A Message From Our Founder, Max Cohen

"I know the Queens market. I've seen firsthand the unique challenges homeowners face here. I see Brick semi-detached and detached homes with modest Colonial, Ranch, and Split-Level influences homes dealing with failing cast iron sewer pipes, unpermitted work, and the stress of property taxes. Unlike Compass, my focus is on providing a direct, stress-free solution. We buy as-is, saving you the headache of repairs, listings, and the significant $39,000 in realtor fees you'd pay on an average Queens home."

Don't Get Trapped by Queens's Unique Roadblocks.

Structural Failures & Costly Repairs

Queens homes, especially those built mid-century, often grapple with underlying issues like failing cast iron sewer pipes that can lead to extensive and expensive repairs. Selling traditionally means fixing these first.

Navigating Foreclosure Timelines

Facing foreclosure in Queens? New York's judicial foreclosure process can often extend beyond 450 days, starting with a mandatory 90-day notice. This lengthy process can be overwhelming, but a fast cash sale offers a way out.

Zoning Hazards & Code Violations

Queens properties are subject to complex NYC zoning laws. Issues like Unpermitted basement or attic conversions leading to stop-work orders can halt a traditional sale, but we buy homes even with these complications.

Understanding Queens Property Laws & Costs

Navigating property laws in Queens, governed by New York Real Property Law and NYC-specific regulations, can be complex. From zoning restrictions to historical preservation, understanding your rights and obligations is crucial. For instance, selling an inherited home often involves probate, adding layers of legal and financial complexity.

Local bureaucracy with the NYC Department of Finance for taxes and Con Edison and NYC DEP for utilities means managing multiple entities. For homeowners dealing with abandoned or vacant property, securing the asset and avoiding further penalties becomes a top priority.

Expanded FAQ for Queens Homeowners

What if my Queens property is in a FEMA Flood Zone AE?

Being in a FEMA Flood Zone AE in Queens means your property has a 1% annual chance of flooding. This can significantly impact insurance costs and buyer interest. We specialize in purchasing homes in all conditions and locations, including flood zones, offering a hassle-free solution without requiring you to navigate complex flood insurance disclosures or buyer concerns.

How does coastal flooding and storm surge from severe weather events affect selling my home?

Queens is particularly vulnerable to coastal flooding and storm surge from severe weather events. This primary environmental risk often leads to higher insurance premiums and potential property damage, which can deter traditional buyers. We understand these challenges and are prepared to make a fair cash offer for your home regardless of its flood risk or past weather-related damage, providing a swift and certain sale.

Can I sell my Queens home if it has unpermitted alterations, like an illegal basement apartment?

Yes, you can. Unpermitted basement or attic conversions leading to stop-work orders are a common zoning hazard in Queens that can complicate traditional sales. We buy properties in their current condition, including those with code violations or unpermitted work. You won't need to worry about obtaining permits, costly renovations, or legal repercussions; we handle it all.

What is the advantage of a cash sale over a traditional listing when dealing with Queens' unique architectural styles?

Many Queens homes, including the dominant Brick semi-detached and detached homes with modest Colonial, Ranch, and Split-Level influences from 1950-1980, may have aged infrastructure. A traditional listing might require you to update these to appeal to buyers. With a cash sale, we purchase your home as-is, saving you the expense and effort of updating an older home for the market, even if it has issues like failing cast iron sewer pipes.

Are there any specific Queens landmarks or areas that influence property values?

While major tourist attractions are known, local landmarks often hold significant community value. Areas near Queens Borough Hall or Aqueduct Racetrack can have specific local market dynamics. Our team has deep local knowledge and can provide a fair offer that reflects these hyper-local market nuances, ensuring you get the best value for your property no matter its proximity to these landmarks.
