Sell your Newburgh house fast for cash

We buy houses in Newburgh, NY

If you are thinking "I need to sell my house fast in Newburgh," Brentford Home Buyers can make a written cash offer on the property as it is. We are a direct buyer, not a brokerage, so there is no listing, no commission and no waiting on a buyer's bank. We buy in all parts of Newburgh, including the East End Historic District, Downtown, Broadway, the Heights, Balmville, the Town of Newburgh and New Windsor.

Newburgh homes and the sellers we work with

The City of Newburgh has one of the largest historic districts in the state, full of brick row houses and 19th-century homes, many of which need significant work. Vacant buildings, city code issues and tenant-occupied multifamilies are common situations, while the Town of Newburgh has more mid-century single-family homes.

The City of Newburgh has a long history of vacant and city-owned properties, and many houses in the East End need structural, roofing or masonry work before a lender would touch them. The city's code enforcement and rental registration requirements can also affect landlords. Across the city line, the Town of Newburgh and New Windsor have more ranches, capes and split-levels, often sold because of a move, an estate or a divorce. Newburgh City Court handles landlord-tenant matters inside the city.

Local tax note: The City of Newburgh collects its own city taxes; the Town of Newburgh's delinquent taxes go to Orange County.

How a cash sale works in Newburgh

You tell us about the house by form, phone or text. John Mills follows up with questions about condition, occupancy, what is owed and your timing, then usually walks the property. You get a written, no-obligation offer. If you accept, each side hires its own attorney (that is standard practice in New York), the contract is signed, a title company searches title and orders payoffs, and the sale closes on the date you pick. You pay off your mortgage and any liens out of the sale proceeds at closing, not out of pocket.

Court and county offices for Newburgh sellers

Newburgh is in Orange County. Foreclosure cases are heard in the New York State Supreme Court, Orange County in Goshen, with a mandatory settlement conference for owner-occupied homes, and you can generally still sell until the foreclosure sale. Estates go through the Orange County Surrogate's Court in Goshen, and deeds are recorded with the Orange County Clerk in Goshen. See our Orange County page for more on the county's tax foreclosure process.

Is a cash offer right for you?

Not always. A move-in-ready home with time on its side usually does better on the open market. Our offer is priced for the house as it stands, so it is typically below full retail. Sellers choose a direct sale for certainty, speed, privacy and skipping repairs. We encourage you to get a listing agent's opinion and talk to your attorney so you can compare real numbers.

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