A Cash Offer is direct: USA Home Buyers buys directly, with a listed term of 30 days or less and a lower price. EZ Sale goes to one of our partners, with a listed term of 60 days or less and a higher price than the Cash Offer. Both are listed with no repairs, no commissions, and no closing costs. Compare the written numbers and responsibilities for the actual house before choosing.

There is no one net amount for every house. Net proceeds are what remains after the sale costs and property balances that apply to your house. Compare more than the sale price: repairs, commissions, concessions, cleanout, carrying costs, mortgage payoff, and liens can change what you keep.

A sale may still be possible before the foreclosure auction if the mortgage payoff and other closing obligations can be covered. New York foreclosures go through court, and a referee conducts the sale. After the auction, there is no right to buy the house back. 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. Stopping the foreclosure by paying the lender requires the full amount owed, including applicable interest, fees, and costs. Selling first may help protect any equity you have. Our agreement of sale will often get a foreclosure sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think. The agreement does not change the deadlines in your lender or court papers.

Often, yes. An executor or administrator appointed by Surrogate’s Court—the New York court that handles estates—can generally sell estate property during administration, subject to the will and court restrictions. If the will specifically leaves the house to one person, the sale usually needs that person’s agreement or a court order. Some court papers bar a sale without approval, and a release showing New York State has cleared its estate-tax claim on the property is generally needed to close. Being named executor in a will is not the same as being appointed by the court. A valid transfer-on-death deed may let a house pass outside probate. The deed and estate papers determine who can sign. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.

Yes. An ordinary sale generally leaves the existing lease and tenant protections in place, and the buyer becomes the landlord; a tenant does not have to move just because the house sells. If a tenancy can lawfully end, advance notice can be 30, 60, or 90 days depending on the tenant’s occupancy and lease term. Rent regulation and Good Cause Eviction can also limit nonrenewal. At a sale, the security deposit must be transferred to the new owner within five days or returned to the tenant, with the required notice. Bring the lease, deposit records, and notices to closing.

A sale may be possible, but the notices, court orders, and local requirements matter. An as-is agreement does not by itself resolve those orders. Share the notices so the buyer and closing professional can work through the repairs and deadlines. When you sell to us, we are the buyer, so the repairs become our job.

You can start the conversation, but a notice or tax bill does not by itself show the final amount due at closing. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate from the closing costs we pay. The actual account and property records need to be checked for the house.

Start with the property address, what you know about its condition, who lives there, and your timing. A deed, lease, estate appointment, tax bill, payoff statement, lien notice, Town notice, or court paper may help answer the next question, but you can call before you have every document or every answer.
