Sell your in-probate Rochester house for cash — we buy direct

Houses tied up in probate can still be sold for cash, but the process has more moving parts than a typical sale. We handle probate purchases regularly and are familiar with court confirmations, executor authority, and the state-specific quirks that delay open-market listings.

Lockwood Home Buyers makes cash offers directly to homeowners — no fees, no commissions, and no obligation to accept. We are not a real-estate agent or broker; we buy houses for cash.

How a New York closing works

New York closings customarily involve attorneys for both sides. Cash sales still close far faster than financed ones — typically a few weeks once contracts are signed.

New York’s state transfer tax is $2.00 per $500 of the price (0.4%), paid by the seller; some localities add their own.
