What can affect closing in New York
A sale may be possible, but the notices, court orders, and local requirements matter. New York Executive Law §382 allows a municipality to order building-code violations repaired, and a court can order a dangerous condition corrected or a building removed. An as-is agreement does not by itself resolve those orders. Share the notices with us so the buyer and closing professional can work through repairs and deadlines. Read New York Executive Law §382.
When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
An existing order, court case, or deadline is not automatically cleared by an as-is sale; those details still need to be reviewed.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Paychex offered me a position at their Scottsdale office and I had five weeks. My house in Irondequoit was fine but I couldn't do open houses and wait on financing. USA Home Buyers closed nine days after I accepted. I was in Arizona before my start date.”
“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.”
“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.”
