Street view of Broadway in Hicksville NY where EZ Home Buyers pays cash for houses

Hicksville is the crossroads of the island. The busiest LIRR station in Nassau sits at its center, Broadway and Old Country Road cross a block away, and every postwar housing style Long Island ever produced radiates outward from there, ranches, capes, splits, and high ranches on tidy sixty by one hundred lots. People bought here in the sixties and seventies because it was practical, and practicality is still the town’s whole personality.

That generation is now moving on, and Hicksville is quietly full of empty nesters sitting in four bedroom houses they use two rooms of. The math of staying gets worse every year, Nassau taxes on a paid off house, oil heat, a lawn nobody enjoys mowing anymore. The math of listing is not much better, because a 1965 split with its original kitchen gets punished by financed buyers, and renovating just to sell means months of contractors in a house you are trying to leave. We are the third option. We buy the house as it is, you move near the grandkids or down south on your own schedule, and the closing date bends to your plans, not the other way around.

Decades of practical ownership left a particular mark here: the expanded house. Dormers pushed up, dens pushed out the back, garages turned into bedrooms, most of it done well and some of it never filed with the Town of Oyster Bay. When a financed buyer’s bank compares the house to the tax records, those differences surface and deals die. We buy houses with unfiled expansions every month and take on the paperwork ourselves after closing.

The station area keeps demand strong, and the town’s downtown redevelopment push has investors watching Hicksville closely. But that demand is for turnkey houses. Sellers with dated or complicated properties get squeezed between renovation costs they do not want and lowball offers that never come with the math attached. Our offers do. Renovated value, repair budget, our costs, every line in writing before you decide anything.

The process is simple. Reach out with the address, show us the house in person or on video, and get a written cash offer within a day. No commissions, no fees, no repairs, no showings, no cleanout. Accept, and a local title company closes in two to three weeks, or later if your move needs more runway.

We are family owned and Nassau based, buying since 2000. If your house is in the 11801 ZIP code, from the station blocks to the Cantiague Park side, send us the address and we will get to work.

Hicksville’s station is the busiest on Long Island, and the years of Main Line work that electrified and third-tracked the corridor were a bet on exactly this downtown. The town has followed with rezoning studies aimed at apartments and mixed use around the station, and the Sears property saga on Broadway has kept redevelopment speculation simmering for a decade. For nearby homeowners this creates the familiar Long Island limbo: promised someday value, real today taxes. If you are done waiting on renderings, our offer prices the house that exists on the street that exists, in writing, and closes while the studies continue studying.

The mid-island housing anatomy matters when you sell as-is. Hicksville’s postwar builders raised whole neighborhoods of splits and high-ranches whose layouts the current market treats as puzzles: half-flights everywhere, bedrooms over garages, dens that want to be kitchens. Financed buyers discount what confuses them. We renovate these layouts constantly, know exactly what walls come out and what the result sells for, and price your house against that finished picture. A dated split with good bones is not a problem property to us. It is inventory we understand better than almost anyone bidding against us.

Two below-ground issues drive more Hicksville sales than owners expect. Buried oil tanks, standard equipment when these houses were built, are now a liability lenders hate: abandonment paperwork, soil questions, remediation stories from two towns over. And while most of the hamlet enjoys sewers, the exceptions and the old cesspool tie-ins surface at the worst moment in a retail deal. We buy houses with tanks still in the ground and septic questions unanswered, price the resolution as a line item, and manage the environmental work after closing with our own contractors.

The downsizing conversation here deserves its practical details. Hicksville empty nesters are often sitting on paid-off houses worth seven hundred thousand dollars or more while using three rooms and heating eight with oil. The move to the condo, the Carolinas, or the in-law suite near the grandkids founders on logistics: fifty years of belongings, a house that needs work to list, a market that punishes dated kitchens. Our version removes every one of those obstacles at once. Take what you love, leave the rest, skip the renovation entirely, and set the closing for the week after the new place is ready. The estate sale, the dumpsters, the contractor parade, none of it happens to you.

For the commuters replacing them, Hicksville remains the practical capital of Nassau, which keeps our renovated resale market deep and lets us offer aggressively. That is the honest engine behind our numbers here: we know precisely what a finished house near this station sells for, because we sell them. Your offer is that figure minus the real work and our real costs, shown line by line, which is why comparing us against other buyers tends to go well for us.

It is worth spelling out what the two paths actually look like from a Hicksville kitchen table. The listing path: weeks of prep and cleanout, a parade of showings, an accepted offer that then survives inspection negotiations, a bank appraisal, and a financing contingency, with ninety days from listing to keys as a good outcome and one buyer’s cold feet able to restart the clock. The cash path: one walkthrough, a written number the next day, and a title company closing about three weeks later, with nothing to prep, nobody walking through your rooms on Sundays, and no appraisal able to reopen the price. The listing path can gross more for a turnkey house with time to spare. For a dated house on a deadline, the second path usually nets more once the carrying months and the price cuts are counted honestly.

Season never matters to our calendar, and for snowbirds it is worth saying plainly: January and February closings are some of our smoothest, because the retail market sleeps while title companies do not. If the plan is to leave for Florida ahead of the next winter, working backward from your departure date is exactly the kind of scheduling we do weekly, and the house can close while you are already unpacking down south.

Check us before you call us. The BBB profile, the reviews page with sellers on camera, the closed purchases we can walk you through. Twenty-five years in one market means the record exists, and we would rather you read it first than take a stranger’s word at your kitchen table.

One practical note for Hicksville owners weighing their options: if back taxes are part of the picture, you can confirm exactly what is owed through the Nassau County Treasurer before you decide anything. Bring us the real number and we will build the offer math around it.

Common reasons Hicksville sellers call us.

Downsizing After Decades in the Same House in Hicksville

Four bedrooms, two people, stairs that get longer every year. We buy on your schedule, so you can find the condo or make the move near family first and close here when you are ready. You take what matters and we handle the rest.

A Dormer or Extension That Was Never Filed

Hicksville houses grew over the decades, and not every dormer, den, or garage conversion made it into the Town of Oyster Bay records. Those gaps end financed deals in inspection. We buy with the paperwork as it is and correct the record after closing.

An Inherited Split Level Full of Belongings

The house your parents kept for fifty years now sits between siblings who live elsewhere. We coordinate with the estate attorney, buy it contents and all, and close remotely on the timeline probate allows.

A House With Its Original Everything

The 1965 kitchen, one and a half baths, oil heat, a roof on its second life. Financed buyers punish dated houses. We renovate for a living, so dated is simply our starting point, priced openly in the written offer.

Relocating for Work on a Deadline

A new job elsewhere does not wait for a spring listing season. We can close in two to three weeks, coordinate the date with your start date, and take the house off your plate before the moving truck leaves.

A Rental Near the Station You Are Done With

Station area rentals stay full but wear fast. We buy occupied or vacant, with cooperative tenants or difficult ones, and whatever lease or court process exists transfers to us at closing.

Behind on Taxes or the Mortgage

Nassau tax arrears and mortgage debt compound quickly. A cash closing pays the balance from proceeds at the table, can stop a foreclosure before auction when timing allows, and protects your remaining equity.

A Divorce That Needs a Firm Number and Date

One written offer for both attorneys, one closing date that fits the agreement, no showings coordinated between two schedules. The equity splits and everyone moves forward.

An Oil Tank Nobody Wants to Discuss

The buried tank from 1962 scares lenders and stalls listings. We buy with it in the ground, price the abandonment honestly, and run the environmental work ourselves after closing.

Waiting on the Station Rezoning That Keeps Not Happening

A decade of studies, renderings, and Sears-site proposals while your taxes arrived on schedule. Our number closes this month. Weigh it against the next study's timeline.

Frequently asked questions about selling in Hicksville.

How do I sell my house fast in Hicksville?

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 house in Hicksville, NY?

Two to three weeks from an accepted offer is standard, since cash removes the lender, appraisal, and financing contingency. Just as often our Hicksville sellers want the opposite, a closing set weeks out so a move can be arranged. Either way, you pick the date.

We are downsizing but have not found the next place yet. Can the closing wait?

Yes. We regularly set closings a month or more out so sellers can secure the condo or the out of state house first, and we can sometimes arrange a short stay after closing while your move finishes. Tell us the sequence you need and we will build the contract around it.

The house has a dormer and extension that were never filed with the town. Is that a dealbreaker?

No, it is one of the most common things we see in Hicksville. Differences between the house and the Town of Oyster Bay records stall financed buyers, not us. We buy as-is and handle the legalization or corrections after closing at our expense.

How do you come up with your offer?

We start with the renovated value on your street, subtract realistic repair costs, carrying costs, and closing costs, and hand you the math in writing. You see every line and can compare it directly against a listing or any other cash offer.

Do I need to renovate or even clean before selling?

Neither. No repairs, no painting, no cleanout. Take the belongings you want and leave everything else, we handle it after closing. The offer already accounts for condition, so nothing you leave undone counts against you at the table.

I inherited the house with my siblings. How does that work?

We work with the estate attorney and all heirs together, walk the house on video for anyone out of state, and close when probate allows. One written number makes it easy for siblings to agree, and remote signing means nobody has to fly in.

Do you buy houses with tenants in place?

Yes. Occupied houses are routine, whether tenants are paying or not, and any lease or court process transfers to us at closing. You never need to deliver the house empty.

What happens to my mortgage at closing?

The title company calculates the exact payoff in advance and pays it from the proceeds at the table. The written offer shows what clears and what you keep, so there are no surprises on closing day.

Are there any commissions or fees?

None. No commission, no listing fee, and we pay the standard closing costs. The number on the offer is the money that reaches you, less only debts on the property that the sale pays off.

Which parts of Hicksville do you cover?

All of the 11801 ZIP code, the station blocks, the Broadway corridor, and the residential sections out to Cantiague Park and the Levittown line. We also buy in Levittown, Westbury, Bethpage, Plainview, and across Nassau County. For property records, the Nassau County Treasurer site is a useful starting point.

There is talk of rezoning near the station. Should I hold out for a developer?

Only with clear eyes. Transit-area rezoning here has been studied for years while the Sears site alone has cycled through a decade of proposals. Assemblage offers, when they ever come, favor developers with time to wait. If your house is costing you money now, our written number for a this-month closing is the figure to weigh, not a study's rendering.

Is there an oil tank buried in my yard, and is that a dealbreaker?

If the house predates the seventies, possibly, and for financed buyers it can be. For us it is a line item. We buy with tanks in the ground, handle abandonment or removal after closing through our own environmental contractors, and the offer shows exactly what that resolution costs. You never manage a remediation.

My split-level has the original layout. Buyers keep calling it choppy. Does that sink the price?

It sinks retail interest, not our math. We open these layouts up constantly and know the finished value cold. The offer prices your house against that renovated picture minus the actual construction, which usually treats a structurally sound split far better than a season of financed buyers wincing at half-flights.

We are downsizing south but the new place will not be ready for two months. Can the sale wait for it?

The contract can be signed now and the closing set for when the new place is ready, two months out or more. You get certainty immediately and move exactly once. If construction slips, we move the date with it. Locking your sale while keeping your schedule is precisely what cash buyers are for.

How do you decide what a renovated Hicksville house is worth for the offer math?

From our own finished sales and current renovated comps within the hamlet, street-adjusted. This is our home market and we resell here, so the renovated value line in your offer is a number we stake actual money on, not an algorithm's guess. That is also why we show it to you rather than hiding the math.

We also buy in nearby Long Island neighborhoods.
