Sell Your House Fast in Fulton, NY. Older Houses, Rentals and Estates, on Either Side of the River.

We start from what the house would likely sell for once repaired, based on recent sales of similar houses nearby, then subtract the cost of the work it needs and our costs to hold and resell it. What's left is the number we bring you. Getting an offer costs nothing, and you're under no obligation to accept it.

In New York it's standard for the seller to have a real estate attorney who reviews the contract and represents them at closing, and we encourage it for a cash sale too. Your attorney works for you, not for us. Our New York page explains how a sale generally runs in the state.

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. Our New York page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.

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 Fulton: state rate $4.00 per $1,000 (0.40%), subject to the purchase agreement.

Yes, across the city and Oswego County: the historic block around West Broadway, both banks of the Oswego River, and the towns beyond it. Location changes the price we can offer more than it changes whether we look at the house; the exception is a mobile or manufactured home that doesn't come with its own land, which our other FAQ covers.

Yes. We price the damage into the offer, so you don't need to repair or clear out damaged rooms first. If an insurance claim is still open, mention it on the first call so it can be written into the agreement before you sign.

Yes. A sale doesn't end a lease on its own. The lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, us or the buyer named in the agreement, depending on its own terms, and your tenants keep their rights under New York law. Send us the rent and lease details with the address, and let your attorney confirm what applies to your unit.

Only together with the land. If you own a manufactured home and the lot it sits on, in Fulton or elsewhere in Oswego County, we can make one offer on both. We don't buy a mobile home that sits in a park or on a rented lot.

Yes. Take what you want and leave the rest; the agreement can spell out what stays. You don't need to clear the basement, the attic or the garage before closing, and you can sign from wherever you've since moved.

It depends on the house. If yours is updated, in good repair and you're not up against a deadline, listing with a local agent may well net you more than any cash offer, ours included. A cash sale tends to make more sense for a house that needs work, an estate, a rental with tenants, or a timeline a traditional sale can't match. Put an agent's realistic price, minus commission and repairs, next to our written offer and compare the two.

iBuyers mostly look for newer houses in good condition and take repair costs off the price after their own inspection. We also buy older houses, damaged houses and rentals with tenants in place, and you see the number in writing before you sign anything.

Homeowners in 43 states, New York included, can request a written cash offer from Eagle Cash Buyers, LLC. We're BBB accredited and hold 4.5 stars from 40 Google reviews, not all of them five stars. We either buy the house ourselves or assign the contract to a partner investor, and the agreement discloses that right before you sign.
