Buffalo, NY
As-is, any condition. A cash number over the phone, usually within 24 hours.
Lovejoy is an east-side neighborhood with dense pre-war housing, narrow lots and a long working-class history tied to the rail and steel industries.
Small wood-frame houses and doubles, most built before 1930, almost all with original wiring and plumbing somewhere in the building. Foundations are typically stone or early poured concrete with water intrusion issues. Values here are low enough that a full renovation rarely pencils for a retail seller.
Heirs and long-held family property, plus landlords exiting. The repair-to-value ratio is the defining feature — the work almost always costs more than the finished house is worth on the open market.

Yes. Lovejoy is one of the Buffalo neighborhoods we actively buy in, and we price it on Lovejoy sales rather than metro-wide averages.
No — it's usually why people call. We price the condition into the offer up front rather than finding it at inspection and asking for a discount.
Resale value after repairs, minus repair cost, minus our holding and resale costs, minus our margin. We show you each piece so you can argue with it.
If the house is in good shape and you have a few months, probably yes, and we'll tell you so. We're the better option when repairs are expensive, the timeline is fixed, or the situation is complicated.
No obligation. If listing would net you more, we'll tell you that instead.
