Some “buyers” are wholesalers who assign your contract to a third party after you sign. NCB uses its own capital — every transaction, every time. No assignment, no mystery buyer at the closing table.
Every legitimate WNY real estate transaction closes through a licensed Erie or Niagara County title company. NCB closes through a local Erie County title company — no exceptions. If they can’t name one, walk away.
Anyone can set up a website. NCB has 300+ verified closings in Erie and Niagara County since 2013. Ask for a track record, not just a claim. Check BBB, Google, and county records.
The Better Business Bureau is the fastest way to verify a local company’s complaint history and accreditation. NCB holds an A+ BBB rating with zero complaints on record. Verify any buyer at bbb.org before signing.
Erie County’s in rem tax foreclosure, RPAPL §1304 pre-foreclosure notices, OBI code enforcement, and Surrogate’s Court timelines are WNY-specific. NCB has operated within these systems since 2013. A national algorithm doesn’t know your Board of Assessment Review date.

How do I know if a cash buffalo buyer is legitimate?
Most cash buyers are legitimate — but verification matters before you sign anything. Red flags: pressure to sign immediately, no physical address, no BBB listing, no local title company named, or a buyer who “assigns” your contract to someone else. NCB’s record is fully verifiable: 3842 Harlem Rd STE 400-339, Cheektowaga, NY 14215 · A+ BBB at bbb.org · 33 Google reviews · 300+ Erie and Niagara County closings · 13 years in the Buffalo market · local Erie County title company every time.

How much do cash buyers in Buffalo pay for houses?
Cash offers are based on the property’s current as-is condition, location, recent comparable sales in Erie or Niagara County, and estimated costs to repair or resell. NCB is transparent about every factor — we show our math. Cash offers are typically below retail market value, but the tradeoff is speed, certainty, zero repairs, zero commissions, and no financing contingency risk. For most sellers in financial distress, time pressure, or with a difficult property, that tradeoff is worth it. Call (716) 557-7005 for an honest no-obligation assessment.
Can cash buyers in Buffalo handle liens, back taxes, and probate?
Yes — NCB specializes in exactly these situations. All liens (property tax, IRS, judgment, HOA, mechanic’s), back taxes under New York Real Property Tax Law (RPTL), mortgage balances, and probate timelines are all handled at or before closing. See the Financial Distress Resource Center and Probate Resource Center for full breakdowns.
