About the area
Why Flushing sellers call us.
Flushing is one of the busiest, most in-demand housing markets in all of Queens, and it does not behave like anywhere else in the borough. The blocks around Main Street and Roosevelt Avenue are among the densest commercial districts in New York, and the residential streets that fan out from them, through Murray Hill, North Flushing, and toward Kissena Park, hold a mix you will not find elsewhere: prewar brick rowhouses, detached and semi-detached frames on deep lots, and postwar brick homes that developers now compete hard to buy. We have been buying houses in the NY metro area since 2000, and Flushing sellers call us for a simple reason: a straight cash offer, no repairs, no agents, no waiting out a financing contingency. For background on the neighborhood, see this Flushing community profile.
Nick York handles acquisitions for EZ Home Buyers, and Flushing rewards local knowledge more than almost any market we buy in. The same house can be worth very different numbers depending on whether its lot interests a builder, whether its block is zoned for more than what sits on it, and whether the buyer pool is families, investors, or developers. If you are thinking about selling your house in Flushing, you deserve someone who prices all three of those possibilities and shows you the math. That is what we do, in writing, within 24 hours of a walkthrough.
Why cash home buyers in Flushing matter more than elsewhere
Flushing sales fall apart in escrow at a rate that surprises outsiders. Financed buyers stretch to reach Queens prices, appraisals come in under contract on blocks where recent sales swing wildly between teardown value and renovated value, and lenders balk at houses with basement apartments or extensions that never got permits, which describes a large share of the housing stock here. A cash sale skips the appraisal, skips the lender, and skips the inspection standoff. The condition of the house becomes a line item in our offer instead of the reason a deal dies in week six.
The Flushing sellers we hear from most
Longtime owners sitting on builder-bait lots lead the list. If your house is original inside and the lot is deep, developers are already mailing you letters, and their offers are built to favor them. We price the house honestly against both the retail market and the land value, explain which one your property really is, and put the number in writing with a week to think about it.
Estates are second. A parent leaves a North Flushing brick colonial or a Murray Hill frame to children spread between Long Island, New Jersey, and another coast, and the Queens County probate process starts grinding while the house sits. We buy inherited houses exactly as they sit, furniture and all, coordinate with the estate attorney, and close when the Surrogate paperwork allows. Landlords round out the list: two and three family houses near the 7 train have been reliable rentals for decades, but between rising costs and tenants who stopped paying, plenty of owners are ready to be done. We buy occupied buildings and the tenant situation transfers to us at closing.
What Flushing houses are actually selling for
The median sale price in Flushing is around $695,000, up about 1 percent over the past year. That number hides the real story: renovated houses and buildable lots trade well above it, while original-condition houses with open permits or unpermitted units trade below it and often struggle to close with financed buyers at all. We price against your house’s actual situation, show you the comparable sales we used, and never make you guess how we got to the number.
Permits, violations, and the paperwork Queens is famous for
Unpermitted basement apartments, altered layouts that never saw a Department of Buildings sign-off, open violations from decades-old work: this is normal Flushing inventory, and it is exactly what makes banks nervous and traditional sales slow. It does not stop us. We buy houses with open violations and paperwork problems, and our attorneys resolve what needs resolving through the closing itself. The same goes for tax liens and water charges: they get paid from proceeds at the closing table, not by you in advance.
What we buy in Flushing
Single family homes, two to four family houses, condos, vacant land, and mixed use buildings. We do not buy co-ops, which matters in Flushing where co-op towers dominate parts of the market: if your property is a co-op we will tell you straight that we are not your buyer. Houses, land, and small multifamily are exactly what we want.

Recent Flushing transaction
An Original-Condition North Flushing Colonial, Priced as a House and as a Lot
The owners were siblings in their fifties who had inherited their parents' brick colonial on a quiet North Flushing street. The house had been meticulously maintained and almost never updated: one kitchen renovation in the 1980s, original bathrooms, a slate roof nearing the end of its long life. Within a month of the estate opening, the letters started arriving, three different developers, each offering a fast all-cash closing, each number lower than the last one implied it would be.
The siblings did what most families do: they asked a local agent what the house would list for. The agent's number assumed a renovated buyer market and a financed sale, and came with a warning that the house would need work to get there, plus the usual months of showings while the estate paid taxes and utilities on an empty house.
They called us because our written offer format let them compare everything on one page. Nick York walked the house on a Saturday, then priced it twice: once as a house a family would renovate, once as a lot a builder would want. He explained which comparable sales supported each number and why the developer letters were coming in under both.
The offer that worked was the land-value number, a figure meaningfully above the best developer letter, with the estate choosing the closing date. We closed in 26 days, timed to the Surrogate paperwork. The siblings took the family photographs and their father's workbench, and left everything else to us. The sister told us afterward that the part that mattered most was seeing both versions of the math side by side, because it ended the family argument about what the house was really worth. That is how we buy in Flushing.
Common reasons Flushing sellers call us.
A builder-bait lot with an original house
Developers circle deep Flushing lots and their letters favor them. We price the house and the land honestly, show the math for both, and let you decide with a written offer that holds for a week.
Inherited a house near Kissena Park
Queens probate plus a house full of decades of belongings is heavy from out of town. We buy estate houses as they sit and close on the estate's schedule.
Landlord done with a two family near the 7 train
Rising costs and difficult tenants have worn out plenty of longtime Flushing landlords. We buy occupied buildings as-is and the situation becomes ours at closing.
An appraisal already killed one sale
Flushing comps swing so widely that under-contract appraisals sink deals constantly. Cash means no appraisal and no lender, so the number we agree on is the number that closes.
Unpermitted work and open violations
Basement units and old alterations without sign-offs stall traditional sales cold. We buy with violations open and resolve the paperwork after closing.
Pre-foreclosure anywhere in Flushing
New York's court-run foreclosure process is slow, which means there is usually still time to sell, protect your credit, and keep equity the auction would erase.
Divorce and a jointly owned house
When both parties need a clean, fast resolution, a six month listing helps nobody. We can close in as little as two weeks with proceeds split however the parties agreed.
A vacant house drawing notices
An empty Flushing house attracts violations and worse fast. We buy vacant houses in any condition, no cleanout required.
Frequently asked questions about selling in Flushing.
How do I sell my house fast in Flushing?
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.
How fast can you close on a Flushing house?
Two to three weeks is typical from offer to closing because we pay cash and no lender is involved. Estate sales run on the Surrogate's timeline and we close when the paperwork is ready. If you need longer to arrange your next home, the date moves to fit you.
Developers keep sending me letters about my Flushing lot. How is your offer different?
We price both possibilities, the house as a house and the lot as land, and tell you which one your property really is. Our offer is written, explained line by line, and stays open for seven days so you can compare it against any developer letter on your kitchen table.
My house has an unpermitted basement apartment. Can you still buy it?
Yes. Unpermitted units are everywhere in Flushing's housing stock and they routinely kill financed deals over Department of Buildings and certificate of occupancy issues. We buy the house as it stands and take responsibility for the paperwork after closing.
Do you buy co-ops in Flushing?
No. Co-ops are the one property type we do not buy, because board approval defeats the point of a fast, certain sale. Houses, two to four family buildings, condos, land, and mixed use are all fair game.
I inherited a house in Flushing and live out of state. How does this work?
We handle it remotely. Documents move by overnight mail or e-signature, we coordinate with your estate attorney and the Queens County Surrogate process, and we buy the house exactly as it sits, contents included. Nobody has to fly in for the closing.
There are tenants in my two family. Is that a problem?
No. We buy occupied buildings, whether the tenants are paying or not. You do not need to resolve the tenancy before selling. It transfers to us at closing and we handle it from there.
Do I pay commissions or fees when I sell to EZ Home Buyers in Flushing?
No agent commissions and no listing fees. We cover standard closing costs on our side. The offer we present is what you walk away with, minus any existing mortgage or liens paid off at closing. No surprise deductions on closing day.
