From the first conversation to settlement

The sale, step by step

Step 1: Tell us about the house
Start with the Glens Falls address, the condition, who is living there, access, and the timing you are considering. Tell us what you know about an estate, payoff, lien, back taxes, tenant, or notice. You can start the conversation before every property question is settled.
Step 2: Talk through the property and your choices
We ask about the house as it stands, including condition, repairs, access, occupancy, and timing. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We talk through the sale choices that fit the property and what still needs to be checked.
Step 3: Read the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific conditions before you decide whether to proceed.
Step 4: Work through title, authority, and payoffs
The title company checks ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for closing. A payoff is the amount needed to satisfy a mortgage or other obligation. If a record, estate paper, or payoff is still unclear, you can begin with what you know while the right documents are identified.
Step 5: Review the settlement sheet and close
The settlement sheet shows how the sale money breaks down. We always review the settlement sheet with the seller and walk through how the money breaks down so there is no confusion. We try to do that the day before closing so settlement is smooth; the title company confirms the final numbers. If you proceed, the title company handles the closing papers and confirms the final settlement figures.

You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.

Two ways to sell to us

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.

Closing numbers

Read the settlement figures

The settlement sheet shows the sale price, mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, other listed charges, and the amount scheduled for disbursement. We always review the settlement sheet with the seller and walk through how the money breaks down so there is no confusion. We try to do that the day before closing so settlement is smooth; the title company confirms the final numbers.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.

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. The title company can show the figures that apply to your settlement. See New York State's real estate transfer tax information ↗

This closing-cost promise does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes. Those are separate settlement items.

When things get difficult

We keep working through the bumps

It's real estate. Sometimes there are bumps in the road. We won't disappear when that happens, and we'll be fighting to get this to the closing table.
