Whatever Brought
You Here —
We’ve Seen It.
We Can Help.

We handle every type of difficult property situation across Buffalo and Western New York — foreclosure, pre-foreclosure, Sheriff Sale (both Erie and Niagara County), inherited properties, divorce, fire damage, code violations, selling as-is, back taxes, rental properties with tenants, hoarder properties, and probate. We have 13 dedicated situation pages covering every scenario in depth. If your situation isn’t listed, call us at (716) 557-7005 — we’ve likely handled it before.

Absolutely not. We buy houses in any condition across all of Western New York — fire damage, code violations, hoarder situations, structural issues, decades of deferred maintenance, full of belongings. You walk away. We handle everything after closing at no cost to you. The entire point of selling to a cash buyer is that you skip the repairs, skip the cleanup, and skip the showings entirely.

We can close in as little as 7 days for a standard transaction. For urgent situations — Sheriff Sale dates in Erie County (92 Franklin St, Buffalo) or Niagara County (175 Hawley St, Lockport) — we can close in as little as 48 hours if the title is clean. Most closings happen in 14–21 days. You choose the date that works best for your situation.

Yes. When you sell to Nickel City Buyers there are no closing costs, no agent commissions, and no hidden fees. What we offer is what you receive at closing. We also pay off any outstanding liens, back taxes, or Erie County and Niagara County municipal charges from the sale proceeds — you don’t pay anything out of pocket.

We are local — 100%. Nickel City Buyers, LLC has been buying homes in Buffalo and Western New York since 2013. We are based at 3842 Harlem Rd STE 400-339, Cheektowaga, NY 14215. We know the difference between a South Buffalo double, a Cheektowaga ranch, and a Niagara Falls two-family. We’ve purchased 300+ homes across Erie and Niagara County and our reputation is built entirely on WNY transactions — not a national franchise model.

Complex situations are exactly what we specialize in. Multiple liens and back taxes are resolved at closing from the sale proceeds. Estate and probate properties require working with attorneys — we’ve done it hundreds of times across Erie and Niagara County courts. Rental properties with tenants can be purchased with occupants in place — no eviction required. Call us at (716) 557-7005 and describe your situation — we’ll tell you honestly whether and how we can help.

A cash sale to Nickel City Buyers records as a standard real estate transaction — it does not trigger a foreclosure flag on your credit report. A completed foreclosure in Erie or Niagara County stays on your credit report for 7 years and can prevent you from renting or buying again for 5–7 years. Selling before foreclosure is completed is one of the most important financial decisions a distressed Buffalo homeowner can make. Learn more about short sale vs. foreclosure →
