Sell Your House As Is Fast in Brooklyn

The fastest timeline is 7 days from first contact to closing. Here's the breakdown:

• Day 1: You contact us
• Day 2-3: We visit your Brooklyn property
• Day 3-4: We present written cash offer
• Day 4-7: Contract signed, title work completed
• Day 7: Closing

However, most Brooklyn sellers prefer 14-21 days to coordinate moving, especially from apartments or brownstones. For co-ops requiring board approval, add 2-4 weeks (still much faster than traditional sales).

We're completely flexible on timeline. Some clients take 60-90 days if they need time to find new housing or coordinate relocations. YOU choose the closing date.

Yes, absolutely. Selling a co-op as-is involves two considerations:

We buy co-ops in any condition. That outdated kitchen? The bathroom from 1975? Worn floors? Leave it all. We purchase as-is.

This is the bigger challenge. Co-op boards review buyer finances more than unit condition. Since we're a well-established company with strong financials, we typically satisfy board financial requirements.

1. We make our cash offer (independent of unit condition)
2. We prepare board package (if required)
3. We submit to co-op board
4. Board reviews (2-4 weeks typical)
5. Closing proceeds

• Some co-op boards have restrictions on cash buyers or investors
• We can sometimes negotiate with boards that have concerns
• Flip taxes (if applicable) are factored into our offer
• We have experience with 50+ Brooklyn co-op boards

Note: A small percentage of co-ops have such restrictive policies that even qualified cash buyers face difficulty. We'll know quickly if your building is one of these and will tell you honestly.

Our offers typically range from 70-80% of After Repair Value (ARV), what your property would sell for in fully renovated, retail condition. For Brooklyn, this means:

• Your Park Slope brownstone ARV (after $150K renovations): $1,200,000
• Renovation costs: -$150,000
• Our risk/profit margin: -$120,000
• Holding costs (6 months): -$30,000
• Resale costs (agent, closing): -$60,000
• Our maximum offer: $840,000 (70% of ARV)

• Better condition (less renovation needed)
• Desirable neighborhood (lower risk)
• Clear title (no complicated liens)
• Cooperative co-op board (if applicable)
• Flexible timeline (we can plan better)

• Extensive renovations required ($100K-$300K+)
• Co-op board known to be difficult
• Multiple liens or tax arrears
• Rent-controlled tenants in place
• Landmark restrictions requiring LPC approval

We're transparent: we need profit margin for major renovations, holding costs, legal fees, agent commissions, and market risk. For most Brooklyn sellers, accepting 70-80% of ARV in exchange for zero repairs, zero hassle, and fast closing is worthwhile.

Usually yes, but it's simpler and faster than traditional sales.

Traditional Buyer: Requires 6-8 weeks, extensive docs, interviews, and high rejection risk.
Our Process: We maintain prepared board packages, have established financials, and handle all paperwork. Typically takes 2-4 weeks. We've successfully closed with 50+ Brooklyn co-op boards.

No traditional board approval needed, but buildings have right of first refusal (ROFR). We make an offer, the building has 30-60 days to match it (in 95%+ cases they decline), and we proceed to closing.

No board approval needed. Much faster process.

Zero commissions. Zero fees. The offer we make is what you receive at closing (minus payoffs for any mortgages, liens, or property taxes owed).

• Title search and insurance
• Our attorney fees
• Recording fees (typically)
• Transfer taxes (negotiable, often split)
• Any standard closing costs

• Your attorney fees (recommended: $1,500-$3,000)
• Outstanding mortgages (paid from proceeds)
• Property tax arrears (paid from proceeds)
• Water bills or other liens (paid from proceeds)
• Co-op flip taxes (if applicable, deducted from proceeds)

No Hidden Fees: Some cash buyers try to renegotiate lower prices after inspections. We don't. Our offer is our offer.

We buy properties with rent-controlled and rent-stabilized tenants regularly. This is common in Brooklyn.

Our Approach: We buy the property with tenants in place and factor the below-market rents into our offer calculation. After closing, the tenancy becomes our responsibility.

• Tenants stay under existing lease terms
• We become the new landlord
• Rent control/stabilization continues
• We handle tenant relations
• You have zero ongoing responsibility

Below-market rents affect property value, but you avoid lengthy tenant buyout negotiations, legal costs, and uncertainty. For many, this is the easiest solution.

Yes. Brooklyn has 23+ historic districts (Brooklyn Heights, Fort Greene, Park Slope, etc.) where properties face restrictions from the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC).

• Exterior changes require LPC approval
• Significant renovations need permits
• Process adds time and expense

Our Advantage: We understand LPC requirements and factor compliance costs into our offers. You don't need LPC approval to sell—we handle it for future renovations. You can sell as-is.

All of them. Seriously. From high-end Brooklyn Heights to affordable East New York.

• Expensive neighborhoods? Yes (Park Slope, DUMBO, Williamsburg)
• More affordable areas? Yes (East New York, Brownsville, Canarsie)
• Emerging neighborhoods? Yes (Bushwick, Crown Heights, Bed-Stuy)
• South Brooklyn? Yes (Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, Sunset Park)
• Coastal areas? Yes (Coney Island, Brighton Beach)

If It's in Kings County (Brooklyn), We Buy There.

• Single/Multi-Family Homes (Fastest): 7-21 days typical.
• Condos (Moderate): 30-60 days (due to Right of First Refusal period).
• Co-ops (Longer): 4-8 weeks (for board review vs 12-16 weeks traditional).
• Complex Situations: Liens or probate may add time.
• Foreclosure Prevention: ASAP (7-14 days).

You're in control. At contract signing, YOU specify the closing date based on your needs.

Yes, and timing is critical.

We can purchase, pay off the mortgage, potentially leave you with cash, and stop foreclosure before it starts.

Contact us IMMEDIATELY. We need 14-21 days minimum before the auction to confirm equity and clear title.

Important: Brooklyn's high property values mean many homeowners facing foreclosure still have equity. Selling is better than losing to auction.

• Pros: Highest potential price, multiple buyers.
• Cons: 5-6% commission ($50K+ avg), 3-6 month timeline, requires repairs/staging, multiple showings, financing contingencies, board uncertainty.
• Total Hidden Costs: $75,000-$150,000+

• Pros: Zero commissions, 7-60 day close, no repairs (as-is), one visit (no showings), cash (no financing contingency), we handle board/violations.
• Cons: Below market value (70-80% ARV), one buyer.

Recommendation: Get both options. Talk to an agent AND get our offer to compare.

Yes. Common Brooklyn violations (DOB work without permits, illegal conversions, fire safety) do not stop us.

• Minor Violations: We deduct resolution cost from offer and fix after closing.
• Major Violations: Price reflects correction costs, but we still buy.
• Open Permits: We can often close with open permits.

You don't spend time/money fixing them; we buy as-is.

Legally: No. Our Recommendation: Yes, absolutely.

A lawyer protects YOUR interests. Brooklyn real estate involves complex transfer taxes, co-op rules, and liens. Attorneys typically charge $1,500-$3,000, which is excellent value for contract review and peace of mind.

We coordinate with your attorney throughout the process. We can provide referrals if needed.

We purchase a wide range of residential properties throughout Brooklyn:

What We DON'T Typically Buy: ❌ Commercial-only properties, Large apartments (50+ units), Vacant land.

When in Doubt: Just ask!
