How selling to us works in Ronkonkoma
- 1
Start with the basics
Where the house is (11779) and a rough sense of its condition is all we need to begin. Call or use the form. Nothing needs fixing or clearing out beforehand.
- 2
We come and look at it
One visit, one person, usually under half an hour. On a ranch or cape cod of the age most of Ronkonkoma was built, we are mainly looking at the roof, the boiler and the electric rather than the kitchen.
- 3
You see the number
Within a day you get our offer as one written figure. Get a Suffolk County agent's opinion alongside it if that helps. For a house that could go on the market as it stands, listing may come out ahead, and we will tell you if so.
- 4
Closing happens on your date
If you need it done quickly, it can be. If probate, a tenant or a move means waiting, we wait. What you skip is the 67 to 82 days a Ronkonkoma listing usually spends on finding a buyer and then on that buyer's lender.
Most people who call us are not just moving
They are selling because of something else that happened. An estate, a tenant who stopped paying, a house nobody has lived in since a parent went into care. These are the situations we see most often in Ronkonkoma.
Foreclosure & debt
Missed payments, a foreclosure notice, liens, back taxes or bankruptcy.

Work it against Ronkonkoma's own numbers. The median sale here is $641,000. A 5% commission on that is $32,050, and seller closing costs of about 2% add roughly $12,820. Those are costs we can cover on our side. That is $44,870 gone before anyone counts the repairs it took to get the house listable.
There are two waits in a listed sale and people usually only count the first. In Ronkonkoma the median house takes about 22 days to go from listed to a signed contract. Then it waits again, typically 45 to 60 days, while the buyer's lender orders an appraisal and underwrites the loan. Call it 67 to 82 days from sign to keys, assuming nothing goes wrong.
The part worth understanding is what a signed contract actually guarantees, which is less than most sellers assume. A retail buyer with a mortgage contingency can walk away right up to the end. If they do not qualify, if the appraisal comes in under the price, if they change their mind and let the financing lapse. A share of deals die exactly there, after months of waiting, and the house goes back on the market with time on it. We are not borrowing anything, so there is no lender to satisfy, no appraisal to come in low and no contingency to exercise.
| Listing with an agent | Selling to us | |
|---|---|---|
| Sale price | $641,000 (Ronkonkoma median) | Our written offer |
| Commission | −$32,050 | None |
| Seller closing costs | −$12,820 | We can cover them |
| Repairs before listing | Out of pocket | None |
| Cleanout | Yours | Ours |
| Showings | Until it sells | One visit |
| Listed to signed contract | 22 days (Ronkonkoma median, once listable) | 24 hours to a written offer |
| Contract to closing | 45 to 60 days (waiting on the buyer's lender) | A date you choose |
| Total wait | 67 to 82 days if nothing falls through | Yours to set |
| Can the buyer walk? | Yes (mortgage contingency runs to the end) | No financing to fall through |
| Before repairs and carrying | $596,130 | The number we put in writing |
For the listing side we have used a 5% commission and about 2% in seller closing costs; your real figures may differ. Repairs and carrying costs are left out because they depend on the house. If yours is in good shape, a good agent may well get you more than we would, and we will tell you if so.
How we arrive at a number
On a house, the number comes from three things: what it will be worth when the work is finished, what the work will cost, and a cushion in case we are wrong on either. That is all there is to it. There is no formula we are keeping from you.
- What it is worth repaired. Not the Ronkonkoma median of $641,000 on its own, but what houses like yours on your street actually closed at recently.
- What the work costs. Roof, boiler, electric, the kitchen and bath. In Ronkonkoma the stock is largely ranch and cape cod, and on houses that age the mechanicals are usually the expensive part rather than the cosmetics.
- How long we will hold it. The median Ronkonkoma house goes under contract in about 22 days once it is showable, then waits 45 to 60 days more on the buyer's lender. Ours has to get to showable first, and we carry taxes and insurance across the whole of it.
- What we are wrong about. Some of what a house needs only shows once the work starts. We price that in, and it is a big part of the gap between a cash offer and a retail sale.
Why this works for us when it would not for you
This is the part cash buyers tend to gloss over. We run millions of dollars of construction a year. That buys materials at contractor pricing and keeps our own crews working through the year, so the same renovation costs us roughly half what it would cost you to hire it out.
That is the business in one line. It is also why renovating before a sale rarely pays: you would buy the same roof and boiler at retail and hope to get it back at resale, which usually does not happen. We do not make our money by paying you less. We make it by building for less.
If the number does not work for you, tell us so. We would rather have that conversation than pressure anyone. We will look at where you are and give you an honest read on your options, including ones that do not involve selling to us. Plenty of sellers are better off with an agent, and we will say so if you are one of them.
What this looks like in Ronkonkoma specifically
Ronkonkoma is roughly 18,955 people in Suffolk County, ZIP 11779, and the housing stock is mostly ranch, cape cod, hi-ranch. Around Lake Ronkonkoma and Long Island MacArthur Airport, most of it is old enough that the mechanicals are on their second or third life. The Ronkonkoma stop pulls buyers who commute, which supports the good houses and does very little for the ones that need a roof. We know which of these streets take water, where the older systems fail first, and what the Connetquot Central School District does to a resale price.
The Ronkonkoma median has barely moved year over year as of 2026-05, at 2.56%. Flat is the hardest market to price a fixer into, because there is no upward drift to cover a mistake and no urgency pushing buyers to overlook a problem. At a $641,000 median, Ronkonkoma is a market where buyers expect to do some work. That helps a seller with a dated house and hurts one with a genuinely broken one, because the pool that will take on a project is not the same pool that will take on a gut. The median house here goes under contract in about 22 days, which is quick for Long Island. It is also a figure that only applies to property in showable condition.

Common questions
Do you actually buy in Ronkonkoma, or is this a national site?
Nassau and Suffolk County are the only places we buy, and we have no plans to expand past Long Island. A buyer who operates in fifty states does not know what your street is worth.
Is there any obligation?
None. The visit is free, the written offer is free, and if you say no we do not call you again. There is no follow-up campaign.
Do I need to repair or clean anything first?
No. Take what you want out of the house and leave everything else where it is, including furniture. Clearing it is our cost.
Will you pay what my house is worth?
We pay below what a fully renovated house on your street sells for, because we are buying it unrenovated and carrying it while it is fixed. We will show you exactly how we got to the number, and if listing with an agent would net you more we will tell you that instead.
How fast can you close?
Close quickly, or on a date you pick. Some people need three weeks. Some are waiting on probate or a tenant and need three months. The closing date is a term you set, not something a lender dictates.
