There are exactly two ways to sell a house: to someone borrowing the money, or to someone who has it. The first path involves banks, appraisers, and a month and a half of hoping. The second involves a walkthrough and a closing date. For Ontario County homeowners who value certainty, or simply can't afford a busted escrow, the second path exists, and it's more competitive than most people think. With 112,625 residents and median home values around $223,000, Ontario County sees this exact situation constantly; you're not the outlier you feel like.

How financed deals fall apart (and who pays for it)

Roughly one in five pending home sales nationally hits a serious snag before closing, and the seller always eats the delay. The buyer's appraisal comes in light and they demand a price cut. The inspection report becomes a renegotiation. The lender tightens a requirement in underwriting. Every one of these is routine in a financed sale, and every one costs you weeks, money, or the whole deal.

A cash purchase deletes the two biggest killers outright: there is no appraisal contingency because there is no lender requiring one, and there is no financing contingency because there is no financing. What remains, title and the buyer's walkthrough, is measured in days. That's why cash closings in Ontario County routinely happen inside two weeks.

Closing a cash sale in New York

New York's state transfer tax is 0.4%, but NYC adds 1%-1.425% plus the mansion tax starting at 1% over $1 million, city sellers face some of the highest transfer costs in the U.S. In a typical network cash purchase, the buyer covers standard closing costs, there are no lender fees because there is no lender, and no commissions because there are no agents. For a Ontario County seller, the practical result is simple: the offer number and the check number match.

Why sellers choose cash, beyond speed

Think of a cash offer as a price with insurance built in. You're trading the theoretical top of the market for a guaranteed number on a guaranteed date, with zero repair spend and zero commission. Depending on your house's condition and your carrying costs, that trade is frequently better than it looks, and sometimes it isn't a trade at all.

  • Local buyers who already know your market, not a national call center
  • Proof-of-funds verified before a buyer ever contacts you
  • Zero obligation: get the offer, compare it to listing, decide on your terms
  • No agent commissions, no closing-cost surprises: the offer you accept is the number you get

Sell for Cash: your questions, answered

How much below market value are cash offers?

It depends almost entirely on condition. A house needing $60,000 of work will see offers well under its fixed-up value, because the buyer funds that work. A clean, livable house draws offers much closer to market. The honest comparison is the cash offer versus your listing price minus commissions, repairs, concessions, and months of carrying costs; run that math before judging any offer.

How do I know a "cash buyer" actually has the cash?

Ask for proof of funds, a bank statement or letter showing liquid money, before signing anything. Every buyer in our network provides this to us as a condition of membership, so a match through Fast Local Buyers comes pre-verified. Be wary of any buyer who dodges the request or whose contract contains a broad "assignment" clause; that's often a wholesaler, not a purchaser.

Do cash sales still use a title company?

Yes, a legitimate cash sale in New York closes exactly like any other: a title company or attorney searches the title, holds funds in escrow, pays off your mortgage and liens, and records the deed. If a "buyer" suggests skipping title or paying you outside escrow, walk away. Speed never requires cutting those corners.

When do I actually receive the money?

At closing, via wire or cashier's check from the title company, often the same day the deed records. From accepted offer to funds, a typical network transaction in Ontario County runs 7-14 days, with title work being the main variable. Compare that to 45-60 days for a financed sale that might not close at all.

What happens after I submit the form?

Three steps: we confirm the property details (a short call or text), match it with the vetted Ontario County buyer best suited to it, and that buyer presents a written no-obligation cash offer, typically within 24 hours. If you accept, they open title and you pick the closing date. Total time from form to funds can be under two weeks.

Are there any fees or commissions?

No. Fast Local Buyers charges sellers nothing; we're compensated by the buyer network, not by you. There are no agent commissions (typically 5-6% in a traditional sale) and the buyer covers standard closing costs in a typical transaction. The offer you accept is the amount you should expect at closing, less your mortgage payoff and any liens.
