Honest, direct conversations about price and how we got there
Sell Your Uniondale Home For Cash, Tenants And As-Is, Any Condition
Uniondale sits in the geographic and institutional center of Nassau. Hofstra on one side, Nassau Community College and NUMC across the way, the Coliseum and the redeveloping Hub at the heart. The housing stock mixes single-family capes with two-family rentals and longtime homes held two and three generations. Caribbean, African-American, and immigrant family lineages run deep. When a Uniondale house sells, it’s a tired student-rental landlord, a two-family owner done with Nassau housing court, an heir with siblings in Atlanta and Charlotte, or an investor liquidating. Prime Realty Buyers buys direct for cash.

Why Uniondale Homeowners Sell To Prime Realty Buyers
Uniondale has a different selling profile than the rest of central Nassau, and most of it traces back to the institutions and the rental market that grew up around them. Hofstra and NCC adjacency, the Hub redevelopment cycle, heavy two-family stock, and multigenerational Caribbean and African-American family lineages all create seller situations we see every month.
Hofstra and NCC student-rental burnout. A meaningful share of Uniondale’s housing has been student rental at some point, with Hofstra on one side and NCC across the way. Landlords who started renting to students 10, 15, or 20 years ago are tired: tired of May turnover, tired of property damage, tired of the wear from rotating tenants. The house has not been properly maintained because the owner was always between tenants. We buy with the patched walls, worn floors, and missing doors priced into the offer.
Two-family rental fatigue plus tenants in place. Uniondale has a heavy concentration of legal and converted two-family homes along Charles Lindbergh Boulevard, near the Coliseum, and south of Hempstead Turnpike. Owners worn out from holdover tenants, non-paying occupants, and Nassau housing court timelines that drag 8 to 18 months are a regular call. We buy occupied: paying, non-paying, holdover, or in active eviction. The downstairs unit doesn’t need to be ready to show.
Multigenerational Caribbean, African-American, and immigrant family heirs. Uniondale has deep roots in Caribbean, African-American, and longtime immigrant homeownership going back to the 1960s and 70s. As original owners pass, heirs often live in Atlanta, Charlotte, Florida, Trinidad, Jamaica, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, or other states and countries. Coordinating across borders through Nassau Surrogate’s Court with multi-state and international heir signing is the kind of work that drags retail listings for a year. We close remotely with documents accepted through proper channels.
Houses near the Hub redevelopment plus Meadowbrook Parkway adjacency. The Nassau Hub area, including the Coliseum site and surrounding parcels, has been in active redevelopment conversation for years. Traffic patterns, parking, and street-level experience have changed for nearby owners. Some are ready to cash out before the next construction wave. Others are heirs who don’t want to wait through a long redevelopment cycle. Same with parkway-adjacent properties: highway noise and reduced retail buyer pool stop a listing cold, not us.
Other reasons sellers call us:
Investor exits and small rental portfolio liquidations as carrying costs creep up
- Pre-foreclosure with a Nassau County auction date set, vacant homes, divorce sales, tax liens, and clouded titles
- Tax pressure on fixed-income owners and heirs paying carrying costs on empty inherited houses
- Hoarder conditions, full estate cleanouts, fire/water/storm damage, major repairs the owner can’t fund
- Open Town of Hempstead permits, code violations, and unpermitted basement apartments or accessory units

What Uniondale Homeowners Say
“I bought a Uniondale house in 2007 specifically to rent to Hofstra students. For the first ten years it worked great. The last seven years wore me down. Every May I was patching walls, replacing doors, and chasing security deposits. The house had not been properly maintained because I was always between tenants. I wasn’t going to put $50,000 into it just to flip and sell. Prime Realty Buyers understood the realities of student rental wear and gave me a fair number on the property as it stood.”
“I owned a legal two-family for almost two decades. The neighborhood is fine, but the rental side just got harder over the years. I had a holdover situation in 2024 that took eight months to resolve. By the end of it I was completely finished with being a landlord. Prime Realty Buyers bought the property with the upstairs tenant still in place and the downstairs unit still showing damage. I didn’t have to lift a finger.”
“My grandmother bought her Uniondale house in 1969. She lived in it her whole adult life. When she passed, the house went to my mother, my aunt, and my uncle. My mother is in Atlanta, my aunt is in Charlotte, and my uncle is here on Long Island. Three time zones, three different schedules, and 55 years of belongings. Prime Realty Buyers worked with our probate attorney, accepted documents from all three signers, and we closed without any of them having to fly up.”
“My uncle’s house was a few blocks from the Coliseum. After he passed, the house sat empty for almost a year while we worked through probate. The traffic patterns around there have changed a lot in the last few years and we just wanted to be done with the property before the next round of construction started. Prime Realty Buyers had a contract to us within 48 hours and closed in three weeks.”
“I picked up a Uniondale cape in 2016 as part of a small rental portfolio. Eight years later, the carrying costs had crept up, the tenant had become difficult, and the rehab number kept growing every time I looked at it. I needed to liquidate and reposition. Prime Realty Buyers bought it occupied, gave me a fair number, and closed in 19 days.”

Frequently Asked Questions
My Uniondale house has years of student rental wear. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Damage from rotating student tenants is something we factor into the offer, not something that stops a deal. Patched walls, worn floors, missing doors, and general wear are normal for the rental properties we look at near Hofstra and NCC.
Do you buy two-family and multi-family homes in Uniondale?
Yes. Two-family, three-family, and small multi-family rentals are a regular part of what we buy in Uniondale. Including occupied properties.
Will you buy a Uniondale rental with tenants still in it?
Yes. We buy occupied properties, including ones with paying tenants, non-paying tenants, holdover tenants, or active eviction proceedings. You don’t have to deliver the property vacant, and you don’t have to wait out Nassau housing court before selling.
What about houses near the Coliseum, the Hub, or Hofstra?
We buy them. Construction adjacency, event traffic, parking concerns, and student-area dynamics don’t change our willingness to make an offer.
Do you buy houses backing up to or near the Meadowbrook Parkway?
Yes. Highway adjacency, traffic noise, and reduced retail buyer interest don’t stop us from making an offer.
Do you buy houses with unpermitted basement apartments or accessory units?
Yes. Unpermitted finished basements, illegal accessory units, and unpermitted two-family conversions are situations we handle directly. We take on the resolution after closing.
Can you handle estates with heirs in other states or countries?
Yes. We work with out-of-state and international heirs every week, including heirs in Atlanta, Charlotte, Florida, Trinidad, Jamaica, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and beyond. Documents can be signed and notarized remotely through standard channels, including consular notarization where needed. Closing happens at a Nassau County title company.
Can you buy an inherited Uniondale home that's still in probate?
Yes. We work with families in Uniondale every month who are mid-probate. We sign a contract while probate is pending and close as soon as the attorney has Letters Testamentary in hand. Surrogate’s Court is in Mineola, which makes coordination straightforward.
I'm a small-portfolio investor looking to liquidate. Can you handle a multi-property exit?
Yes. Investor liquidations are a regular conversation, especially as carrying costs creep up and tenant situations get harder. We can run multiple Uniondale properties through closing on a coordinated schedule, including occupied properties, and you don’t have to wait until all your tenants are out.
What if I owe more on the mortgage than the house is worth?
Call anyway. Uniondale has a meaningful share of underwater properties, especially on multi-family rentals where carrying costs and tenant situations flipped the math. We sometimes structure short sales. We’ll be straight about whether the numbers work in your specific case.
