Queens is where Long Island meets New York City - the most ethnically diverse urban area in the world, with neighborhoods ranging from quiet tree-lined streets to bustling commercial districts. For over 15 years, we've been buying properties throughout Long Island, and now we're bringing that same experience and fair dealing to Queens homeowners.
I'm Billy Alvaro, founder of Easy Sell Property Solutions. Whether you have a multi-family in Jamaica, a single-family in Bayside, or an attached home in Ridgewood, we can make you a fair cash offer and close on your timeline.
Why Queens Homeowners Sell for Cash
Queens real estate is unlike anywhere else. High property values, dense neighborhoods, and complex ownership situations make traditional sales challenging for many homeowners. Here's why a cash sale often makes sense:
Multi-Family Complexity Queens has thousands of 2-4 family buildings. These properties come with tenant complications, rent regulations, and maintenance demands that can make traditional sales difficult. We buy multi-family properties and handle all the complexity.
Attached Homes and Shared Walls Many Queens neighborhoods feature attached or semi-attached homes. Issues with shared walls, party wall agreements, and neighbor disputes can complicate traditional sales. We purchase regardless of these situations.
High Property Values, High Stakes Queens properties often sell for $500,000 to over $1 million. When that much money is involved, the certainty of a cash sale - no financing falling through, no buyer getting cold feet - has real value.
Older Housing Stock Much of Queens was built before World War II. These homes have character but often need significant updates - electrical, plumbing, roofing - that can cost tens of thousands. Selling as-is avoids these expenses.
Tenant Occupied Properties If your property has tenants, especially in rent-stabilized units, traditional sales become complicated. We buy properties with tenants in place.
Queens Neighborhoods We Serve
We purchase properties throughout Queens, including:
Jamaica Once the commercial heart of Queens, Jamaica has diverse housing from grand historic homes to smaller attached properties. We buy throughout the area, including properties that need substantial work.
Flushing One of New York's most vibrant neighborhoods with a mix of housing types. Whether you have a single-family, a small multi-family, or a condo, we're interested.
Astoria A hot market with young professionals, Astoria has seen significant appreciation. But even in strong markets, some homeowners need quick, certain sales. We buy throughout Astoria.
Long Island City Once industrial, now one of New York's most dynamic neighborhoods. We purchase properties here regardless of condition or current use.
Bayside A more suburban feel with single-family homes, good schools, and higher property values. We have the resources to purchase in higher-value areas.
Forest Hills Known for beautiful Tudor homes and a strong community feel. We buy properties throughout Forest Hills, including those needing updates.
Ridgewood On the Brooklyn border with a mix of attached homes and multi-families. We purchase throughout this neighborhood.
Woodhaven and Ozone Park Middle-class neighborhoods with affordable homes and strong communities. We buy extensively in these areas.
Jackson Heights and Corona Diverse communities with a mix of housing types from co-ops to single-families. We purchase various property types here.
Howard Beach and Broad Channel Waterfront communities with unique character. We buy properties here, including those in flood zones.

Common Queens Selling Situations
Here's why Queens homeowners typically contact us:
**Multi-Family Headaches**: You inherited or purchased a multi-family building, but being a landlord in NYC is exhausting. Tenant issues, constant repairs, regulations - you want out. We'll buy your property, even with tenants in place.
**Rent Regulation Complications**: Your building has rent-stabilized tenants, which limits what traditional buyers will pay and complicates the sales process. We understand rent regulation and buy these properties.
**Inherited Property**: You inherited a house in Jamaica but live in another state. NYC property comes with NYC problems - and NYC property taxes. We can take over quickly.
**Behind on Payments**: Facing foreclosure in Queens is terrifying given property values. We can often close fast enough to stop the process and protect your credit.
**Code Violations**: NYC building inspectors don't miss much. If you have outstanding violations that would cost thousands to clear, selling as-is makes sense.
**Major Repairs Needed**: That quote for foundation work, roof replacement, or brownstone facade repair is overwhelming. We buy as-is.
**Divorce**: When marriages end, quick property sales in NYC help everyone move forward without months of complications.
**Downsizing**: The kids are gone, and that big house in Bayside is too much. Selling for cash means no months of showings.

Queens-Specific Considerations
Buying and selling in Queens has unique aspects:
NYC Transfer Taxes New York City has additional transfer taxes on property sales. We factor these into our valuations and pay our required share.
