General FAQs
Do cash offers tend to be low?
Collaborating with Handsome Homebuyer is the most convenient way to sell a property. We have helped hundreds of Long Island property owners sell their property at a price they were thrilled to accept.
I need money for a down payment on a new house but will not have access to the funds until I close on my existing house. Can you help?
Yes, we can help. In most cases we can advance our sellers money prior to closing. These funds have been used for moving expenses, security on a rental, or for a down payment on a new house.
I want to sell my house, but I do not know where my next move will be. Can you help?
Absolutely, we structure every sale with the goal of giving our sellers maximum flexibility. We close when and where you would like. In addition, we offer complementary relocation services for all our clients. Whether you are going to buy, rent, stay local, or leave the New York area. Handsome Homebuyer can assist and make that process seamless and stress free.
Do I get to decide what day we close?
Every seller gets to choose what day the closing takes place. Whether you would like to close in a week or in a year we will schedule the closing on the day that works best for you
What if the cash offer you provide does not work for me?
At Handsome Homebuyer we offer different solutions for every seller that contacts us. Once we view the property and assess your needs, we will make recommendations as to which options we feel are the best fit.
Estate & Probate FAQs
I inherited a house; do I have to bring the property through the probate process before I am able to sell?
No, you do not need to complete the probate process before selling your property. At Handsome Homebuyer we can purchase any property without the heirs completing the probate process. This allows our sellers to save thousands of dollars by not having to maintain the property, pay taxes, and insurance over the 6–12-month probate period.
I am the heir to a house but there is no existing will available. Can I still sell the property?
Yes. Our title company will allow us to purchase a property in situations where the deceased owner did not have a will. Handsome Homebuyer is one of the few companies that offer this service and our sellers love it.
There are multiple people involved in the making the decision on selling our family home. Can you help everyone get on the same page?
It is common for multiple people to be involved in making the decision to sell a property. At Handsome Homebuyer, our goal it to ensure that everyone involved is fully informed and educated on the process of selling. For those reasons, we meet with all decision makers at the same time (in person or virtually) to present options and answer any questions.
Rental Property FAQs
Can I sell my rental property with tenants?
Handsome Homebuyer purchases dozens of properties every year with existing tenants. We will take over the existing lease and, in most cases, continue to rent to the tenants just as you have for years to come.
Can I sell my property with non-paying tenants or a squatter inside?
Handsome Homebuyer purchases dozens of houses each year with non-paying tenants. We will purchase the property and assume the headache of the eviction and any damages.
