The House Needs to Go.
We Make That Simple.
Divorce is complicated enough. The house doesn’t have to be. Nickel City Buyers buys houses during divorce proceedings in Buffalo and Western New York — fast, private, and without adding more to your plate.
Completely private and discreet. We don’t list the property, put signs in the yard, or broadcast your situation. Everything stays between us — no agents, no open houses, no public record of the sale until closing.
One Less Thing
to Fight About.
When a marriage ends, the marital home becomes the most complicated asset in the room. It carries equity, memories, and often — disagreement. The longer it sits on the market, the more expensive and emotionally exhausting the process becomes.
A cash sale removes the house from the equation quickly. No showings to coordinate between two parties who don’t want to coordinate. No agent who becomes a third party in an already stressful situation. No financing contingencies that drag out for 60 to 90 days while attorneys bill by the hour.
We’ve worked with Buffalo area families going through divorce many times since 2013. We understand the need for speed, privacy, and a clean transaction that both parties can accept and move on from.
Cash purchase, no bank financing. We close as fast as 7 days — or on whatever court-ordered timeline applies.
No agent fees, no buyer fees. The offer is what both parties receive — nothing deducted beyond any agreed liens or back taxes.
One visit. No open houses, no repeated showings, no strangers walking through your home for weeks.
Since 2013, including many divorce and court-ordered sales across Erie and Niagara County.
“Two keys. Two people. One clean transaction.”
We’ve helped Buffalo families turn one of the hardest moments in their lives into a clean, fast, private real estate transaction. No drama added by us. Just a fair cash offer and a path forward for both parties.

Every Divorce Situation
If a judge has ordered the property sold, we work within court timelines and can coordinate directly with your attorneys to ensure the transaction meets legal requirements.
Both parties agree to sell — but don’t want the hassle of listing, showings, and negotiations. We make one offer both parties can evaluate together and close on your timeline.
When one spouse needs liquidity quickly — to secure new housing, pay legal fees, or settle other obligations — we can close as fast as 7 days once both parties agree.
Nobody wants to coordinate repairs during a divorce. We buy the property exactly as it stands — no repairs, no staging, no cleaning required from either party.
If payments have fallen behind during the divorce process, we can work with your lender and pay off outstanding obligations at closing so both parties walk away clean.
We do a single walkthrough at a mutually agreed time. We don’t require the property to be vacant before closing — we coordinate sensitively with whoever is in the home.
Simple. Fast. Done.
One Call or Form Submission
Either party can initiate contact — or both together. Tell us the situation, the property address, and any relevant court timeline. We treat all information confidentially.
One Walkthrough, One Offer
We schedule a single walkthrough at a convenient time. Within 24 hours we present a written cash offer — transparent, no obligation, reviewed by both parties and their attorneys.
We Handle All Paperwork
We coordinate with your respective attorneys and the title company. We manage the transaction so neither party has to deal with each other more than necessary.
Proceeds Split. Done.
Closing happens at a title company. Proceeds are distributed per your divorce agreement. The house is sold, the asset is resolved, and both parties can move forward.

Divorce Property FAQ — Buffalo NY
Do both spouses need to agree to sell to you?
Yes — both parties with ownership interest must agree to the sale, or a court order must authorize it. We cannot proceed without both parties’ consent or legal authorization. Once there is agreement, we can move very quickly. We’ve worked with both amicable divorces and court-ordered sales across Erie County.
Can you work with our divorce attorneys?
Yes. We coordinate directly with both parties’ legal representatives as needed. We provide a written purchase agreement that attorneys can review before anyone signs anything. We’re familiar with the documentation requirements for court-ordered real estate sales in New York State.
How are the sale proceeds divided?
That’s determined by your divorce agreement, court order, or attorney negotiation — not by us. We pay the agreed sale price to the closing title company, and the distribution of proceeds is handled according to your legal agreement. We have no role in deciding how the money is split.
Does the house need to be cleaned out or repaired first?
Never. We buy in any condition, with any contents. Neither party is required to make repairs, clean the property, or remove belongings before closing. We handle everything after closing at no charge to the estate.
What if one spouse is still living in the house?
We schedule a single walkthrough at a mutually agreed time. We treat the situation with complete discretion. We do not require the property to be vacant before closing — we work around the occupant’s schedule and handle the transition sensitively.
How fast can you actually close?
As fast as 7 days once both parties have signed the purchase agreement. If a court order is involved, we close as soon as the order is finalized and we have authorization to proceed. Our cash purchase means there are no bank delays, no financing contingencies, and no mortgage approval waiting periods.
What if there’s a mortgage or liens on the property?
We pay off the existing mortgage and any outstanding liens at closing from the sale proceeds. Both parties walk away with their share of the net equity — whatever remains after the mortgage and any other obligations are satisfied. We review all of this with you transparently before you sign anything.
Is the sale private? We don’t want the divorce publicized.
Yes. We do not list the property on the MLS, place signs in the yard, advertise the sale publicly, or share your information with third parties. The transaction records at the county level as a standard real estate sale — there is no indication in public records that it was divorce-related.
