Frequently Asked Questions

Is the cash offer really no obligation?

Yes. Our cash offer comes with zero obligation to accept. We present the number, walk you through our reasoning, and you decide. There’s no pressure, no deadline, and no cost if you decline. We’ve had sellers come back 6 months later and we honored the spirit of the original conversation. Take the time you need.

How do you determine what to offer for my house?

We evaluate the property’s current condition, its location within the local market, recent comparable sales, and the cost of any repairs or updates the property needs. We are transparent about every factor — if you ask how we got to our number, we’ll show you. We are not in the business of lowball offers that waste everyone’s time.

Do I need to be present for the walkthrough?

You or a representative should be available, but we can work with whatever access you can provide. For out-of-state sellers managing an estate or inherited property, we can conduct virtual walkthroughs via video call. We’ve closed deals on properties where the seller never physically visited during the process.

What happens to the stuff left in the house?

Take what you want. Leave the rest. We handle all cleanout after closing at no charge to you. This is especially helpful for estate sales, hoarding situations, and sellers relocating quickly. You are never required to remove a single item before we close.

Do you charge any fees or closing costs?

We charge no fees or commissions. Closing costs vary by situation — in many cases we cover them, especially when a seller needs additional flexibility. We discuss all closing cost details before you sign anything. The offer we present is transparent and complete.

Can I back out after accepting the offer?

You should review any agreement with an attorney before signing. Our purchase agreements are standard real estate contracts that protect both parties. We encourage you to have legal counsel review anything before you sign. We want this to be a transaction you feel completely confident about.

What if my house has title issues or liens?

Title issues and liens are common and almost always resolvable. We’ve closed transactions with tax liens, judgment liens, HOA arrears, and complex title situations. Our title company handles the clearance — often the liens are paid off at closing from the proceeds so you don’t need to bring cash to the table.

How is this different from iBuyers like Opendoor or Offerpad?

iBuyers are national algorithms that buy in specific markets with specific criteria — they won’t touch a property with condition issues, title complications, or unusual situations. Nickel City Buyers is a local Buffalo company that has been in this market since 2013. We buy the properties national platforms won’t. We also close much faster and don’t layer in service fees that can eat 5-8% of your proceeds.
