Selling your Rochester home can be a quick & easy process
Nelson House Buyers buys houses in and around Rochester (and nearby Monroe County areas, too!) We’re not listing your house—we’re actually the ones buying your home directly.

Work with Us Locally
No fees – No commissions
Unlike listing a house with a traditional agent, we charge no fees, and no commissions—so more of your cash stays in your pocket.
You never have to worry about any extra costs coming out of your pocket to sell your house fast in Rochester or the surrounding area.
You don’t have to worry about getting your house “market-ready” for showings, photos, or inspections.
We want to buy your house as-is—no cleaning, repairs, or updates needed.
No matter how ugly or pretty it is and no matter the location, we buy houses in Rochester in any condition, even with repairs or payments behind.
From Offer to Close in as Little as 7 Days
You can get rid of the headache of your property fast and avoid paying one more utility payment, tax payment, insurance payment, mortgage payment, or any of the other monthly costs tied to the house.
If you list your house and wait 90+ days to close, you have to figure in all of the costs of holding that property during that time—plus the stress of showings and inspections while you wait.
We make it easy
Don’t worry about fixing anything or deep cleaning your house again and again for buyer after buyer coming through.
We don’t care how dirty your house is (we’ve seen worse!) or how many repairs, updates, or clean-outs are needed.
Is it a complete fixer, vacant, or beat up? Great! We love projects and can still make you a cash offer.
Let us save you time, remove the stress, and put more money in your pocket at closing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does “as-is” mean?
We buy your Rochester home as-is, meaning you don’t have to worry about doing repairs, fixing your home up, or getting it ready for showings. We’ll handle all repairs, inspections, clean-out, and more after we purchase your home. We factor this into our offer, but it saves you the cash, time, and headache of getting your home ready to sell.
What does an “all-cash offer” mean?
“All-cash” means exactly that–all cash for your Rochester home. Because we are local real estate investors purchasing your house directly, we don’t rely on banks or traditional financing like retail buyers do. When you sell to us, there’s no risk of the loan falling through or closing being delayed for financing issues.
How fast is a fast closing?
After you send us information about your home, we can make you a no-obligation, fair all-cash offer in as little as 24 hours. Once you accept, we close at a local, reputable title company in as little as 7 days, or on the date that fits your plans. Compared to the 30+ days it can take to close when listing your house the traditional way, the difference is huge.
What if I don’t need a fast closing?
At Nelson House Buyers, we work on your time frame. If you don’t need a fast closing because you’re making arrangements, sorting probate, or exploring future options, we’ll schedule the closing on the day that works best for you.
Will I get a lowball offer?
Our goal is to provide you with the fairest offer possible. Unlike some buyers or big tech giants, we’re upfront about how we arrive at an offer amount. What we offer is based on what the value of the property may be once we make the necessary improvements and upgrades. We’re happy to walk you through our numbers so you can feel good about your decision.
Is this even legit?
Yes, it is. The real estate industry is changing, and thousands of homeowners in places like Rochester are exploring faster, easier, and more transparent ways to sell. That’s where we come in. We offer an alternative for homeowners who may not have the time, money, or energy to list with an agent. We’ll listen to your situation, make you a clear all-cash offer, and close on your timeline.
