Sell Your House Fast in Buffalo, NY. Two-Family or Inherited, Your Date.

We usually send a written cash offer within one business day of receiving the information we need, if the numbers work. Some houses need more research, photos or a walkthrough before the offer can be finalized. There is no obligation to accept it.

Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time. You pick the date. The timeline depends on the title work, any payoffs and the closing provider.

In New York the closing is handled by an attorney or title company, as in any sale. They run the title search, arrange the payoffs and prepare the settlement statement. You can sign in person or remotely.

We pay the closing costs on a sale to us, except your share of any transfer tax, and the purchase agreement sets this out. Eagle does not charge you an agent commission on a direct sale to us. Your mortgage payoff and any liens, delinquent taxes, HOA or association balances, agreed prorations and other seller obligations are deducted from your proceeds when applicable. The closing professional provides a settlement statement showing the charges and credits before closing. Transfer, deed, conveyance or similar taxes vary by state and locality. For a sale in Buffalo: state rate $4.00 per $1,000 (0.40%), subject to the purchase agreement.

We can buy a house in any condition when the numbers work, and the offer reflects the repairs it needs. Whether we make an offer depends on the area, the value and whether the numbers work, not on the condition alone. You do not need to fix anything first.

We can, when the numbers work. Fire, flood and burst-pipe damage lower what the house can sell for, and the offer reflects that. Tell us what happened, whether an insurance claim is open, and send photos if you have them.

We buy mobile homes only when they are sold together with the land they sit on. If you own the land and the home together, send the address and we can review it.

You can usually sell with a tenant in place. A lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, and what happens to it depends on the lease terms and the contract. Send us a copy of the lease and the rent details, and we can usually tell you how it affects the offer.

Often, yes. Delinquent property taxes and many recorded liens can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing, provided there is enough equity and the required payoff or release can be obtained. The title search or other closing review will identify items that must be paid, released or otherwise resolved. A disputed lien, an unavailable payoff or debts exceeding the available proceeds can delay or prevent closing unless the issue is resolved or the creditor agrees to another arrangement. Tell us what you know upfront so the closing professional can investigate it early.

It depends on how title was held and New York law. Property held in the deceased owner's name alone may require probate or another estate procedure before anyone has authority to sign a deed. Property held in a trust or with survivorship rights may pass outside probate. A probate or estate attorney licensed in New York should confirm who has authority and which procedure applies. We can evaluate the property and make an offer while that is being established, but we cannot close until someone has legal authority to sign.

Selling a property as-is does not automatically eliminate disclosure obligations under applicable federal, state or local law. Tell us what you know about the roof, plumbing, electrical system, foundation, environmental conditions and any past damage or repairs so we can evaluate the property accurately and address known issues in writing before you sign. New York sellers commonly complete a Property Condition Disclosure Statement, which may apply to your sale. A real estate attorney licensed in New York can confirm which disclosures apply.

A sale may help avoid a foreclosure sale if it closes in time and the proceeds are enough to satisfy the required payoff, or if the lender gives written approval to accept less. In New York, a foreclosure generally goes through the court. We cannot promise to stop or postpone a foreclosure; that depends on the lender or servicer, the court, the timing and whether the transaction closes. Contact us as early as possible and bring every notice you have so we can usually tell you whether our expected timeline appears workable. A HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney licensed in New York can explain your legal options and deadlines. At Eagle, we can help only if there are at least 3 weeks before the auction date and you can send paperwork quickly and help the attorney or title company close fast. Our New York page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.

Eagle may purchase the property itself or, if the purchase agreement permits, assign its contractual rights to another investor or purchasing entity. Any assignment right is stated in the agreement before you sign. The agreement also states the price, closing date or timeline, contingencies and other material terms. The closing is handled by the attorney or title company used for the transaction.

At Eagle, our policy is to have everyone on the deed and every decision maker on the call when we present the offer, so they can decide together whether to move forward. A spouse, relative or attorney can make the first contact for you.

Two things decide this: whether you have the time to wait a sale out, and whether you have the money to put the house right first. Where you have both, listing with a good local agent may bring a higher price, and we can usually say so. Where one is missing, a cash sale can be the better fit.
