We Buy HousesBuffalo, NY

Call (716) 557-7005 or submit your address online. We schedule a walkthrough — usually within 48 hours — and make a written cash offer same day or within 24 hours. We know every Buffalo neighborhood: East Side, South Buffalo, West Side, North Buffalo, Black Rock, and Riverside. We also navigate the City of Buffalo housing court and tax foreclosure process, which runs on a completely separate calendar from Erie County. Most closings happen in 2–3 weeks through a local Erie County title company.

Yes — completely as-is. Buffalo’s dominant housing stock is older: 1900–1950 two-families and doubles carrying real maintenance loads, city code violations, aging mechanicals, and deferred repairs. We buy all of it. Leave the furniture, the contents, the open citations. We handle everything after closing including resolving city violations as the new owner at no cost to you.

Yes to both. Delinquent City of Buffalo property taxes and Erie County taxes don’t need to be cleared before we close — they’re paid at closing from sale proceeds. City code violations transfer with ownership and become our responsibility after closing. You bring nothing to the table. We work directly with the City of Buffalo to ensure a clean closing.

The City of Buffalo runs its own annual In-Rem tax foreclosure auction under Section 593 of the City Charter — a completely separate process from Erie County’s RPTL Article 11 in rem foreclosure. Both can be running simultaneously on the same property. NCB has navigated both processes since 2013 and can purchase properties at any stage of either calendar. If you’ve received City of Buffalo In-Rem notices, call (716) 557-7005 immediately — there are deadlines that matter.

None. We’re the buyer, not an agent. No 5–6% commission, no listing fees, no staging costs. The number we agree on is what you walk away with. Closing costs are negotiated transparently — no surprises at the table.

We close in as little as 7 days because we pay cash — no lender, no appraisal, no underwriting delays. Most Buffalo closings go through a local Erie County title company in 2–3 weeks. City of Buffalo tax foreclosure situations may require additional coordination — we handle all of it. We have closed in 48 hours for homeowners facing an imminent Sheriff Sale at 92 Franklin St.

Yes. You do not need to evict tenants before selling. We coordinate walkthroughs with occupants, handle all required NY State tenant notifications after closing, and take over all landlord responsibilities from day one. Buffalo landlord burnout — East Side, West Side, South Buffalo — is one of the most common situations we handle. No eviction required before closing.
