New York seller rule
For a New York taxable transfer with a price above $500, the state real estate transfer tax is $2 for each $500 of sale price, or part of $500. 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.
This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes. Ask the title or closing company to show any local tax, exemption, and transaction-specific figures in the written closing details.

Here's what sellers across Pennsylvania have said about working with us.
“We'd been in our Wesleyville place for thirty-one years. Raised three kids there. But the property taxes were $4,200 a year and the house had more rooms than we'd ever use again. USA Home Buyers gave us a clean, quick exit. Closed in nine days. We had our equity check before Christmas.”
“Lawrence Park house, divorce, court order to sell. We hadn't spoken in months except through lawyers. USA Home Buyers sent one offer — we both said yes, separately, through our attorneys — and closed in fourteen days. Didn't have to share a room with my ex once.”
“I was behind on my mortgage with a sheriff sale looming. I didn't realize I still had equity or that I had options. USA Home Buyers explained everything clearly, the offer was fair, and we closed in 9 days — the foreclosure was dismissed at closing.”
