The south shore of Long Island is a special place. From the quaint streets of Babylon Village to the diverse neighborhoods of Lindenhurst and Copiague, this area has character you won't find anywhere else. But owning property here comes with unique challenges - including flood zones, older housing stock, and some of the highest property taxes in the nation.
If you need to sell your Babylon Township home quickly, we can help. I'm Billy Alvaro, and my company, Easy Sell Property Solutions, has been buying houses throughout Long Island since 2009. We specialize in purchasing homes in any condition, and yes - that includes properties in flood zones.
Why Babylon Homeowners Choose Cash Buyers
Babylon Township stretches across Long Island's south shore, encompassing diverse communities with different needs. Here's why homeowners in this area often prefer a cash sale:
Flood Zone Complications Many Babylon properties sit in FEMA flood zones. After Hurricane Sandy, flood insurance costs skyrocketed, and traditional buyers often shy away from these properties or demand significant price reductions. We buy flood zone properties without hesitation and handle the insurance complexities ourselves.
Older Waterfront Homes Those charming cottages near the water? They often need extensive work - new bulkheads, foundation repairs, mold remediation, or complete gut renovations. Traditional buyers want move-in ready. We take properties as-is.
High Property Taxes Babylon Township property taxes can easily exceed $12,000-15,000 annually for modest homes. When taxes become unmanageable, a quick cash sale provides immediate relief.
Diverse Housing Stock From small capes in Copiague to waterfront estates in Babylon Village, this township has it all. We buy every type of property, regardless of size or condition.
Babylon Neighborhoods We Serve
We purchase properties throughout Babylon Township, including:
Babylon Village The jewel of the township, Babylon Village features tree-lined streets, a walkable downtown, and homes ranging from bungalows to larger colonials. Whether you have a starter home or a waterfront property, we're interested.
Lindenhurst A hardworking community with solid housing stock. We buy ranches, capes, and split-levels in any condition - from well-maintained homes to complete fixer-uppers.
Copiague Affordable homes and a diverse community make Copiague a place we frequently buy in. Properties here often need updates, which is exactly what we specialize in.
Amityville Yes, we buy houses in Amityville (and we're not scared). This waterfront community has beautiful areas and some properties that need TLC. We purchase both.
West Babylon A mix of residential areas with homes from different eras. Whether your West Babylon house is updated or stuck in the 1970s, we'll make an offer.
North Babylon Further from the water but still part of the township, North Babylon has single-family homes that sometimes need significant updates after decades of use.
Deer Park On the northern edge of the township, Deer Park offers more affordable homes but also properties that may have fallen into disrepair. We buy them all.
Our Cash Buying Process
Selling to us is simple, fast, and stress-free. Here's how it works:

Step 3: Receive Your Cash Offer Within 24-48 hours, we'll present our offer. We explain exactly how we calculated it, with no surprises or hidden fees.
Step 4: Close When You Want Accept our offer, and you choose the closing date. Need to close in a week? We can do that. Need a month or two? Also fine. You're in control.
Flood Zone Properties: Not a Problem
One thing that sets us apart is our willingness to buy properties in flood zones. After Hurricane Sandy devastated the south shore, many homeowners found themselves with:
- Elevated flood insurance costs ($5,000-10,000+ annually)
- Requirements to raise the home or face even higher premiums
- Difficulty finding traditional buyers
- Properties that technically can't be insured at reasonable rates
We understand these challenges because we've bought dozens of flood zone properties. We have the resources to handle remediation, elevation, or renovation - you don't need to worry about any of it.
**If your property is in a flood zone, don't assume it's unsellable.** We can often make a fair offer that accounts for the flood zone reality while still putting cash in your pocket.
Situations We Commonly Handle
Here are the most common reasons Babylon homeowners contact us:
**Inherited Properties**: You inherited a house in Lindenhurst but live in Florida. The taxes are due, the lawn is overgrown, and you just want it gone. We handle inherited properties every week, including homes with probate complications.
**Hurricane Damage**: Some properties never fully recovered from Sandy or subsequent storms. If your home has lingering damage that would cost a fortune to repair, we'll buy it as-is.
**Financial Hardship**: Behind on your mortgage? Facing foreclosure? We can often close fast enough to stop the process and save your credit. Many homeowners walk away with cash even after paying off the bank.
**Divorce**: When a marriage ends, the house often needs to sell quickly so both parties can move on. We provide fair valuations and fast closings that help end a difficult chapter.
**Tired Landlords**: Owning rental property in Babylon comes with challenges - difficult tenants, constant repairs, and the responsibility of managing a property. We buy rental properties, sometimes even with tenants in place.
**Major Repairs Needed**: That roof replacement, foundation repair, or mold remediation quote has you overwhelmed. Selling as-is means you don't have to deal with any of it.
