Tell us about the house
Call or fill out the form. A few basics about the property and your timeline.
We walk through it once
One visit, at a time that works for you. No open houses, no strangers poking around.
Get a written offer
A real number, in writing, with the math explained. No pressure to say yes.
Close on your date
Attorneys handle the closing. You get paid at the closing table.
What we'll ask you
The address, roughly what condition it's in, whether anyone's living there, and when you'd like to be done. That's enough to get started.
The walkthrough
We come out once. We'll look at the roof, the mechanicals, the basement, and anything you tell us about. You don't need to clean or prep anything.
The offer
You get the number in writing, and we'll show you how we got there: what we think the house is worth fixed up, what we expect to spend on it, and what's left. If the number doesn't work for you, no hard feelings.
The closing
In New York, both sides typically have an attorney. Ours orders title, yours reviews the contract, and the closing gets scheduled for the date you picked. The mortgage and any liens are paid off from the sale, and you receive the rest.
Questions
How do you come up with your offer?
We look at what the house would sell for once it's fixed up, subtract what the repairs will actually cost, and leave room for our holding and resale costs. We'll walk you through the numbers so you can see how we got there.
Are there fees or commissions?
No commissions. We cover our own closing costs. You'll pay your own attorney and any payoffs on the house (like your mortgage), the same as any sale. [CONFIRM which costs you cover]
How fast can you close?
In New York, both sides usually use an attorney, and title work takes time. Many closings happen in two to four weeks. If you need longer, we'll wait.
Do I have to move out on closing day?
Not necessarily. We can build extra time into the contract.
Am I obligated if I ask for an offer?
No. Getting an offer costs nothing and you can say no.
Should I just list with a realtor instead?
Sometimes, yes. If your house is in good shape and you aren't in a hurry, listing may get you more money. We'll tell you if we think that's the case.
