Frequently Asked Questions
What areas of NYC do you buy houses in?
We buy residential, multi-family, mixed-use, and commercial properties in every neighborhood across the five boroughs of New York City.
We are active cash buyers in neighborhoods throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island. This includes, but is not limited to: Harlem, Washington Heights, Williamsburg, Park Slope, Astoria, Flushing, Jamaica, Forest Hills, Riverdale, and St. George.
No matter the zoning classification—including R4-R10, C1, C2, C4, C8, or mixed-use designations—we purchase properties quickly in their as-is condition for a fair, no-obligation cash price.
Why should I sell my house to ISell My House Fast NYC
We are a direct real estate solutions firm with a deep, block-by-block understanding of the New York City market. We are not a faceless national franchise or an out-of-state investor.
Our team’s insider knowledge of NYC’s unique real estate landscape allows us to provide solutions that larger corporations cannot. Homeowners choose us because we are transparent, efficient, and relentlessly focused on keeping our promises. You will get a straightforward, no-surprises experience from start to finish, because your peace of mind is our priority.
How quickly can I get a cash offer for my home in NYC?
You will receive a fair, no-obligation cash offer from us within 24 hours of reviewing your property information.
We provide a personalized evaluation for every NYC property, taking into account its specific condition, location, and the latest market data to ensure your offer is accurate and competitive.
How fast can you close after I accept an offer?
We can close in as little as 7-10 days, or we can schedule the closing date to perfectly align with your moving timeline and needs.
Because we are using our own capital, we bypass the delays of traditional bank financing, appraisals, and mortgage underwriting. This gives you complete control over the timeline.
Do I have to pay closing costs, commissions, or hidden fees?
Absolutely not. When you sell your house directly to us, you pay $0 in fees. There are no real estate commissions, no closing costs, and no hidden charges.
We cover all expenses associated with the sale, including title insurance, transfer taxes, and attorney fees. The final, net cash amount we offer you is the exact amount you will receive at the closing table.
What’s the difference between you and a real estate agent?
Agents list your house and hope for a buyer. We buy your house directly—no showings, no staging, no repairs, and no 5–6% agent commissions.
Our offers are all-cash, and we can close in as little as 7–10 days—not months. You won’t need to clean, make repairs, or pay any fees.
| Sell My House Fast NYC | Traditional Realtor |
|---|---|
| Cash in 24 hours | Wait for buyer offers |
| Close in 10 days | Often 60+ days |
| No repairs, commissions or fees | 6% agent commission |
| Sell as-is | Must repair and stage |
Do you inspect the property?
No, we do not conduct traditional, invasive home inspections that create contingencies and delays. Unlike a typical sale, there are no third-party inspectors, lengthy reports, or repair requests from us.
We will schedule a brief, respectful walk-through to confirm the property’s general layout and condition. This allows us to provide a firm, fair offer.
Most importantly, you will never be asked to make a single repair. We buy every NYC property as-is. Any needed repairs, cleaning, or renovations become our responsibility after the sale is final.
What do you mean by "Cash"?
When we say “cash,” we mean we are using our own private funds to purchase your property directly. This means no bank mortgages, no loan approvals, and no waiting on a lender.
This is the core reason we can provide a firm offer within 24 hours and close in as little as 7-10 days. You are shielded from the common sale-killers like financing fall-throughs, low appraisals, and underwriting delays. Our cash is real, committed, and ready.
What do you mean by "As-Is"?
“As-is” means you sell your property in its exact current condition.
This is our promise: no repairs, no cleaning, no painting, no decluttering, and no updates are required. We take on every issue—from normal wear-and-tear to significant damage—after the closing. What you see is what we buy.
Can I sell my house if I inherited it or it’s in probate?
Absolutely. We regularly help New Yorkers navigate the sale of inherited properties and estates, including those going through the probate process.
Even if the title is still being settled or you are working with an estate attorney, we can provide immediate clarity and a guaranteed purchase. We have the experience to guide you through the legal steps for a quick and efficient sale.
What if my NYC house is in poor condition, vacant, or has code violations?
We actively purchase NYC properties in any situation. It does not matter if the building has been vacant for years, has severe damage from fire or water, or has open violations with the NYC Department of Buildings.
We specialize in buying distressed and challenging properties. You can walk away without spending a dime or a minute on repairs, cleaning, or resolving city violations.
Can I sell my house in NYC if it still has tenants?
Yes, we purchase tenant-occupied properties throughout New York City.
Whether your tenants are paying rent, are in arrears, or you are in the middle of eviction proceedings, we can move forward with the purchase. We acquire occupied rentals, multi-family homes, and apartment buildings as-is. You do not need to handle evictions or difficult tenant situations—we take on that responsibility after closing.
