We Buy HousesRochester, NY

Yes — NCB actively purchases homes throughout Monroe County and greater Rochester. The drive from our Cheektowaga office to downtown Rochester is 75 miles on I-90 and our team makes it regularly. We are not a franchise or national iBuyer. We are a locally owned WNY LLC with 13 years and 300+ verified closings across Erie and Niagara County, now buying in Monroe County. We bring the same process, the same capital, and the same licensed team to every Rochester transaction. Call (585) 332-7005.

Rochester requires a POS inspection by the Bureau of Inspection and Compliance Services (BICS) at 30 Church Street before any residential property can transfer. The inspector documents all code violations — structural, electrical, plumbing, heating, egress. A financed buyer’s lender won’t approve a mortgage on a property with unresolved violations, which kills traditional sales on properties in rough condition. NCB buys Rochester properties with open POS violations. We factor violations into our offer and handle BICS compliance after we own the property. You repair nothing before closing.

Standard close is 7–14 days from signed purchase agreement to cash at closing. For urgent Monroe County situations — tax foreclosure deadline, probate with a court date, or a seller who needs to move — we have closed in under 10 days. We close through a licensed Monroe County title company. The title company runs the full search — liens, back taxes, open POS violations, judgments — and handles all payoffs at closing. Call (585) 332-7005 immediately if you have a Monroe County deadline.

Yes. If the estate is in active probate at Monroe County Surrogate’s Court at 99 Exchange Boulevard, Rochester NY 14614, NCB works directly with the executor or administrator and the estate’s attorney. We can sign a purchase contract while the estate is still in probate — the closing date is set around the court’s approval timeline. If Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration have been issued, we can close in 7–14 days. Out-of-state executors handling Rochester properties remotely are one of our most common situations.

Yes. NCB buys tenant-occupied properties throughout Monroe County without requiring eviction or vacant possession before closing. New York tenant protections are strong — existing leases transfer with the property. Active non-payment situations, problem tenants, ongoing eviction proceedings — we handle all of it. The tenant situation factors into the offer; it does not prevent the sale. See our Landlord Resource Center →

None. We are 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, net of any existing liens or mortgage payoffs handled at closing. Closing costs are negotiable and disclosed upfront in the written offer — no surprises at the title company table.

Four factors: the property’s current as-is condition as we see it at the in-person walkthrough; comparable sales in the specific Rochester neighborhood or Monroe County suburb; estimated repair and update costs; and our carrying cost while we hold or improve. A Greece ranch and a Corn Hill Victorian are completely different assessments. We never price remotely. We explain every number before you commit to anything. No obligation until you sign a purchase contract.
