Even in a seller’s market, it’s smart to look at your options to see how you can best reach your goals with the sale of your Long Island house. While you may be able to get a higher sales price listing with a local agent, that doesn’t always boil down to more money in your pocket or less headache. Dive into the details below to compare your selling options.
Selling w/ A Long Island Agent | SOLD To The Home Byer | |
---|---|---|
Commissions/ Fees: | Up to 6% paid by you, the seller | None |
Who Pays Closing Costs? | 2% on average is paid by you, the seller | We pay all costs. |
Inspection & Financing Contingency*: | Yes, sales can fall through. | None needed |
Appraisal Needed: | Yes, the sale is often subject to appraisal. | No, we make cash offers. |
Average Days Until Sold: | +/- 91 Days | We provide immediate cash offers. |

Closing Date: | 30-60+/- days after accepting the buyer's offer | The date of YOUR CHOICE. |
Who Pays For Repairs? | Negotiated during the inspection period | We pay for all repairs. |
*An inspection contingency lets the buyer have time to do an inspection and back out of the sale or negotiate a new price if there are repairs that need to be done. If you can’t come to an agreement with the buyer, the buyer has the right to back out of the sale. Similarly, a financing contingency gives the buyer the wiggle room to back out of the purchase if they can’t obtain a loan or if the home doesn’t appraise for the value that the bank needs to close the loan.
Here at The Home Byer, we don’t use bank financing so you don’t have to worry about our ability to close on a deal.
Work The Numbers And See Which Way Helps You Get There … When you really work the numbers you start to see the real benefits that each way of selling your New York house offers. Yes, here at The Home Byer we won’t be able to offer you full retail value for your house, but we offer other benefits that the traditional house sale route can’t offer. Like …
You can get rid of the headache of that property fast and avoid one more utility, tax payment, insurance payment, mortgage payment … you get the drill.

We don’t care how dirty your house is (we’ve seen worse!) or how many repairs are needed (a complete fixer? great! we love projects). We want to make an offer on your house today. Let us save you time and put more money in your pocket.
Because we are a full-service professional home buyer here in New York, we make it easy for you. We pay for all of the closing costs. What we offer you is what you get (of course minus any mortgage payoff or other encumbrances on the property). Pretty refreshing, eh?
