Questions About Selling a House in Glens Falls, NY

Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what condition the house is in and what you know about access or occupancy. Read more about houses with code or repair questions in Glens Falls.

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. A Cash Offer is a direct purchase by USA Home Buyers: 30 days or less, at a lower price. EZ Sale goes to one of our partners: 60 days or less, at a higher price than the Cash Offer. Both have no repairs, no commissions, and no closing costs. Compare the Cash Offer and EZ Sale terms in the table below.

Compare what remains after the costs attached to each path, not only the sale price. Repairs, selling costs, cleanout, carrying costs, mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes can affect the amount you keep. Use your own assumptions in the Glens Falls net proceeds calculator and compare the written numbers for your 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. Check the property-specific figures with the closing company. See the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance transfer-tax guidance.

We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read how the Glens Falls sale process works and compare the written terms for your house.

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. 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 the foreclosure by paying the lender requires the full amount owed, including applicable interest, fees, and costs. After the auction, there is no right to buy the house back. 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. The postponement request does not change the legal deadlines in your notices or court papers. For the state process, see New York Courts’ foreclosure-judgment guidance and Real Property Law § 265-a. For Glens Falls details, see New York foreclosure sale questions.
