How Selling for Cash Works in Suffolk County
Tell us about the house
Call or message us with the address, the condition, and your timeline. You don't need to clean, repair, or stage anything.
We bring it to vetted buyers
We present your property to cash buyers we've vetted and confirm their funds before an offer reaches you.
You get an offer in writing
Review it, ask questions, and compare it to what a listing could bring. There's no obligation to accept.
Close when title is clear
If you accept, attorneys handle the contract and title. You close as soon as title is clear, on a date you agree to.
Who Pays, and What It Costs You
The buyer pays our fee, so you pay no commission. Because the buyer pays us, we work with the buyer's side of the deal, and we'll say so in writing before you sign anything.
You'll still have normal closing costs: your own attorney and New York State transfer tax. See cash sale closing costs on Long Island for more detail.
Cash Offer or Traditional Listing?
A cash offer trades some price for speed and certainty. Cash buyers usually offer less than a house could sell for on the open market, because they take on repairs, holding costs, and risk. If your house is in good shape and you have time, listing it may net you more, and we'll tell you that. As a licensed broker we can do either, so you can see both numbers before you decide.
| Cash sale | Traditional listing | |
|---|---|---|
| Who buys | A vetted cash buyer | Whoever makes the best offer on the open market |
| Commission to you | None, the buyer pays our fee | Negotiated with your listing broker |
| Repairs and showings | None, sold as-is | Usually expected |
| Timeline | Close when title clears | Depends on finding a buyer and their mortgage approval |
| Price | Usually below open-market value | Usually the highest price |
Cash usually makes sense when the house needs major work, you need a firm date, or you're selling an inherited home or a rental with tenants. For a deeper comparison, see cash offer vs. realtor and do cash buyers pay market value.
Situations We Help Suffolk Sellers With
- Inherited homes, where the estate wants a clean, certain sale
- Rentals with tenants in place
- Houses that need major repairs

Do you buy houses in Suffolk County?
We connect Suffolk County homeowners with vetted cash buyers who purchase as-is. Montauk Dunes is the licensed brokerage, not the buyer.
Do I pay a commission?
No. The buyer pays our fee. You still pay your own attorney and New York State transfer tax, as in any sale.
How fast can I close?
As soon as title comes back clear. With cash there's no mortgage approval or appraisal to wait on, so title is usually what sets the date. Liens, open permits, or estate paperwork can add time.
Will I get less than market value?
Usually, yes. That's the trade for speed and certainty. As a licensed broker we can also list your home, so we can show you both numbers.
What do you need from me to get an offer?
The address, the condition of the house, and your timeline. You don't need to clean, repair, or stage anything.
Is the offer really no-obligation?
Yes. You can review the written offer and decline it.
