How selling to us works in Westbury
- 1
Tell us where it is
Just the address in 11590 and roughly what shape it is in. It takes a couple of minutes. Leave the house exactly as it is; we do not need it tidied, photographed or fixed.
- 2
A quick look in person
We visit once and it rarely takes more than half an hour. On the cape cod or colonial houses that make up most of Westbury, we check the roof, the boiler and the electric before anything cosmetic.
- 3
We put a figure in writing
You have a written number within 24 hours, a single figure rather than a "somewhere around". Feel free to check it with a Nassau County agent. When a house is ready to list as it is, listing can beat us, and we would rather you knew.
- 4
You choose when to close
Soon, or months away if probate, a tenant or your next move has to come first. You also avoid the 86 to 101 days a listed Westbury house typically takes to find a buyer and get through the buyer's mortgage.
Most people who call us are not just moving
They are selling because of something else that happened. An estate, a tenant who stopped paying, a house nobody has lived in since a parent went into care. These are the situations we see most often in Westbury.
Foreclosure & debt
Missed payments, a foreclosure notice, liens, back taxes or bankruptcy.

Work it against Westbury's own numbers. The median sale here is $801,000. A 5% commission on that is $40,050, and seller closing costs of about 2% add roughly $16,020. Those are costs we can cover on our side. That is $56,070 gone before anyone counts the repairs it took to get the house listable.
There are two waits in a listed sale and people usually only count the first. In Westbury the median house takes about 41 days to go from listed to a signed contract. Then it waits again, typically 45 to 60 days, while the buyer's lender orders an appraisal and underwrites the loan. Call it 86 to 101 days from sign to keys, assuming nothing goes wrong.
The part worth understanding is what a signed contract actually guarantees, which is less than most sellers assume. A retail buyer with a mortgage contingency can walk away right up to the end. If they do not qualify, if the appraisal comes in under the price, if they change their mind and let the financing lapse. A share of deals die exactly there, after months of waiting, and the house goes back on the market with time on it. We are not borrowing anything, so there is no lender to satisfy, no appraisal to come in low and no contingency to exercise.
| Listing with an agent | Selling to us | |
|---|---|---|
| Sale price | $801,000 (Westbury median) | Our written offer |
| Commission | −$40,050 | None |
| Seller closing costs | −$16,020 | We can cover them |
| Repairs before listing | Out of pocket | None |
| Cleanout | Yours | Ours |
| Showings | Until it sells | One visit |
| Listed to signed contract | 41 days (Westbury median, once listable) | 24 hours to a written offer |
| Contract to closing | 45 to 60 days (waiting on the buyer's lender) | A date you choose |
| Total wait | 86 to 101 days if nothing falls through | Yours to set |
| Can the buyer walk? | Yes (mortgage contingency runs to the end) | No financing to fall through |
| Before repairs and carrying | $744,930 | The number we put in writing |
Assumptions: 5% commission and about 2% seller closing costs on the listing side, and both move from deal to deal. Repairs and the cost of holding the house are not deducted, since they vary by property. A well-kept house with a good agent can come out ahead of a cash sale, and if that describes yours we will say it.
How we arrive at a number
The honest answer on a house is that we work backwards from what it is worth once it is fixed, subtract what fixing it costs, and subtract what we need to make for the risk of being wrong about either. There is no secret to it and no algorithm.
- What it is worth repaired. Not the Westbury median of $801,000 on its own, but what houses like yours on your street actually closed at recently.
- What the work costs. Roof, boiler, electric, the kitchen and bath. In Westbury the stock is largely cape cod and colonial, and on houses that age the mechanicals are usually the expensive part rather than the cosmetics.
- How long we will hold it. The median Westbury house goes under contract in about 41 days once it is showable, then waits 45 to 60 days more on the buyer's lender. Ours has to get to showable first, and we carry taxes and insurance across the whole of it.
- What we are wrong about. Opening a wall finds things. That risk is priced in, which is a large part of why a cash number sits below a retail number.
Why the number works for us and not for you
This is the part most cash buyers are vague about, so here it is plainly. We run millions of dollars of construction a year. That volume buys materials at contractor pricing and keeps the same crews working year round, which means the identical renovation costs us roughly half what a homeowner would pay to have it done.
That gap is the business. It is also why doing the work yourself before selling so rarely pays: you would be buying the same roof and the same boiler at retail, then hoping the market hands it back to you at resale. It usually does not. We are not making money because you sold cheaply. We are making it because we build cheaply.
And if the number does not work for you, say so. We would rather hear that than talk anyone into anything. We will look at your situation and tell you honestly what we think your options are, including the ones that do not involve us. Plenty of people are better off listing with an agent, and when you are one of them we will say so rather than let you find out later.
What this looks like in Westbury specifically
Westbury is roughly 15,864 people in Nassau County, ZIP 11590, and the housing stock is mostly cape cod, colonial, ranch. Around Post Avenue and Jericho Turnpike, most of it is old enough that the mechanicals are on their second or third life. The Westbury stop pulls buyers who commute, which supports the good houses and does very little for the ones that need a roof. We know which of these streets take water, where the older systems fail first, and what the Westbury Union Free School District does to a resale price.
The Westbury median has barely moved year over year as of 2026-05, at 3.35%. Flat is the hardest market to price a fixer into, because there is no upward drift to cover a mistake and no urgency pushing buyers to overlook a problem. At a $801,000 median, Westbury buyers are paying enough that they expect the house to be finished. A dated kitchen is a deduction in a cheaper market and close to disqualifying in this one, which is why unrenovated houses here sit while the renovated ones move. The median house goes under contract in about 41 days, which is not slow - but it describes houses that were already showable on day one.
What sellers say
More reviews →Any other way would have been a nightmare for me.
I took a chance and called up, we had a very good relationship, very pleasant, and very cordial. It lead up to a closing and then we asked them to please stay in the house a couple weeks after at no rent, and they agreed.
This was literally the best customer service experience from top to bottom, start to finish I've ever had.
Common questions
Do you actually buy in Westbury, or is this a national site?
Nassau and Suffolk County are the only places we buy, and we have no plans to expand past Long Island. A buyer who operates in fifty states does not know what your street is worth.
Is there any obligation?
None. The visit is free, the written offer is free, and if you say no we do not call you again. There is no follow-up campaign.
Do I need to repair or clean anything first?
No. Take what you want out of the house and leave everything else where it is, including furniture. Clearing it is our cost.
Will you pay what my house is worth?
We pay below what a fully renovated house on your street sells for, because we are buying it unrenovated and carrying it while it is fixed. We will show you exactly how we got to the number, and if listing with an agent would net you more we will tell you that instead.
How fast can you close?
Close in a hurry, or take the time you need. Some people need three weeks. Some are waiting on probate or a tenant and need three months. The closing date is a term you set, not something a lender dictates.
