We Normally
Don’t Work
With Wholesalers.
But we’re not closed to JOINT VENTURES — under the right circumstances, with the right deal, and with full legal protections in place. If you’re here to test our boundaries, this isn’t the page for you. If you have a real deal and respect how we operate, keep reading.
About Wholesalers
We Built This the Hard Way
Nickel City Buyers has been acquiring off-market properties in Buffalo and Western New York since 2013. Over 300 homes purchased. A buyers list built over a decade. Seller relationships earned through years of direct mail, skip tracing, and community reputation.
We protect that infrastructure aggressively. We’ve had wholesalers attempt to circumvent deals, contact our buyers directly, and solicit our seller leads. Those experiences are why this page exists.
We’re not anti-wholesaler. We’re pro-integrity. Bring a real deal, respect our terms, sign our NDA, and we can do business. Anything else and we will pursue every legal remedy available.

Five Non-Negotiable Terms
No Circumvention
You may not contact, negotiate with, or transact with any buyer, seller, or party introduced to you through NCB — directly or indirectly — without NCB’s written involvement and consent. Violations are pursued aggressively in civil court.
Confidentiality of Deal Terms
All deal pricing, buyer identities, seller situations, property details, and negotiation terms shared during our JV are strictly confidential. You may not disclose this information to any third party under any circumstance.
No Buyer List Contact
NCB’s cash buyers network is proprietary and strictly confidential. Any direct or indirect contact with buyers on our list — for any purpose — is a material breach of this agreement and grounds for immediate legal action.
Non-Solicitation of Seller Leads
Any seller, homeowner, or motivated-seller lead you become aware of through your relationship with NCB is non-solicitable. You may not market to, contact, or attempt to acquire any such lead independent of NCB for a period of 24 months.
Pipeline Confidentiality
NCB’s acquisition methods, marketing channels, data sources, and pipeline strategy are trade secrets. Any attempt to reverse-engineer, replicate, or disclose these methods constitutes a material breach and grounds for legal action.
⚠ Violations Have Consequences
Nickel City Buyers has been operating in the Buffalo market since 2013. We know this market, we know its players, and we protect our business with the same intensity we used to build it. Violations of our NDA are not overlooked.
Any party found in breach of our JV agreement or NDA will face: immediate termination of all deal flow, forfeiture of any agreed assignment fees, civil litigation for damages including lost profits, legal fees, and injunctive relief, and notification to relevant real estate investor networks and associations in Western New York.
We do not bluff. We do not negotiate after a violation. We act.

From Wholesalers
Why does Nickel City Buyers normally avoid working with wholesalers?+
We’ve built our buyer and seller pipeline over 13+ years of direct acquisition work in Buffalo. Wholesalers who attempt to circumvent investors, contact buyers directly, or solicit seller leads are a real problem in this industry. We’re not anti-wholesaler — we’re protective of what we’ve built. If you operate with integrity, sign our NDA, and bring a real deal, we’ll consider a JV. If you’re looking for shortcuts, this isn’t the right partnership.
What exactly does the NDA require me to agree to?+
Our NDA covers five key areas: no circumvention of NCB on any introduced deal, full confidentiality of deal terms and pricing, no direct contact with our buyers list, non-solicitation of our seller leads for 24 months, and confidentiality of our pipeline and acquisition methods. These are non-negotiable. We will not proceed with any JV discussion until the NDA is signed by all parties.
Do you close on assignment contracts or double closings?+
We close on both assignment contracts and double closings depending on the deal structure and what works best. Have your title company coordinate with ours early in the process — we’re experienced with both structures and can move quickly once the NDA is executed and the deal is confirmed.
How fast can you close on a wholesale deal in Buffalo?+
We can close in as little as 7 days on clean deals with clear title. The typical JV timeline runs 10–14 days to allow for NDA execution, title search, and due diligence. If you have a distressed timeline — foreclosure auction, seller emergency — call us directly at (716) 557-7005 and we’ll tell you immediately if we can hit your deadline.
What happens if someone violates your NDA?+
We pursue it. Violations including circumvention, buyer list contact, or seller solicitation result in immediate termination of all deal flow, forfeiture of any agreed assignment fees, and civil litigation for damages including lost profits and legal fees. We’ve been in this market since 2013 — we know the players, we know the attorneys, and we act decisively when our business is threatened.
Can out-of-state wholesalers submit Buffalo deals?+
Yes. We work with wholesalers from outside New York who have WNY properties under contract. The same NDA terms and buy box criteria apply regardless of where you’re based. Buffalo is a market we know deeply — submit the address and we’ll evaluate quickly.
