We received your request for your property. A Key Buyers specialist will call you within 24 hours, usually the same day.
Many owners believe they must resolve every violation first, which can cost thousands of dollars and months of time they don't have or want to spend.
Bank-financed buyers almost always need a clean certificate of occupancy and a lender that won't touch a property with open violations, which is why homes with HPD or DOB issues often sit unsold for months on the open market, if an agent will list them at all.
We factor the cost of resolving violations into our offer rather than requiring you to resolve them first. That means you're not paying contractors or navigating NYC bureaucracy before you can sell, we handle that after closing. We know Brooklyn's HPD and DOB processes well enough to price this accurately and fairly rather than using violations as an excuse for a lowball number.
This page is for general information only and is not legal advice. Always verify current violation status directly with HPD/DOB records for your property.
