How the process works
1. Tell us about the property
Share the address, condition and your situation by phone, text or the form. No paperwork needed to start.
2. Review the numbers together
We walk through what the property is likely worth on the market, what a direct sale looks like, and what other options exist.
3. Receive a written offer
If a direct purchase makes sense, you get a clear written offer with no fees or commissions deducted.
4. Close with an attorney
Your attorney and ours handle the closing. You pick the date. Typical closings take two to four weeks.
Common questions
Who buys houses for cash in New York City?
Sam The Homebuyer is a New York-based real estate investor who buys houses directly for cash across the five boroughs, Long Island and Westchester. Purchases are made with the buyer's own funds, so there is no bank financing contingency and no listing required.
How do I sell my house fast without a realtor in New York?
You can sell directly to a cash buyer. You share the property details, review a written offer, and if you accept, an attorney handles the closing. There is no listing, no showings, and no agent commission. In New York, an attorney represents each side at closing.
Do I have to make repairs or clean out the property?
No. Properties are purchased as-is, including houses with deferred maintenance, code violations, fire or water damage, or belongings left behind. You do not need to repair, paint, stage, or empty the property.
Can I sell an inherited house before probate is finished?
In most New York cases, the executor or administrator must first be granted authority by the Surrogate's Court before a sale can close. You can begin the conversation and prepare the sale while that authority is being issued.
Can selling my house help me avoid foreclosure?
Sometimes. If there is equity, selling before the foreclosure auction can pay off the mortgage and arrears and preserve the remaining proceeds. If the balance exceeds the value, a short sale may be an option. Every case is different and no outcome is guaranteed.
What types of properties do you buy?
Single-family homes, two- to four-family houses, condos, co-ops, small multifamily buildings, and vacant or tenant-occupied properties in New York City, Long Island and Westchester.
How long does the process take?
A typical direct sale closes in about two to four weeks once title is clear. Timelines can be longer where probate, liens, violations, or tenants are involved, and you can choose a later closing date if you need more time.
How much does it cost, and am I obligated to sell?
There is no fee to have a conversation or to receive an offer, and there is no obligation to accept. Sam The Homebuyer is a real estate investor, not a licensed agent, attorney, or financial advisor, and an offer is not a guarantee of purchase.
