Your Hempstead house, a fair cash price, no runaround.
The Town of Hempstead is a big place. We focus on the village and West Hempstead: two-family or single, tenants in place or long gone, open violations or none at all. We buy those houses exactly as they are, with a written cash offer in your hands within 24 hours. Close quickly, or wait until you're ready.
Probate, tenant-occupied, storm damage, pre-foreclosure. A six-bedroom on Princeton Street. A five-bedroom on Flint Avenue. A three-bedroom on Carolina Avenue.
I highly recommend the company for their hassle-free home-selling experience. Their team was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to my family's needs. They provided a fair cash offer without pressure and respected our decision. They handled everything, and the sale closed quickly.

What this looks like in Hempstead specifically
Hempstead is roughly 59,169 people in Nassau County, ZIP 11550, and the housing stock is mostly colonial, cape cod, tudor. Around Fulton Avenue and Main Street, most of it is old enough that the mechanicals are on their second or third life. The Hempstead stop pulls buyers who commute, which supports the good houses and does very little for the ones that need a roof. We know which of these streets take water, where the older systems fail first, and what the Hempstead Union Free School District does to a resale price.
The median is up 6.02% year over year as of 2026-05. A firming market gives you a little room for error on price, which is worth more than it sounds when the house is not in showable condition. At a $660,000 median, Hempstead is a market where buyers expect to do some work. That helps a seller with a dated house and hurts one with a genuinely broken one, because the pool that will take on a project is not the same pool that will take on a gut. Houses here take a median of 57 days to go from listed to under contract, and that clock only starts once the property is ready to show.
Most people who call us are not just moving
They are selling because of something else that happened. An estate, a tenant who stopped paying, a house nobody has lived in since a parent went into care. These are the situations we see most often in Hempstead.
Foreclosure & debt
Missed payments, a foreclosure notice, liens, back taxes or bankruptcy.

On a house we start from the end: what it sells for once the work is done. From that we take away the cost of the work and a margin for the chance that we have misjudged either one. That is the whole method. Nothing is hidden in it.
- What it is worth repaired. Not the Hempstead median of $660,000 on its own, but what houses like yours on your street actually closed at recently.
- What the work costs. Roof, boiler, electric, the kitchen and bath. In Hempstead the stock is largely colonial and cape cod, and on houses that age the mechanicals are usually the expensive part rather than the cosmetics.
- How long we will hold it. The median Hempstead house goes under contract in about 57 days once it is showable, then waits 45 to 60 days more on the buyer's lender. Ours has to get to showable first, and we carry taxes and insurance across the whole of it.
- What we are wrong about. Walls and floors hide things until they come up. We price for that uncertainty, and it accounts for much of the distance between a cash offer and a retail price.
How we can pay this and still make it work
Most cash buyers skip this part. We do not. We run millions of dollars of construction a year, so we buy materials at contractor prices and keep our crews busy all year. The same renovation costs us roughly half of what you would be quoted as a homeowner.
That difference is how we make money. It is also why renovating before you sell seldom comes out ahead: you would pay retail for the roof and the boiler and then hope a buyer pays you back for them. Most of the time they do not. Our margin comes from building for less, not from buying from you for less.
If our number does not work for you, tell us. We would much rather hear it than push. We will go through your situation and give you a straight view of your options, including the ones that leave us out. A lot of people do better listing with an agent, and if you are one of them we will tell you now rather than have you find out later.
How selling to us works in Hempstead
- 1
You give us the address
The street address in 11550 and a sentence or two about the condition, by phone or the form. No photos needed, and nothing has to be cleaned or repaired first.
- 2
We walk through it once
A single visit by one person, normally under thirty minutes. With a colonial or cape cod built when most of Hempstead was, the roof, heating and electric matter far more to us than the kitchen does.
- 3
A written offer within 24 hours
One figure, in writing, inside 24 hours. Not a range. Show it to a Nassau County agent if you want a second view; if the house is already in good enough shape to list, an agent may get you more, and we will say so.
- 4
You pick the closing date
Fast if you need fast, or months out if you are waiting on probate, a tenant, or somewhere to move to. Either way you skip the 102 to 117 days a listed Hempstead house spends finding a buyer and then waiting on that buyer's mortgage.
What the two paths cost in Hempstead
Work it against Hempstead's own numbers. The median sale here is $660,000. A 5% commission on that is $33,000, and seller closing costs of about 2% add roughly $13,200. Those are costs we can cover on our side. That is $46,200 gone before anyone counts the repairs it took to get the house listable.
There are two waits in a listed sale and people usually only count the first. In Hempstead the median house takes about 57 days to go from listed to a signed contract. Then it waits again, typically 45 to 60 days, while the buyer's lender orders an appraisal and underwrites the loan. Call it 102 to 117 days from sign to keys, assuming nothing goes wrong.
The part worth understanding is what a signed contract actually guarantees, which is less than most sellers assume. A retail buyer with a mortgage contingency can walk away right up to the end. If they do not qualify, if the appraisal comes in under the price, if they change their mind and let the financing lapse. A share of deals die exactly there, after months of waiting, and the house goes back on the market with time on it. We are not borrowing anything, so there is no lender to satisfy, no appraisal to come in low and no contingency to exercise.
| Listing with an agent | Selling to us | |
|---|---|---|
| Sale price | $660,000 (Hempstead median) | Our written offer |
| Commission | −$33,000 | None |
| Seller closing costs | −$13,200 | We can cover them |
| Repairs before listing | Out of pocket | None |
| Cleanout | Yours | Ours |
| Showings | Until it sells | One visit |
| Listed to signed contract | 57 days (Hempstead median, once listable) | 24 hours to a written offer |
| Contract to closing | 45 to 60 days (waiting on the buyer's lender) | A date you choose |
| Total wait | 102 to 117 days if nothing falls through | Yours to set |
| Can the buyer walk? | Yes (mortgage contingency runs to the end) | No financing to fall through |
| Before repairs and carrying | $613,800 | The number we put in writing |
The agent column uses a 5% commission and about 2% of seller closing costs, which are typical rather than fixed. It leaves out repairs and holding costs because no two houses are alike there. Where a house is in good condition, listing with a capable agent can beat our number, and we will be upfront if that is the case.

Common questions
Do you actually buy in Hempstead, or is this a national site?
Nassau and Suffolk County are the only places we buy, and we have no plans to expand past Long Island. A buyer who operates in fifty states does not know what your street is worth.
Is there any obligation?
None. The visit is free, the written offer is free, and if you say no we do not call you again. There is no follow-up campaign.
Do I need to repair or clean anything first?
No. Take what you want out of the house and leave everything else where it is, including furniture. Clearing it is our cost.
Will you pay what my house is worth?
We pay below what a fully renovated house on your street sells for, because we are buying it unrenovated and carrying it while it is fixed. We will show you exactly how we got to the number, and if listing with an agent would net you more we will tell you that instead.
How fast can you close?
Close quickly, or wait until you're ready. Some people need three weeks. Some are waiting on probate or a tenant and need three months. The closing date is a term you set, not something a lender dictates.
