Mount Vernon homes and the sellers we work with

Mount Vernon is one of the densest cities in the state, with many attached and semi-attached two- and three-family houses. Long-held family homes, deferred maintenance and tenant-occupied units are common reasons owners call us.

Mount Vernon's older housing frequently comes with unresolved building department items, old oil tanks, and cast-iron plumbing near the end of its life. Fleetwood and Chester Hill have more single-family and larger homes, while the South Side is dominated by multifamily. Many Mount Vernon owners we speak with inherited a parent's house and are now juggling its taxes and water bills alongside their own home. Mount Vernon City Court handles eviction cases within the city, and the city's own tax office handles any delinquency on the property.

Local tax note: The City of Mount Vernon collects its own property taxes and has its own tax lien process.

What selling to us looks like in Mount Vernon

Step one is a short conversation about the property and what you need. Step two is a walkthrough; you do not need to clean or fix anything. Step three is a written offer you can show your attorney, family or a listing agent for comparison. If it works, attorneys for both sides handle the contract, the title company clears liens and judgments, and you choose the closing day. You can take what you want from the house and leave the rest.

An honest comparison

Listing exposes your home to the most buyers and can produce the highest price, but it usually means repairs, staging, showings, commissions and a buyer whose financing can fall through. Selling to us trades some of that top-line price for a known closing date and no prep work. Which is better depends on the house and on you, and there is no obligation either way.

We also buy throughout Westchester County and the rest of the Hudson Valley.
