New York has some of the most complex real estate laws in the country. Transfer taxes, mansion taxes, estate tax thresholds that kick in at $6.94 million rather than the federal $12.92 million — the financial and legal considerations of selling in New York are genuinely different from most states.
Upstate New York tells a different story than New York City. Cities like Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and Albany have older housing stock, slower markets, and properties that often need significant work before they can compete on the MLS. Many sellers in these markets find that the carrying costs and repair expenses of a traditional listing eat deeply into whatever premium the open market might offer.
We buy properties across all of New York State — upstate, the Hudson Valley, Long Island, and the outer boroughs. The process is the same regardless of where the property is: submit the address, receive a written offer within 48 hours, close on your schedule.
Much of upstate New York's housing was built before 1960. Knob-and-tube wiring, cast iron plumbing, original plaster walls, outdated HVAC — the repair list on many of these homes is substantial. Buyers using conventional financing often cannot purchase properties with serious deferred maintenance because lenders require certain conditions before approving a mortgage. Cash buyers have no such restrictions.
New York State has its own estate tax with a threshold of approximately $6.94 million — significantly lower than the federal exemption. Estates that fall in the "cliff" range (between 100% and 105% of the threshold) can face unexpected tax exposure. If you are an executor or heir navigating an estate that includes New York real property, timing the sale can have real tax implications. An estate attorney familiar with New York law is essential, and we work regularly with estates at various stages of probate.
The Catskills, Adirondacks, and Finger Lakes region draw buyers for vacation properties — and create a consistent flow of heirs who need to sell a remote property they inherited, may never have visited, and cannot practically manage. We buy these properties as-is, working remotely with sellers and closing with a New York title company. You do not need to travel to the property.

Yes — most of what we buy in New York is upstate. Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Albany, the Hudson Valley, the Catskills, the Adirondacks, Long Island. Wherever the property is in New York State, we can make an offer.
New York State imposes a transfer tax of $2 per $500 of consideration (0.4%). New York City has additional transfer taxes ranging from 1% to 2.625% for properties over $500,000. There is also a "mansion tax" of 1% on residential sales over $1 million, typically paid by the buyer. We factor these taxes into our offer so there are no surprises at closing.
New York probate is handled through Surrogate's Court in the county where the deceased lived. The process typically takes several months to over a year for larger estates. We regularly buy properties mid-probate or post-settlement, working directly with estate attorneys and executors. Call us to discuss the status of your specific estate.
Yes. Many of our New York sellers are heirs or out-of-state owners who never need to travel to the property. We work with New York title companies that offer mail-away closings and mobile notary services.
We buy properties with code violations, environmental flags, and unpermitted work regularly. Every situation is different, but condition and violations generally do not prevent us from making an offer — they may affect the offer price, but they are not disqualifiers.
