From first conversation to settlement

The Plattsburgh sale, step by step

1. Tell us what is going on with the house
Share the address, condition, who lives there, access, and timing you have in mind. Tell us about repairs, an estate, tenants, a payoff, liens, taxes, or a notice if any of those are part of the situation. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Unknown details can stay unknown while the conversation gets started.
2. Talk through the property and the offer
We talk through the house as it sits, including condition, access, occupancy, and the timing you are considering. We put the cash offer in writing so you have a number to review, rather than a verbal figure to rely on. We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
3. Read the written terms before deciding
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the price, responsibilities, possession, timing, costs, and property-specific conditions. Ask questions, compare another path, or stop before signing.
4. Work through title, authority, and payoffs
The title company reviews the deed, ownership, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, taxes, and the papers needed for settlement. Estate authority, a payoff balance, a lien, or a tenant situation can affect the documents and planning; bring the notices and statements you have so the right questions can be addressed.
5. Review the figures and close
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.

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.

Useful local details

Plattsburgh and Clinton County records

Use the property address when looking for a local record. The Clinton County Clerk covers county clerk records and document recording; the County Real Property Office and parcel search are local starting points for property and assessment information. The City of Plattsburgh Assessor handles assessment information for property in the city. A record search is separate from the title company's review of what this sale needs.

If the sale involves an inherited house, foreclosure notice, tenant, code issue, fire damage, or property lien, start with the page for that situation and share the paperwork you have with the title company as the sale moves forward.

Settlement figures and closing costs

See what comes out of the sale proceeds

The settlement sheet shows the sale price, mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, costs, and the amount scheduled for disbursement. Ask about any line you do not recognize. 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.

New York State real estate transfer tax is $2 for each $500 of sale price, or part of $500, when the price exceeds $500. Local transfer taxes may add to it. A separate 1% mansion tax generally applies to residential sales of $1 million or more and is normally paid by the buyer. Read New York State's real estate transfer-tax information ↗

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

That closing-cost promise does not pay your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes; those are separate settlement figures when they apply.

When the process gets difficult

We stay with the process

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.
