What happens after you send it
- We call you backSame day
- We walk the houseOne visit
- Written cash offerAfter that visit
- Commission you pay− $0
- Repairs before closing− $0
- What it costs youNothing
We price every house by hand, from recorded sales in your area and what we see when we walk it. That is why the number comes from us and not from a slider — a figure typed into a box is not an offer, and we would rather not pretend otherwise.
You are under no obligation at any point, and nothing is binding until it is in writing and you have signed it.
Who is in the middle
Nobody. That is the whole point.
Every hand your sale passes through takes a piece of it. We are the buyer, not an agent looking for one. You are dealing with the company that is actually going to own the house.

First Vega
We inspect the house too — nobody buys a house sight unseen. The difference is that we walk it once ourselves, before we put a number in writing, and we are not asking you to fix what we find. We are the buyer and we keep the house: we renovate it and either sell it or rent it. There is no commission, because there is nobody in the middle to pay one to.
Your situation
Pick the one that sounds like you.
A cash sale is not right for every house. It is right for particular situations, and we handle each of them differently.
Houses we actually bought
Four Syracuse addresses.
Not renderings, not stock photography. Properties First Vega purchased, with what the seller was dealing with and how long they waited.

What "as-is" actually means
The condition is our problem, not yours.
Sellers apologise for the house before we have even walked in. There is no need. A dated kitchen, a failing roof, belongings left behind, an open code violation — none of that ends the conversation. We look at the house, price the work ourselves, and tell you what we would pay for it as it stands.
Fix nothingNot the roof, not the furnace, not the porch step.
Clear nothing outTake what matters to you and leave the rest where it is.
Tenants stay putTell us before anything else if there is a tenant. It changes how we look at the file and we will say straight away whether we can buy it that way.
Liens come off the topBack taxes and violations are usually settled out of the proceeds at the title company.
Straight answers
What sellers ask us first.
If your question is not here, call the number below and ask a person. Nobody will put you on a list.
Is there any cost to me?
No. There is no fee for the offer and no commission, and we cover our side of the standard closing costs. Once a price is agreed and signed, we do not come back and re-trade it — the only thing that can move the number is something the title search turns up, and we would show you that in writing.
Am I obligated once I get the offer?
Not at all. Plenty of people take our number, list with an agent instead, and that is a perfectly good outcome. The offer is yours to use however you want.
What if the house has tenants?
Say so at the start. Some occupied houses we buy with the tenant in place; some we cannot, and you will hear that from us early rather than late. Either way we are not asking you to serve notice or start an eviction to find out.
What about back taxes or a lien?
In most cases they are settled out of the proceeds at closing, through the title company. A lien does not usually stop a sale — it comes off the top. If the payoff is larger than the house is worth, we will tell you that plainly instead of stringing you along.
Do you actually have the money?
Yes. We fund purchases with our own capital and, on some deals, with a private lender we work with — either way we show you proof of funds before you sign anything. We are not assigning your contract to another buyer or shopping your address around.
How fast is fast, really?
The title company sets the pace and we start the search the day you say yes. If probate or a lien is involved it runs longer, and we tell you that up front rather than after.

Who you are dealing with
A local buyer that keeps the house.
You are about to discuss the largest thing you own with someone you found on the internet. Here is what you can check before you do.
First Vega Homes LLC
A New York limited liability company buying residential property in Syracuse and Onondaga County. Ask us for the filing and we will send it.
Closings at a licensed title company
Every purchase settles through a title company with a title search and title insurance — not a handshake and not a private transfer.
Proof of funds before you sign
We show a current statement or a lender letter showing the money exists, in advance of any contract.
Your contract is not resold
You deal with us directly, and we tell you before you sign exactly how the purchase is structured on your file.
Selling a house is a decision worth a second opinion. An attorney or an estate professional is worth the hour, and we will wait while you take it.

Tell us the address.
We'll do the rest.
One short form, one visit, then a written number. Nothing to fix, nothing to pay, nothing to sign until you're ready.
