About the area

Why Kew Gardens sellers call us.

Kew Gardens is one of the most distinctive corners of Queens, a planned garden suburb from the early 1900s where brick and stucco Tudors sit on winding streets between Forest Park and the courthouse district. It is also one of the most misunderstood markets in the borough, because most of what trades here is co-op apartments, while the houses, the part we buy, behave like a separate market entirely. We have been buying houses in the NY metro area since 2000, and Kew Gardens sellers call us for a simple reason: a straight cash offer on a house that may not have been touched in fifty years, with no agents, no repairs, and no waiting on a mortgage approval. For background on the neighborhood, see this Kew Gardens community profile.

Nick York handles acquisitions for EZ Home Buyers, and Kew Gardens rewards patience and local knowledge. The neighborhood’s house stock is small, tightly held, and often passes between generations rather than across a broker’s desk. When one of these houses does need to sell quickly, the usual playbook of staging and open houses fits it badly. That is the gap we fill, with a written offer within 24 hours of a walkthrough and the flexibility to work around estates, tenants, and long distance owners.

Why Kew Gardens sellers call a cash home buyer first

The sellers we hear from in Kew Gardens are rarely testing the market. They are executors settling an estate, siblings who inherited a house none of them can use, and longtime owners facing a renovation bill that makes no sense at their stage of life. A financed buyer needs the house to appraise, pass inspection, and satisfy a lender’s checklist. A Kew Gardens Tudor with its original roof and a 1960s kitchen fails all three, which is why cash home buyers in Kew Gardens are so often the practical answer rather than the fallback. We make the offer, we take the condition risk, and the seller keeps the certainty.

The two markets of Kew Gardens

Look up a Kew Gardens median sale price and you will see a number that looks impossibly low for the neighborhood. That is because co-op apartments in buildings along Queens Boulevard and Union Turnpike make up most sales and pull the zip code median far below what any house trades for. The detached and semi-detached houses on streets like Mowbray Drive, Beverly Road, and Abingdon Road sell for several times the blended figure. When we make an offer we price your house against actual house sales, not against a median distorted by apartment stock, and we show you the comparable sales we used.

Estates, the Surrogate’s Court, and houses that time forgot

Kew Gardens sits next door to the borough’s legal machinery, from Queens Borough Hall to the courts on Sutphin Boulevard where estates are administered. It shapes the market in a real way: a meaningful share of Kew Gardens houses reach the market through probate, often after decades in one family. We buy these houses as they sit, furniture and all, and we are comfortable signing a contract that waits for letters testamentary. If you are an executor handling a house you inherited from out of state, we can be your eyes on the property and your buyer at the same time.

What Kew Gardens homes actually sell for

As of this summer, the median asking price across Kew Gardens’s 11415 zip code sits around $328,000, with homes averaging roughly 88 days on the market, and the median has moved -3% over the past six months. Treat that figure as a floor for houses rather than a target: apartment and co-op sales are blended into it, and actual houses in Kew Gardens regularly trade well above the zip wide number. When we make an offer we price your specific house against recent sales of houses like it, we put the comparables next to the number, and we explain every line. That is also why our offers hold up, because nothing in them depends on an appraiser agreeing later.

What we buy in Kew Gardens

Detached and attached houses, two and three family buildings, mixed use storefronts with apartments above, and small development lots. Condition never disqualifies a property: fire damage, open violations, hoarding conditions, failed boilers, tenants in place, none of it stops an offer. We buy across every corner of the neighborhood, from the blocks beside the Kew Gardens LIRR station to the streets that border Forest Park and Richmond Hill. We also buy throughout the borough, because we buy houses in Queens from Astoria to the Rockaways.

How to reach us

Call (516) 964-7222 or use the form on this page. Tell us the address and whatever you know about the condition. We walk the property once, usually within a day or two, and hand you a written cash offer within 24 hours of the visit. The offer is free, it holds for a week, and you are never obligated to take it. If a traditional listing would genuinely net you more after repairs, commissions, and months of carrying costs, we will say so plainly.

Recent Kew Gardens transaction

A Locked Up Tudor on a Court Street, Sold Without a Single Repair

The seller was an executor living in Maryland. Her aunt's brick Tudor two blocks from the LIRR had been closed up for almost two years while probate moved through the Surrogate's Court in Jamaica. The roof slates were slipping, the interior was untouched since the 1970s, and every agent she called wanted the house emptied and staged first. We walked it once, priced it as a renovation project for an end buyer and as a hold for a landlord, and put both numbers in writing. She took the higher one, we cleared the contents ourselves, and the estate closed thirty nine days later.

Common reasons Kew Gardens sellers call us.

An estate house near the courthouse

Kew Gardens sits beside the Queens courts, and plenty of the houses we buy here come through estates. We buy inherited homes as they sit, contents included, and we close on the timeline the Surrogate's Court process allows.

An original Tudor that needs everything

The famous Kew Gardens Tudors are approaching a century old, and many still have their first boilers and knob and tube wiring. We price the house honestly in its current condition and never ask you to renovate a landmark quality home just to sell it.

A co-op estate the family cannot use

Much of Kew Gardens is co-op stock, and board approval makes those estates slow to settle. If the estate also holds a house or a small building, we can buy that piece for cash while the attorneys handle the rest.

Frequently asked questions about selling in Kew Gardens.

How do I sell my house fast in Kew Gardens?

Call (516) 964-7222 or submit the short form on this page. We visit the property, make a written cash offer within 24 hours, and you pick the closing date, often seven to fourteen days out. No agents, no repairs, no fees, and no obligation to accept.

Do you buy estate and probate houses in Kew Gardens?

Yes, estates are a large share of what we buy in Kew Gardens because the Queens Surrogate's Court is minutes away in Jamaica. We work with executors and estate attorneys, buy the house with contents in place, and close on the schedule the court process allows.

Do you buy Kew Gardens co-ops?

Our focus is houses and small multifamily buildings. Co-op sales depend on board approval, which no buyer can bypass. If your situation involves both a co-op and a house, call us about the house and we will point you in the right direction on the rest.

My Kew Gardens house is in original condition. Is that a problem?

No, original condition is our specialty. Many Kew Gardens Tudors and colonials have not been updated in decades, and we price them exactly as they stand. You do not repair, clean out, or even empty the house.

How fast can you close on a Kew Gardens house?

Two to three weeks is typical from signed contract to closing because we pay cash and no lender is involved. Estate sales follow the court timeline, and we hold our offer while that plays out.

We also buy in nearby Queens neighborhoods.
