Question 1

Do you buy houses as-is?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We buy houses in as-is condition — no repairs, renovations, or updates required before selling. We evaluate the property based on its current condition.

Question 2

What does selling as-is actually mean?

Accepted Answer

It means you sell the property in its present condition. You're not making repairs or improvements as a condition of the sale, and the buyer accepts the property's current state.

Question 3

Do I need to make repairs before selling?

Accepted Answer

No. You don't need to fix the roof, plumbing, electrical, foundation, or cosmetic issues before reaching out. We look at properties that need work.

Question 4

Do I need to clean out the house?

Accepted Answer

No. In many cases you can leave unwanted furniture, belongings, or other items behind. Let us know what's there and we can discuss how it's handled.

Question 5

Can I sell a house full of belongings or clutter?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A home full of belongings can still be sold. You often don't have to empty it before we take a look.

Question 6

Do you buy inherited homes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We work with families who have inherited properties throughout the Capital Region, whether the home needs repairs, is vacant, or you simply don't want to keep it.

Question 7

What if there are multiple heirs?

Accepted Answer

We can work with situations involving multiple heirs, though all parties with an ownership interest typically need to agree to the sale. We recommend involving an estate attorney for guidance.

Question 8

Do you buy rental properties?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We buy occupied and vacant rentals, including properties that have become difficult to manage.

Question 9

Can I sell a house with tenants?

Accepted Answer

Yes, depending on the circumstances. Tenant situations vary, so we review each one individually before discussing options.

Question 10

Do you buy vacant houses?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We buy homes that have been sitting empty, including properties that need significant repairs or have been vacant for an extended period.

Question 11

Can I sell a house with code violations?

Accepted Answer

Potentially. We evaluate properties with a range of issues, including open code violations. You don't necessarily have to correct every issue before speaking with us.

Question 12

Can I sell a house with liens or unpaid taxes?

Accepted Answer

Possibly. Liens and back taxes can sometimes be resolved as part of the selling process. Every situation is different, so we recommend contacting us to review the details.

Question 13

Do you buy houses in probate?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can work with sellers in probate situations. Depending on the circumstances, certain legal steps may need to be completed before the property can be sold. Consult an estate attorney for guidance.

Question 14

How quickly can you close?

Accepted Answer

The timeline depends on your situation and the property. If you need to sell quickly, we can discuss an accelerated closing. If you need more time, we can work with that too.

Question 15

Do I get to choose the closing date?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes. We work toward a closing schedule that fits your situation whenever possible.

Question 16

Are there commissions or fees?

Accepted Answer

Because you're selling directly to us rather than through a traditional listing, there's typically no real estate agent commission. There's no fee to request an offer.

Question 17

Am I obligated to accept your offer?

Accepted Answer

No. Requesting or receiving an offer creates no obligation. You're free to review it, ask questions, and decide what's best.

Question 18

How is your offer determined?

Accepted Answer

We consider the property's location, condition, estimated repair needs, and local market conditions to determine an offer that makes sense for the property.

Question 19

What happens after I contact you?

Accepted Answer

We ask for basic information about the property and your situation, then review the property, discuss your goals, and determine whether we can make an offer.

Question 20

Do I need a Realtor to sell to you?

Accepted Answer

No. We purchase directly from homeowners, so you don't need to list the property with an agent to sell to us.

Question 21

What types of houses do you buy?

Accepted Answer

We buy single-family homes, multifamily properties, rentals, inherited homes, vacant houses, and properties that need repairs or updating.

Question 22

What areas do you buy houses in?

Accepted Answer

We buy properties throughout Albany and New York's Capital Region, including Albany, Schenectady, Troy, Saratoga Springs, and surrounding communities.
