A direct cash sale to EasyOffer condenses that timeline to as few as 14 days with no financing contingencies.
Rochester's average home price hovers around $200K, making it one of the most affordable cities in the Northeast, with multi-bedroom family homes in established neighborhoods often found under $300K.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you value an apartment building with 5 or more units?
We evaluate apartment buildings based on a combination of factors: current net operating income, comparable sales in Rochester, physical condition, occupancy rates, and the local rental market. We do not rely solely on cap rates, which means deferred maintenance or below-market rents do not disqualify your property.
Can I sell my apartment building if occupancy is below 50 percent?
Yes. High vacancy rates make commercial financing nearly impossible for traditional buyers, but our cash offer process has no occupancy minimums. We buy apartment buildings at any occupancy level.
Do I need to provide audited financial statements?
No. While rent rolls and basic expense information help us make an accurate offer, we do not require audited financials. We can work with whatever records you have available.
What about existing property management contracts?
Existing management agreements, service contracts, and vendor relationships are handled at closing. We either assume or terminate them based on the situation. These do not prevent or delay the sale.
Will you buy my apartment building if it has code violations or failed inspections?
Yes. We buy apartment buildings in Rochester with open code violations, failed fire inspections, deferred capital improvements, and other compliance issues. We take on the remediation responsibility.
How is selling to EasyOffer different from listing with a commercial broker?
A commercial broker listing typically takes 6 to 12 months, involves buyer financing contingencies, and charges a 4 to 6 percent commission. Selling to EasyOffer means a cash offer in 24 hours, no commissions, no financing risk, and a close date you choose.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
