What happens next
1. We talk about the house and tenancy
Start with what you know. We can talk through the house, lease, who lives there, access, repairs, deposits, notices, and the timing you have in mind.
2. We give you a written offer to review
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. We put the offer and terms in writing before you commit. If you choose to sell, the closing goes through a title company. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
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. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs we pay.
3. We talk through the tenant handoff
Before closing, we discuss the lease, occupancy, deposits, notices, and the tenant handoff with you.
