Sell A Nassau County House Without Flying Back. Out-Of-State And International Heirs Close Remotely For Cash.
Direct cash offers for Long Island heirs and homeowners across the US and overseas. DocuSign, apostille certification, US embassy notary, heirship affidavit closings, and multi-country sibling coordination all standard in our workflow.
You inherited the Nassau house from across the country. Or across the Atlantic. The probate runs in Mineola Surrogate’s Court but you live in Phoenix, Dublin, Manila, or Santo Domingo. You can’t fly back every two weeks. The seller is the out-of-state inheritor of a parent’s house, the international heir of an aunt’s estate, the executor working a Nassau probate from another country, or the family coordinating among siblings in three time zones. Prime Realty Buyers buys Long Island houses from out-of-state and international heirs remotely. Closings happen without flights and without trips back.
WE BUY:
- Sold completely as-is. We never ask remote heirs to coordinate a cleanout, repair list, or staging visit.
- Zero repairs required. Demo, mold remediation, cleanout, and rebuild all absorbed at closing.
- Zero commissions. No listing-side fee. No buyer-side credit. No travel costs for the seller.
- All-cash offers. No mortgage contingency. Wire transfers to US bank accounts or coordinated international banking.
- Close in 14 to 30 days. DocuSign and electronic signature standard. In-person presence not required.
- Apostille, international notary, multi-language attorney coordination, and heirship affidavits all handled.

Why Out-Of-State And International Heirs Sell Long Island Houses To Us
Distance changes nothing about a Long Island house sale. The Nassau system runs on Nassau time. Surrogate’s Court hearings, title searches, lien searches, Department of Health citations, code enforcement, water bills, all of it accumulates while you are 2,500 miles away or 5,500 miles away. We buy from heirs who never set foot on Long Island again.
Flights back and forth cost more than most heirs expect.
A retail listing typically requires three to five trips: initial walkthrough, pre-listing prep meeting, inspection coordination, closing attendance, and at least one emergency trip when something goes sideways. From California, $3,500 to $5,000 in flights alone. From Europe, $5,000 to $8,000. From Asia, $7,000 to $12,000. Add hotels, time off work, rental cars, and child-care coverage at home. The retail commission saves nothing once the travel cost is real.
Walkthrough and closing happen remotely from your location.
A local cousin, friend, or attorney walks the property with us on FaceTime or Zoom. We handle the exterior assessment ourselves. Written cash offer arrives within 24 hours. Contract signs through DocuSign. Closing happens with a remote notary, a notary at your local US bank, an apostilled notary if you are international, or a US embassy notary if your country requires one. Wire transfers to your US bank account or, with prior coordination, to an international account through your closing attorney’s escrow.
Heirship affidavit closings when the estate qualifies.
Some inherited Nassau County houses can be sold without waiting for full Surrogate’s Court probate, even when there is an unprobated will, if the title company approves the file. In those cases, we work with title professionals to review the death certificate, will, family tree, lawful heirs, beneficiaries, and anyone else who may need to sign, then structure the closing with heirship affidavits and deeds from the required parties. Not every estate qualifies, and all heirs or devisees may need to cooperate, but when the facts line up, this can save months of court delay, reduce legal expense, and turn a stuck inherited house into a clean cash closing.
International document handling adds steps, not obstacles.
Apostille certification (Hague Convention) for documents originating outside the US runs $20 to $150 per document through state secretaries or consular offices. Non-Hague countries require consular legalization, which takes longer but is routine. US embassy notary services are available in most major cities for American citizens abroad. Power of attorney structures for absent heirs are reviewed by both your overseas attorney and our closing attorney. Multi-language communication through bilingual paralegals when needed. We work with international heirs across thirty-plus countries and the pathways are well-established.
Other reasons out-of-state and international heirs sell Long Island houses to us:
- Multi-heir coordination across time zones handled through one streamlined contract
- Nassau-county-specific filings (Department of Health, code enforcement, water authority) handled by us
- Insurance lapse, property tax delinquency, and accumulated maintenance issues absorbed at closing
- US bank account not required (international wire setup available with prior coordination)
You sign from your kitchen table or a US embassy. We handle Nassau.

Real Seller Stories
“My mother emigrated from Dublin in 1962 and bought the Hempstead house in 1971. She passed in 2023. I returned to Ireland in 1998 and have lived in Dublin for twenty-six years. The probate was in Nassau County and I could not fly back every time the attorney needed something. Prime Realty Buyers worked with my Dublin solicitor, structured the closing with documents apostilled through the Irish foreign affairs office, and closed in five weeks. I signed at the US Consulate in Dublin. The wire arrived in my Bank of Ireland account three days later. I never flew.”
Niamh, Hempstead (living in Dublin, Ireland)
“My father immigrated to Long Island in 1979 and worked on the railroad for thirty-three years. He bought the Plainview house in 1986. After my mother passed in 2019 he lived alone. He passed in 2024 and I am his only daughter. I live in Mumbai with my husband and two children. Flying back is not something I can do casually. Prime Realty Buyers handled the entire sale remotely. My closing attorney spoke with theirs across the time difference. Documents went through the US Consulate in Mumbai. Closed in six weeks. I never made the trip.”
Padma, Plainview (living in Mumbai, India)
“Mi tía vivía en Inwood por casi cuarenta años. Nunca se casó y dejó la casa a sus tres sobrinos en Colombia. Soy el mayor y manejé el proceso desde Bogotá. La barrera del idioma con los abogados americanos era difícil pero Prime Realty Buyers tenía un paralegal que hablaba español. Coordinamos todo por video. Mis hermanos firmaron en consulados americanos en Bogotá y Medellín. La transferencia electrónica llegó a una cuenta de fideicomiso del abogado y luego se dividió entre los tres hermanos. Nunca tuvimos que volar a Nueva York.”
Sebastián, Inwood (viviendo en Bogotá, Colombia)
“My grandmother lived in the Uniondale house from 1968 until she passed in 2024. She and my grandfather raised five children there. By the time she passed, all five children and most of the grandchildren lived in Atlanta, Charlotte, or DC. I am the executor. Coordinating with five aunts and uncles across the South while running a Nassau probate from Atlanta was not realistic. Prime Realty Buyers closed with us through DocuSign from five different states. We never flew up. The closing happened on a Wednesday and my aunt cried because she had her piece of grandma’s estate finally settled.”
Imani, Uniondale (living in Atlanta, Georgia)
“My father came to Long Island in 1981 for engineering work and never returned to Japan to live. He bought the Hicksville house in 1992. He passed in 2023. I returned to Tokyo permanently in 2008 and run a business there. The time difference made calls with attorneys exhausting. Prime Realty Buyers scheduled calls at 8 AM Tokyo time which was 6 PM the previous day in New York. Documents went through the US Embassy in Tokyo with apostille certification. Wire transfer to my Japanese bank account took three days. Closing happened without my flying back.”
Yusuke, Hicksville (living in Tokyo, Japan)

FAQs
Can I sell a Nassau County house if I live out of state?
Yes. Out-of-state heirs and homeowners sell to us regularly without flying back. Contract execution is DocuSign-based, closing happens through remote or local notary, and wire transfers go to your US bank account. Most of our out-of-state sellers never make the trip back to Long Island for the transaction.
Can I sell a Nassau County house if I live in another country?
Yes. International heirs sell to us from Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, and Australia regularly. Documents originating outside the US require either apostille certification (Hague Convention member countries) or consular legalization (non-Hague countries). The process is well-established and we work with attorneys familiar with both pathways.
What is an apostille and when do I need one?
An apostille is a certificate authenticating a public document for use in another Hague Convention country. If you sign in your home country (Ireland, Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, Brazil, and 120+ others), documents typically need apostille certification before a US real estate closing can accept them. The certificate is issued through your country’s foreign affairs office and usually takes 1 to 3 weeks.
What if my country is not in the Hague Convention?
Non-Hague countries require consular legalization instead of apostille. The documents are authenticated through the US Embassy or Consulate in your country. The process takes longer but is routine and we coordinate with attorneys experienced in these matters.
¿Puedo vender una casa heredada en Long Island si vivo en otro país?
Sí. Compramos casas en Long Island de herederos que viven fuera de Estados Unidos regularmente, en países de América Latina, el Caribe, Europa, Asia, África, y Oceanía. Los documentos firmados fuera de Estados Unidos requieren apostilla (para países del Convenio de La Haya) o legalización consular (para países que no son del Convenio). Trabajamos con abogados experimentados en ambos procesos. Llame al 516-218-0365 y le explicamos en español todo el proceso completo.
The estate is in probate but I cannot attend Surrogate’s Court in Mineola. What now?
You typically do not need to attend Surrogate’s Court in person to administer a Nassau probate. Your probate attorney appears on your behalf. Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration can be issued without your personal appearance once the petition and supporting documents are filed. From abroad, you sign the petition documents through US embassy notary or apostilled notary and your attorney files them.
What is a heirship affidavit closing and when does it apply?
Some inherited Nassau County houses can be sold without waiting for full Surrogate’s Court probate, even when there is an unprobated will, if the title company approves the file. We work with title professionals to review the death certificate, will, family tree, lawful heirs, beneficiaries, and anyone else who may need to sign, then structure the closing with heirship affidavits and deeds from the required parties. Not every estate qualifies, and all heirs or devisees may need to cooperate, but when the facts line up, this can save months of court delay and turn a stuck inherited house into a clean cash closing.
How does the wire transfer work if I do not have a US bank account?
Two paths. The cleaner option is to wire to your closing attorney’s escrow account in the US, then have your attorney remit to your home-country account through their banking relationships. The alternate option is direct international wire to your home-country account, which requires more documentation but is workable with prior coordination.
There are five heirs in three different countries. Can you still close?
Yes. Multi-country, multi-heir closings are routine for us. We typically coordinate one group video call with all heirs early in the process to align on the offer and the timeline. Each heir signs their documents in their own country with appropriate apostille or consular legalization. The closing attorney coordinates the document flow. Wire transfer proceeds are split per the contract distribution.
Can a single heir sell a Nassau house if the will leaves it to multiple people?
Not unilaterally. All heirs or devisees with an interest must consent and sign, or be represented by an executor or administrator with court authority to sell. An executor named in the will sometimes has unilateral selling authority once probated. Our closing attorney works with your probate attorney to confirm the chain of authority.
Property taxes, water bills, and code citations are piling up from abroad. Do you handle those?
Yes. Property tax delinquency, Nassau County water authority arrearages, Village or Town code citations, and similar accumulated charges all clear at closing from the proceeds. You don’t wire money from abroad to bring the account current beforehand. The closing disclosure reflects all liens and charges paid from the sale proceeds.
Are there any fees, commissions, or closing costs I pay?
No. We pay customary closing costs including title insurance, recording fees, and transfer taxes. No realtor commission. No buyer credits. No inspection requests. The contract price minus any liens, payoffs, accumulated charges, and apostille fees on your side is what hits your account.
