Port Chester homes and the sellers we work with

Port Chester is a village within the Town of Rye, with dense blocks of older two- and multifamily houses close to the Greenwich border. Overcrowding and illegal-conversion code issues come up, and those can make a traditional sale with a financed buyer difficult.

Port Chester sits between Rye Brook and the Connecticut line, and many of its streets were built up before zoning, which leaves houses with tight setbacks, shared walls and additions that never received permits. Lenders and appraisers often struggle with illegal extra units, and buyers may be scared off by open village violations. We are comfortable buying with those issues unresolved. Because Port Chester is a village, eviction cases are generally heard in the Port Chester Village Justice Court.

Local tax note: Port Chester is a village, so a house there gets both village and Town of Rye/school tax bills.

How a cash sale works in Port Chester

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 Port Chester sellers

Port Chester is in Westchester County. Foreclosure cases are heard in the New York State Supreme Court, Westchester County (also in White Plains), with a mandatory settlement conference for owner-occupied homes, and you can generally still sell until the foreclosure sale. Estates go through the Westchester County Surrogate's Court at 111 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. in White Plains, and deeds are recorded with the Westchester County Clerk. See our Westchester 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 Westchester County and the rest of the Hudson Valley.
