We Buy Houses on Long Island

Long Island, from the Queens line through Suffolk, is our second biggest market after Queens. We buy across Nassau and Suffolk. Hempstead, Levittown, Garden City, Manhasset, Great Neck, the Five Towns, Smithtown, Huntington, and dozens of smaller villages and hamlets in between.

The seller situations on Long Island skew differently than the city. We see more tired landlords with single-family rentals that have stopped paying off. We see more retirees ready to downsize but who don’t want the disruption of an MLS listing while they’re still living in the house. We see more inherited properties from parents who bought in the postwar Levitt-era subdivisions and never moved. We see more divorces where the marital home needs to be sold quickly and cleanly.

We close on Long Island properties in seven to fourteen days. We pay all closing costs. We do not charge a fee. The number on the written offer is the number that hits your account at closing. If you need extra time to move out, you pick the date, thirty, sixty, ninety days are all fine.

Nick York is based in Great Neck and personally walks every Nassau and Suffolk property. He will give you a written offer within twenty-four hours of the walkthrough, and he will walk you through how we arrived at the number. If you decide to sell, your contract is at the title company within forty-eight hours.

These are the Long Island neighborhoods we have active offers in right now.

What houses are selling for right now

These figures come from current market data for the neighborhoods we buy in, updated quarterly. Condition drives everything: a house that needs work trades well below these numbers on the open market, which is exactly the gap our cash offers are built for.

Selling fast on Long Island, whatever the situation

Nassau County is our home turf and the situations repeat: the postwar Cape or ranch that has not been updated since the eighties and would get shredded in a financed buyer’s inspection, the inherited house where the heirs live out of state and the Surrogate’s Court paperwork is grinding along in probate, the downsizing couple done with stairs and yard work, the landlord finished with a rental and its tenants, and the owner watching Nassau’s high carrying costs eat a budget that no longer stretches. New York’s court run foreclosure process is slow, which means an owner who is behind almost always still has time to sell first and protect their equity. We close in as little as two weeks, we buy as is, and the offer math gets explained at your kitchen table.

Common questions from sellers here

How fast can you close on a Long Island house?

Seven to fourteen days is typical because we pay cash. Estate sales often need longer for the Surrogate paperwork, and that is fine. The date fits your situation.

Do I need to clean out the house before selling?

No. Take what matters to your family and leave the rest, furniture included. We handle the cleanout after closing. For longtime family homes this is usually the single biggest relief.

Property taxes are the reason I am selling. Does that hurt my offer?

No. Nassau carrying costs push plenty of good houses onto the market. The offer is built from the house itself, comparable sales, condition, and what it needs, not from why you are selling.
