Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can I sell my house in Brooklyn?

With a cash buyer: 7 to 21 days from accepted offer to closing. As-is or MLS listing: 55 to 90+ days depending on submarket — Brooklyn moves slower than Nassau or Suffolk because of co-ops, multi-family transactions, and higher price points requiring larger mortgages.

Do I have to make repairs before selling in Brooklyn?

No. A cash buyer allows you to sell without making a single repair — no board package, no renovations. The net proceeds gap after subtracting repair costs, commissions, transfer taxes, and carrying costs is often smaller than homeowners expect.

Can I sell if I am behind on mortgage payments?

Yes. The outstanding mortgage balance is paid off from sale proceeds at closing. Brooklyn foreclosures run through Kings County Supreme Court — the busiest civil term in New York State — so acting early matters even more here than in a lower-volume county.

What is the difference between a cash offer and listing with a realtor?

A cash offer closes in 7 to 21 days with no repairs, no commissions, and no board approval delays. A realtor listing takes 60 to 90+ days, costs 5 to 6% in commission, plus New York's transfer tax stack (NYS transfer tax plus NYC RPTT). The right comparison is net proceeds, not offer price.

Can a cash buyer close fast enough to stop foreclosure in Brooklyn?

In most pre-foreclosure situations, yes. A verified cash buyer can close in 10 to 21 days — faster than any stage of the foreclosure timeline except the final days before a scheduled auction at Kings County Supreme Court, 360 Adams Street.

How does selling an inherited house work in Brooklyn?

The executor must first receive Letters Testamentary from the Kings County Surrogate's Court, which requires NYSCEF electronic filing for most proceedings. For a standard uncontested estate, this takes 7 to 12 months. Cash buyers can structure the closing date to align with the estate's timeline.

Can my landlord evict me if they are selling the property?

No. Selling a property is not a legally permissible reason to evict a tenant in New York. The tenant's lease — including rent-stabilized leases — transfers to the new owner at closing under the existing terms.

How long does it take to close on a house in Brooklyn?

With a financed buyer: 30 to 45 days from accepted offer. With a cash buyer: 7 to 21 days. Co-op sales add 2 to 4 weeks for board approval on top of either timeline.
