How selling to us works in Roosevelt
- 1
Tell us where it is
Just the address in 11575 and roughly what shape it is in. It takes a couple of minutes. Leave the house exactly as it is; we do not need it tidied, photographed or fixed.
- 2
A quick look in person
We visit once and it rarely takes more than half an hour. On the cape cod or colonial houses that make up most of Roosevelt, we check the roof, the boiler and the electric before anything cosmetic.

We put a figure in writing
You have a written number within 24 hours, a single figure rather than a "somewhere around". Feel free to check it with a Nassau County agent. When a house is ready to list as it is, listing can beat us, and we would rather you knew.
- 4
You choose when to close
Soon, or months away if probate, a tenant or your next move has to come first. You also avoid the 96 to 111 days a listed Roosevelt house typically takes to find a buyer and get through the buyer's mortgage.
Most people who call us are not just moving
They are selling because of something else that happened. An estate, a tenant who stopped paying, a house nobody has lived in since a parent went into care. These are the situations we see most often in Roosevelt.
Foreclosure & debt
Missed payments, a foreclosure notice, liens, back taxes or bankruptcy.

Work it against Roosevelt's own numbers. The median sale here is $598,693. A 5% commission on that is $29,935, and seller closing costs of about 2% add roughly $11,974. Those are costs we can cover on our side. That is $41,909 gone before anyone counts the repairs it took to get the house listable.
There are two waits in a listed sale and people usually only count the first. In Roosevelt the median house takes about 51 days to go from listed to a signed contract. Then it waits again, typically 45 to 60 days, while the buyer's lender orders an appraisal and underwrites the loan. Call it 96 to 111 days from sign to keys, assuming nothing goes wrong.
The part worth understanding is what a signed contract actually guarantees, which is less than most sellers assume. A retail buyer with a mortgage contingency can walk away right up to the end. If they do not qualify, if the appraisal comes in under the price, if they change their mind and let the financing lapse. A share of deals die exactly there, after months of waiting, and the house goes back on the market with time on it. We are not borrowing anything, so there is no lender to satisfy, no appraisal to come in low and no contingency to exercise.
| Listing with an agent | Selling to us | |
|---|---|---|
| Sale price | $598,693 (Roosevelt median) | Our written offer |
| Commission | −$29,935 | None |
| Seller closing costs | −$11,974 | We can cover them |
| Repairs before listing | Out of pocket | None |
| Cleanout | Yours | Ours |
| Showings | Until it sells | One visit |
| Listed to signed contract | 51 days (Roosevelt median, once listable) | 24 hours to a written offer |
| Contract to closing | 45 to 60 days (waiting on the buyer's lender) | A date you choose |
| Total wait | 96 to 111 days if nothing falls through | Yours to set |
| Can the buyer walk? | Yes (mortgage contingency runs to the end) | No financing to fall through |
| Before repairs and carrying | $556,784 | The number we put in writing |
The listing column assumes a 5% commission and seller closing costs of about 2%. Both vary. We have not subtracted repairs or the cost of carrying the house while it sits, because those depend on the property. A house in good condition listed with a good agent can absolutely beat a cash offer, and we will say so if that is your situation.
How we arrive at a number
For a house, the starting point is the price once it is fully repaired. We subtract what the repairs cost and then a margin for being wrong about the price or the repairs. No algorithm and no trade secret: that is how the number is built.
- What it is worth repaired. Not the Roosevelt median of $598,693 on its own, but what houses like yours on your street actually closed at recently.
- What the work costs. Roof, boiler, electric, the kitchen and bath. In Roosevelt the stock is largely cape cod and colonial, and on houses that age the mechanicals are usually the expensive part rather than the cosmetics.
- How long we will hold it. The median Roosevelt house goes under contract in about 51 days once it is showable, then waits 45 to 60 days more on the buyer's lender. Ours has to get to showable first, and we carry taxes and insurance across the whole of it.
- What we are wrong about. Every renovation turns up something nobody could see on the walk-through. We build that risk into the price, and it explains a good part of why cash offers come in below retail.
Where our margin actually comes from
Plainly, because buyers are often vague here: we run millions of dollars of construction a year. At that volume we pay contractor prices for materials and keep steady crews working twelve months a year, so a given renovation costs us roughly half of what a homeowner pays for the same job.
That is where our margin is. It is also why fixing the house up yourself first rarely pays off. You would be paying retail for the work and counting on the sale price to cover it, and it usually does not. We earn our money on the construction side, not on the price we pay you.
If the figure does not work, say so; we would rather know than try to talk you round. We will look at what is going on and tell you honestly which options make sense, including the ones without us. Listing with an agent is the better route for plenty of sellers, and we will tell you if it is yours.
What this looks like in Roosevelt specifically
Roosevelt is roughly 18,066 people in Nassau County, ZIP 11575, and the housing stock is mostly cape cod, colonial, ranch. Around Nassau Road and the Meadowbrook State Parkway, most of it is old enough that the mechanicals are on their second or third life. We have been buying across Nassau County for 15+ years. We know what the Roosevelt Union Free School District does to a resale price, which blocks still have oil tanks in the ground, and what a house like yours is actually worth here.
The median is down 11.3% year over year as of 2026-10. In a market going backwards the properties that sit longest are the ones needing work, and each month on the market makes the next price reduction more likely. At a $598,693 median, Roosevelt is a market where buyers expect to do some work. That helps a seller with a dated house and hurts one with a genuinely broken one, because the pool that will take on a project is not the same pool that will take on a gut. Houses here take a median of 51 days to go from listed to under contract, and that clock only starts once the property is ready to show.

Common questions
Do you actually buy in Roosevelt, or is this a national site?
Nassau and Suffolk County are the only places we buy, and we have no plans to expand past Long Island. A buyer who operates in fifty states does not know what your street is worth.
Is there any obligation?
None. The visit is free, the written offer is free, and if you say no we do not call you again. There is no follow-up campaign.
Do I need to repair or clean anything first?
No. Take what you want out of the house and leave everything else where it is, including furniture. Clearing it is our cost.
Will you pay what my house is worth?
We pay below what a fully renovated house on your street sells for, because we are buying it unrenovated and carrying it while it is fixed. We will show you exactly how we got to the number, and if listing with an agent would net you more we will tell you that instead.
How fast can you close?
Close quickly, or when your next place is ready. Some people need three weeks. Some are waiting on probate or a tenant and need three months. The closing date is a term you set, not something a lender dictates.
