1. Who exactly is Sell My House in Queens?
Sell My House in Queens is a local home-buying team that helps homeowners in Queens and Long Island sell fast without repairs, showings, or commissions. And because we actually live and work here, we know the neighborhoods better than anyone online.
2. What makes your company different from every other buyer in Queens and Long Island?
We’re licensed real-estate and mortgage experts who give real numbers based on Queens and Long Island market data, not guesswork. Plus, we actually show up, which—trust me—matters in this industry.
3. Is working with a cash home-buying company like yours a good move for someone selling on Long Island or Queens?
It’s smart for sellers who want a fast, low-stress exit because they can’t deal with repairs, delays, or buyers backing out. And on Long Island or Queens, where homes can sit on the market for weeks, a guaranteed sale can be a relief.
4. Why should homeowners in Queens or Long Island trust your team over other investors or agents?
We’re licensed, local, and transparent. You’ll get an offer based on comps in Jamaica, Ozone Park, Astoria, and nearby areas, not a lowball number. Still, we’ll tell you upfront if listing on the MLS would make you more money.
5. Do you only buy homes in Queens and Long Island, or do you cover other areas too?
Our main focus is Queens and Long Island—including Flushing, Bayside, Forest Hills, and Nassau—but we’ll look at properties anywhere in the New York metro if it’s a good fit. So yes, there’s some flexibility.
6. What kinds of properties in Queens and Long Island are you actually looking to buy?
We buy single-family homes, multi-families, distressed properties, tenant-occupied houses, and inherited estates. If it’s in Queens or Long Island and you don’t want the hassle, we’ll take a look.
7. Are there any extra costs, fees, or commissions when I sell my house to you?
Nope—there are no agent commissions, no closing fees, and no hidden charges. You get a straight number, and that’s the number you walk away with.
8. If my home is already listed with a realtor, can I still work with you?
You can, but you’ll need to check your listing agreement since your agent may still be owed a commission. Still, many sellers reach out when the listing stalls and want a backup option.
9. How fast can you close if I sell to Sell My House in Queens?
Most closings wrap up in 7–14 days, depending on attorney schedules and title work. And if you need more time, we’re fine closing on your timeline.
10. Will you list my home on the MLS, or are you the direct buyer?
We’re the direct buyer, not your listing agent. And that means no open houses, no cleaning, no waiting for mortgage approvals.
11. Do you make fair, honest offers on homes?
Yes! Our offers are based on local comps, the home’s condition, repair costs, investor carrying costs, and current days-on-market in Queens and Long Island. And if listing would make you more money, we’ll tell you straight.
12. How do you figure out the cash offer for my property?
We look at recent sales in your neighborhood, estimate repairs, factor in today’s market speed, and calculate what an investor can realistically take on.
13. Is there any commitment on my end when I reach out?
Nope, reaching out doesn’t lock you into anything. It’s just a conversation so you can see your options, and you decide what happens next.
