From first conversation to settlement
The sale, step by step
Tell us about the house
Start with the Hudson property address, its condition, who lives there, access, and the timing you have in mind. Tell us what you know about a payoff, lien, estate, tenant, or notice. You can start the conversation before every property question is settled.
Talk through the property
We talk about the house as it sits, including repairs, occupancy, access, ownership, and timing. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Then we can compare the sale choices with you.
Read the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific conditions before you decide whether to proceed.
Work through title and payoffs
The title company checks the deed, ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the documents needed for settlement. A payoff is the amount needed to satisfy a mortgage or other obligation; a lien is a recorded claim for money against the property. Share current statements or notices when you have them.
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. 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.

Hudson and Columbia County details
Check the record with the right local office
Hudson is Columbia County's county seat, but the city and county maintain separate tax, assessment, code, and recording offices. A Hudson mailing address does not by itself tell you whether a parcel is inside the City of Hudson. For tax records, check the office and parcel boundary that fit the property; the title company reviews what applies to the sale.
Columbia County Tax Database ↗
The county database treats City of Hudson parcels separately from its county database.
Closing numbers
Understand the settlement figures and transfer taxes
The settlement sheet shows the sale price, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, other listed charges, and the amount scheduled for disbursement. Ask the title company about any line you do not recognize; it confirms the final numbers.
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, but the sale agreement can provide otherwise; applicable 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.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
That does not pay your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
