Sell your Yonkers house fast for cash

We buy houses in Yonkers, NY

If you are thinking "I need to sell my house fast in Yonkers," 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 Yonkers, including Getty Square, Ludlow, Park Hill, Nodine Hill, Crestwood, Bryn Mawr, Dunwoodie, Lincoln Park and Northwest Yonkers.

Yonkers homes and the sellers we work with

Yonkers is the largest city in Westchester and has a deep stock of two- and three-family houses, many with tenants who have been there for years. Sellers we hear from in Yonkers are often landlords who are tired of managing units, heirs of a parent's house in Park Hill or Ludlow, or owners facing a Department of Housing and Buildings violation they can't afford to fix.

Much of southwest Yonkers sits on steep streets running down to the Hudson and the Saw Mill River, and many lots have retaining walls, shared driveways or old sewer laterals that a buyer's inspector will flag. In two- and three-family houses we frequently see separate meters that were never installed, attic or basement units without a certificate of occupancy, and rent-stabilized units in larger buildings, which a new owner has to honor. If you are selling a house with family members still living upstairs, we can talk through a move-out date that works for everyone. Closings for Yonkers houses are often handled by attorneys right in the county, and Yonkers City Court is where any landlord-tenant matter would be heard.

Local tax note: Yonkers collects its own property taxes, so delinquent taxes on a Yonkers house are handled by the City of Yonkers, not the county.

What selling to us looks like in Yonkers

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.

Court and county offices for Yonkers sellers

Yonkers 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.

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.
