Selling a Sidney house when something has made it harder
Foreclosure
Our agreement of sale will often get a foreclosure sale postponed so we can close. It doesn't always work, but 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.
If you still have a mortgage, your lender may have a say in how that check is used — we'll walk through it with you.
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.

New York selling costs: the real estate transfer tax
New York State's real estate transfer tax is $2 for each $500 of the 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 the state 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. Read the New York State transfer-tax rules →
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. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Questions about selling a house in Sidney
Can I sell my Sidney house without fixing it first?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
What transfer taxes apply to a New York home sale?
New York State real estate transfer tax is $2 for each $500 of the sale price, or part of $500, when the price exceeds $500. The seller normally pays this base tax, though 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.
Who handles permits or violation questions for a Sidney property?
The Village of Sidney Code Enforcement office handles building-permit applications, construction inspections, violations, stop-work orders, and floodplain permitting.
What if a foreclosure sale is scheduled?
New York foreclosures go through court, and a referee conducts the sale. A sale may still be possible before the foreclosure auction if the mortgage payoff and other closing obligations can be covered. If you live there 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. Our agreement of sale will often get a foreclosure sale postponed so we can close. It doesn't always work, but it works more often than people think.
