Question 1

Will you lowball me on my house?

Accepted Answer

No. Our reputation depends on making fair offers — that's why we have a 4.8-star Google rating and A+ BBB rating. We base our offers on current market data, the condition of your property, and comparable sales in your area. We're transparent about how we calculate our number, and there's never any pressure to accept.

Question 2

What condition does my house need to be in?

Accepted Answer

Any condition. Literally. Roof damage, foundation issues, mold, fire damage, hoarding situations, outdated everything — we've seen it all and we buy it all. You don't need to clean, repair, or even remove your belongings. We handle everything after closing.

Question 3

How fast can you actually close?

Accepted Answer

We can close in as little as 7 days if needed. Because we pay cash, there's no waiting on bank approvals, appraisals, or buyer financing. That said, we close on YOUR timeline — if you need 30 or 60 days, that works too. You're in control.

Question 4

Are there any fees or commissions?

Accepted Answer

Zero. None. We don't charge commissions, closing costs, or hidden fees of any kind. The offer we give you is the amount you walk away with. We even cover standard closing costs.

Question 5

Am I obligated to accept your offer?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. Our offers are completely no-obligation. If you don't like the number, just say no — no hard feelings, no pressure, no follow-up harassment.

Question 6

How is this different from other 'We Buy Houses' companies?

Accepted Answer

We're a locally owned business, not a franchise or national chain. When you call us, you talk to Rich — the owner — not a call center. We've been serving New York and Connecticut since 2015, we're BBB A+ accredited, and our 4.8-star Google reviews speak for themselves.

Question 7

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We buy houses throughout New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Rhode Island, with a focus on the greater Westchester County area including Larchmont, New Rochelle, Yonkers, White Plains, and surrounding communities.
