At Sold First, we offer a unique approach that sets us apart from traditional agents or house buyers. As both real estate investors and licensed, reputable agents, we are able to provide you with a wide range of options to help you achieve your objectives when selling your Syracuse house.

*An inspection contingency is a crucial part of the home buying process. It allows the buyer to conduct a thorough inspection of the property and potentially renegotiate the terms or back out of the sale if significant repairs are needed. This contingency protects the buyer’s interests and ensures that they are not stuck with a property that requires extensive repairs. On the other hand, a financing contingency provides the buyer with an opportunity to back out of the purchase if they are unable to secure a loan or if the home doesn’t appraise for the necessary value. This contingency safeguards the buyer from any financial risks associated with the purchase and allows them to explore other financing options if needed.

Here at Sold First, we don’t use bank financing, so you don’t have to worry about our ability to close on a deal.

Work The Numbers And See Which Way Helps You Get There…

When you really work the numbers you start to see the real benefits that each way of selling your NY house offers.

Here at Sold First, we will work with you to determine which approach is best for your goals. We can either make you an immediate cash offer, or we can put our experience and expertise to work and list your house on the market for top dollar.

If selling to us for cash, we won’t be able to offer you full retail value for your house, but we also offer other benefits that the traditional house sale route can’t offer.

24 hours offer

From offer to close and cash in your hand in as little as 7 days.

You can get rid of the headache of that property fast and avoid paying any more utility payments, tax payments, insurance payments, or mortgage payments… you get the drill. If you list your house and wait 90+ days to close, you have to figure in all of the costs of holding that property during the time you have it listed and are waiting to close.

any condition

Don’t worry about fixing anything or cleaning your house again and again for buyer after buyer.

We don’t care how dirty your house is (we’ve seen worse!) or how many repairs are needed (a complete fixer? Great! We love projects). We want to make an offer on your house no matter what the condition. This saves you time and money that you can keep in your pocket.

Don’t worry about paying those pesky closing fees (we’ve got you covered).

Because we are a full-service professional home buyer in NY, we make it easy for you. We pay for all of the closing costs! What we offer you is what you get (of course minus any mortgage payoff or other encumbrances on the property). Pretty refreshing, eh?


So when you add up the time you could save by working with Sold First, the no-hassle experience, and the money you’ll save on commissions, fees, and holding costs while you wait to sell the traditional route, for many Syracuse area home owners selling to a professional house buyer is the best viable option. And if it’s not, we have you covered there as well!
