Selling a Ticonderoga house in a difficult situation
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.

Ticonderoga selling costs: New York transfer tax
New York State's real estate transfer tax is $2 for each $500 of sale price, or part of $500, when the price exceeds $500. That is $400 on a $100,000 sale 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. 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. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.
