Do you inspect the property?
We do not conduct traditional home inspections or include inspection contingencies like typical buyers. There are no third-party inspectors, lengthy reports, or repair requests.
Instead, we perform a quick, respectful walk-through to assess the property’s overall condition and estimate any potential renovation needs.
No matter what we find, you will never be asked to make repairs. We buy Staten Island homes as-is, and any necessary repairs or clean-up are our responsibility after closing.
What do you mean by “cash”?
When we say “cash,” we mean we use our own funds to buy your Staten Island property directly—no banks, no loans, and no waiting for mortgage approvals.
That’s why we can make same-day offers and close in as little as 7–10 days. You won’t have to worry about financing contingencies, underwriting delays, or appraisal issues that can slow or derail a sale. When we say cash, we mean real money—from us straight to you.
What do you mean by "As-Is"
“As-is” means you can sell your Staten Island property in its exact current condition.
No repairs, cleaning, updates, junk removal, or hauling are required. We handle everything—regardless of the property’s condition—after closing, so you don’t have to lift a finger.
Can I sell my house if I inherited it or it’s in probate?
Yes, we regularly help homeowners in Staten Island sell inherited properties, estate homes, and houses going through probate.
Even if the title hasn’t formally transferred or you’re working with an attorney, we can guide you through the process and purchase your inherited property quickly and efficiently.
What if my Staten Island house is in poor condition, vacant, or has code violations?
We buy Staten Island properties in any condition. It doesn’t matter if your home has been vacant for years, has significant damage, or has open violations from the NYC Department of Buildings.
We specialize in purchasing distressed properties directly from homeowners. You won’t need to clean, make repairs, or fix violations before selling—we handle it all after closing.
Can I sell my house in Staten Island if it still has tenants?
Yes, we purchase homes with tenants in place.
Whether your tenants are current on rent, behind on payments, or involved in eviction proceedings, we can still buy the property. We acquire occupied rentals, multi-family homes, duplexes, and apartment buildings throughout Staten Island. You won’t need to handle evictions or tenant disputes—we manage everything after the sale is complete.
