What This Actually Means
An all-cash, as-is purchase — explained plainly
“All cash” does not mean someone arrives with a briefcase. It means the purchase is not financed, so there is no lender, no appraisal and no underwriting — the three things that kill most residential contracts after they are signed. Nothing about your closing depends on a stranger’s loan being approved.
“As-is” means the condition of the home is our problem, not yours. No repairs, no cleaning, no staging, no contractor estimates, no inspection renegotiation two weeks before closing. If there is a leaking roof, a failed cesspool, an open permit or thirty years of belongings in the basement, that is priced into the number and then handled by us.
Real Estate Plan has been buying and selling Long Island property since 1991. We are a licensed full-service brokerage that also purchases directly — and that distinction matters more than it sounds, because it means we are not limited to one product. We can buy your home, or list it, or prepare it and then list it. We will tell you which one pays you more.
A Real Estate Plan Partnership · Bellmore, NY
See it for yourself — before and after
This is an actual Long Island home we took through the Partnership program. The owner put up nothing. We funded the entire renovation, sold the finished house, and she collected her guaranteed base price plus her share of the upside at closing — a full $80,000 more than an as-is sale would have paid her.
Walk-through of the home as it was — dated kitchen and baths, worn floors, tired exterior and an overgrown yard. Nothing staged, nothing hidden.
The same house after a Real Estate Plan Partnership renovation — new kitchen, new baths, flooring, paint and exterior work, every dollar funded by us.

The Numbers
The same house, three different ways
The Bellmore numbers, three different ways — a home that sold for $800,000 once renovated, needing about $150,000 of work.

- Carrying costs, 6 months−$8,700
You net $573,3006 to 8 months · $150,000 of your money at risk
Look at Choice 2 against Choice 3. Funding the entire renovation herself would have tied up $150,000 of her own money for six to eight months, and every cost overrun would have come out of her pocket — to finish $1,700 behind where the Partnership put her.
The Partnership paid her $80,000 more than our cash offer, beat doing it herself, and cost her nothing but a signature.
How It Works
The Real Estate Plan Partnership
This is the option almost nobody else on Long Island can offer, because it requires actually owning the construction and restoration companies — and being willing to put your own capital at risk on somebody else’s house.
- We lock in your as-is base price first. Before a single hammer swings you have a guaranteed floor in writing. That money is yours at closing no matter what the renovation turns up.
- We pay for the entire renovation. Every dollar — materials, labor, permits, remediation, cleanout and staging. Nothing comes out of your pocket. There is nothing to borrow and no loan to qualify for.
- We absorb the cost overruns. If the roof is worse than it looked, the electrical needs rewiring, or the town demands more than expected, that is our cost. Your base price never moves down.
- We market and sell the finished home. The full 15-Point Marketing Plan — staging, professional media, a 360° virtual tour, its own property website and full MLS exposure through OneKey.
- At closing you collect your base price plus your share of the upside. One closing, two components.
You become the investor in your own home — and we carry the financial risk instead of you. No money out of pocket. No cost overruns. No contractor headaches. No loans. You sit back and reap the reward.
How It Works
From first call to closing
- Tell us about the propertyA two-minute form or a phone call. We ask what the home is, roughly what shape it is in, and what your timeline looks like. No walk-through required to get started, and nothing is shared with anyone.About 2 minutes
- We research before we visitWe pull recent comparable sales on your block, check the municipal file for open permits and violations, and price what the home would need to reach market condition. This is the step most cash buyers skip, and it is why their first number so often changes later.Same or next day
- We walk the property onceOne visit, usually under half an hour. You do not clean, stage, or move anything. We look at the roof, systems, structure, water and anything a future buyer would flag.One short visit
- You get three numbers, not oneHere is where we differ from every other cash buyer on Long Island. You receive our all-cash as-is offer, a Real Estate Plan Partnership figure where we fund the entire renovation and you share in the upside, and an honest projection of what the home would net if you prepared and listed it yourself. Three routes, three numbers, side by side. Then you choose.Within 48 hours
- Close on the date you pickOur affiliated attorney and title team handle the file. Two weeks, two months, or after the school year ends. You set the date, and we work backwards from it.Your timeline
Any Condition
However it looks today, we will buy it
Most sellers apologize when they open the door. There is no need. The homes that give other buyers pause are the ones we are built for — because we own the construction and restoration companies that fix them.
- Dated kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and windows
- Roof failure, siding damage and water intrusion
- Mold, lead paint, asbestos and flood damage
- Structural, foundation and settlement problems
- Fire and storm damage
- Failed septic, cesspool and drainage issues
- Open permits, violations and Certificate of Occupancy problems
- Unpermitted decks, additions, conversions and finished basements
- Hoarder conditions, full estate contents and abandoned property
- Oil tanks, both above and below ground
- Decades of deferred maintenance on a home nobody could keep up with
Take the belongings that matter to you. Leave everything else where it sits — furniture, appliances, paperwork, the contents of the attic. Clearing it out is included, not an extra.
Any Situation
Selling a house is rarely only about the house
People call us in the middle of something — a death, a divorce, a deadline, a diagnosis. We work quietly, we do not judge, and we do not need to know more than what affects the transaction. The Real Estate Plan team is available to help facilitate and customize Your Real Estate Plan.
Inherited property and probate
An executor settling an estate, often from another state, with siblings to coordinate and a house full of a lifetime of belongings.
Foreclosure and mortgage default
Homeowners behind on payments who want to protect their equity and their credit before the calendar runs out.
Divorce and separation
Two parties who need a clean, fast, unarguable number and a date they can both plan around.
Tired landlords
Owners with problem tenants, unpaid rent, code violations, or a rental that stopped being worth the aggravation years ago.
Relocation on a deadline
A job that starts in six weeks in another state, and a house that cannot be left to sit on the market.
Financial hardship
Medical bills, job loss, judgments or liens, where certainty matters more than squeezing out the last percent.
Reverse mortgage payoff
Heirs facing a short repayment window who need the property sold before the lender forecloses.
Downsizing and senior moves
A family coordinating a sale around assisted living or a move closer to children, at a pace that respects the person moving.
Cash Offer vs. Listing
An honest side-by-side
| Sell to us — cash | List on the market | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to a firm number | Within 48 hours | 3 to 12 weeks on market |
| Time to close | 2 to 3 weeks, or your date | 45 to 75 days after contract |
| Repairs you pay for | None | Whatever inspection uncovers |
| Cleaning and cleanout | Leave what you want | Required before photos |
| Showings | One walk-through | Ongoing, on the buyer’s schedule |
| Commission | None on a direct purchase | Standard listing commission |
| Financing risk | None — no lender involved | Appraisal and underwriting can end the deal |
| Carrying costs while you wait | Weeks | Months of taxes, insurance and utilities |
| Certainty | A signed contract with no loan contingency | Real, until a buyer walks |
Typical Situations
The kinds of sales we are called for
Estate sale, executor out of state
Four decades of belongings, a failed cesspool and an open permit on a rear addition. The executor lived in Florida and could not manage contractors from a thousand miles away. Cleanout, legal steps and closing were coordinated in-house so the family did not have to fly back.
Pre-foreclosure with weeks on the clock
The homeowner had missed enough payments that a listing would not have closed in time. We reviewed the alternatives first, including a modification, and only then moved to a direct purchase because it was the option that actually preserved equity.
Landlord with a problem tenancy
Unpaid rent, deferred maintenance across both units, and an owner who had stopped answering the phone about it. Purchased with the tenancy in place, so the seller did not have to run the eviction first.
Water damage after a burst pipe
Two other cash buyers reduced their offers after seeing the mold. Because remediation is work we perform ourselves, we did not need to price in the unknown — we knew what it cost.
Illustrative examples of common situations, not individual client transactions.
FAQ
Questions sellers actually ask
How do you arrive at your number?
We start with what the home would realistically sell for once it is in market condition, based on recent closed sales on and around your block — not town-wide averages. From that we subtract the cost of the work it needs, priced by our own construction crews rather than guessed at, along with carrying costs and our margin. We will walk you through every line of that math. If the number does not make sense to you, we would rather explain it than have you accept something you do not understand.
Will you really buy it in this condition?
Yes. Condition is the entire reason this option exists. We own construction and restoration companies, so mold, fire damage, structural problems, failed septic systems, oil tanks and open violations are ordinary work for us rather than reasons to walk away. You do not need to clean, repair, or remove anything. Take what matters to you and leave the rest.
Are there commissions or fees?
On a direct purchase there is no listing commission, because there is no listing. There are no repair credits, no staging costs, and no months of carrying the property while it sits. We will put the specific costs of your transaction in writing before you sign anything, so there is nothing to discover at the closing table.
How quickly can you close?
Two to three weeks is typical, and the constraint is usually title work rather than us. If you need longer — because you are waiting on a closing of your own, or on a school year, or on a family member — we will hold the date. Speed is an option we offer, not a condition we impose.
What if there are liens, judgments or back taxes?
These are usually resolved at closing out of the proceeds, and our affiliated attorney and title relationships handle exactly this kind of work. Tell us early what you know about, and if you are not sure, we will run the search and find out. Liens surprise sellers far more often than they surprise us.
What if the house is in probate or held in a trust?
Probate, estate and trust sales are a core specialty rather than an exception. Our affiliated law office guides the legal steps — letters testamentary, court approval where required, and titling matters — while our crews handle the cleanout and the property itself. Executors managing this from out of state are some of the clients we help most.
What is a Real Estate Plan Partnership, and what does it cost me?
Nothing up front. We agree a guaranteed as-is base price for your home in writing, then fund the entire renovation ourselves — materials, labor, permits, remediation and cleanout. We market and sell the finished home, and at closing you receive your base price plus an agreed share of the upside the renovation created. You are investing in your own home the way a flipper would, except the capital and the risk are ours. If the work costs more than we projected, your base price does not change.
Will I get more by listing it instead?
Sometimes, and we will tell you when that is true. If your home is in good condition and you have the time and the tolerance for the process, listing usually nets more. Our advantage is that we can actually offer you both routes, including preparing the home first with no money out of pocket. Most cash buyers can only sell you the one product they have.
Do I have to accept the offer?
No. There is no obligation, no fee for the visit, and no pressure. Take a week and think about it. Show the numbers to your attorney, your accountant or your family. An offer you feel rushed into is not a deal we want.
Do you buy multi-family and investment property?
Yes — multi-family buildings, rentals with tenants in place, commercial property and land, in addition to single-family homes, condos and co-ops. Occupied rentals with difficult tenancies are a frequent reason owners call us.
What areas do you buy in?
All of Long Island and New York City — Suffolk, Nassau, Queens, Kings, New York and Bronx counties, from Montauk to Manhattan. We are based in East Setauket with a satellite office in Hampton Bays.
Is my inquiry private?
Yes. Nothing is listed, no sign goes in the yard, no neighbors are notified and nothing appears on the MLS. For sellers in the middle of a divorce, a hardship or a foreclosure, that discretion is often the whole point.
How is Real Estate Plan different from the other cash buyers?
Most companies that buy houses for cash are investors with a single product. We are a licensed full-service brokerage that also buys directly, with construction, restoration, title and legal all in-house. That means we can price your home accurately rather than defensively, we do not need to pad the offer against unknowns, and we can show you the listing route honestly alongside the cash route.
