lakeshore Boulevard twice. The second time killed the furnace and HVAC and left six inches of standing water. Our insurer totaled the contents but fought the structural claim. USA Home Buyers knew Charlotte's flood situation well — no surprises in the offer, no inspection drama. Closed in ten days.”
Eileen M.Charlotte, Rochester NYMay 2025
