Not Just Home Buyers, We Are Your Long Island Neighbors & Problem Solvers
Helping homeowners across Nassau and Suffolk County find a fresh start since 1999.
Why We Do This
"Real estate isn't just about bricks and mortar; it's about people."
When we started 123 We Buy House back in 1999, we noticed a gap in the market. The traditional way of selling a house (listing with an agent, hosting open houses, waiting for banks) works for some, but it fails many. We saw good people struggling with inherited properties they couldn't manage, foreclosure notices they didn't deserve, or houses that simply needed too much work to list on the market.
We decided to build a different kind of company. We aren't a faceless national corporation or a "Wall Street" hedge fund. We are a local, family-owned business rooted right here in Long Island.
For over 26 years, our goal hasn't just been to "buy houses." It has been to provide a lifeline. We exist to remove the burden of an unwanted property so you can walk away with cash, dignity, and peace of mind.

The Values That Drive Us
In an industry that sometimes lacks trust, we strive to be the exception. Here is what you can expect when you work with us:
Empathy First
We know that if you are calling us, you might be going through a tough transition—divorce, loss of a loved one, or financial stress. We listen before we talk. We treat every homeowner with respect, compassion, and absolutely zero judgment.
Unshakeable Integrity
We keep our word. The biggest fear sellers have is a buyer backing out at the last minute or lowering their offer. We don’t play those games. If we make you an offer, we close on it.
Total Transparency
We believe you deserve to know exactly how the process works. There are no hidden fees, no surprise closing costs, and no "gotcha" moments. We will sit down and explain exactly how we calculated your offer so you can make an informed decision.
Why Working With A Family Business Matters
When you work with us, you aren't just a "lead" in a database. You're dealing with real people who live in your community. We don't answer to Wall Street shareholders; we answer to you.
Decision Makers, Not Call Centers
When you call us, you speak directly to the people who can make a decision. No waiting for "corporate approval" or dealing with endless phone menus. We can make an offer on the spot.
Personalized Care
Every homeowner's situation is different. Because we are a small, dedicated team, we can tailor our solution to fit your specific needs—whether it's a flexible moving date or help with cleanout.
Reputation Is Everything
As a family business, our name is on the line. We rely on referrals and good standing in the community. That means we treat you fairly, keep our promises, and never pressure you.
Why "Local" Matters
You might see ads from big national companies claiming to buy houses. But do they know the difference between a block in Hempstead and a street in Smithtown? Probably not. We do.
We Give Better Offers
We know the true value of Long Island neighborhoods because we live here. We don't rely on generic computer algorithms from another state to price your home.
We Care About Community
When we buy a house, we renovate it to improve the neighborhood we share with you. We are invested in making Nassau and Suffolk counties better places to live.
We Are Accessible
You can come shake our hand. We aren't a faceless website. We are real people, right here in your backyard, ready to meet you face-to-face.
