Sewered, Flooded, And Still Mostly Original
West Islip has two things most of Suffolk doesn’t: the Southwest Sewer District under most of its streets, and a hospital in the middle of town. Good Samaritan sits on Montauk Highway and the hamlet spreads out from it. South of the highway the canal streets of the Sequams and the blocks off Secatogue Lane and Beach Drive run to the Great South Bay, and they took water in October 2012. North of it to Sunrise and the Southern State it’s 1950s and 60s capes, splits, and ranches off Higbie Lane and Udall Road, built for young families now in their eighties. The Town of Islip governs the permits. There’s no station; Babylon, on the Babylon branch, is where the town parks.
So the West Islip seller is usually one of two people. The child of an original owner, holding a cape with the first kitchen, an oil tank under the lawn, and a basement full of sixty years. Or a canal street owner who rebuilt after Sandy, never finished the paperwork, and can’t get a buyer past the flood insurance quote. Prime Realty Buyers buys both, as they stand, along with the estate that’s still in court and the rental near the hospital where the tenant stopped paying. We can close on a West Islip house in as little as 7 days.
Why West Islip Homeowners Sell To Prime Realty Buyers
West Islip houses were built in one push and they’re changing hands in one push. The buyer’s lender wants every one of them brought up to today: the flood zone, the tank, the panel, the permit. The seller usually just wants it over.
We make a direct cash offer, explain it line by line, and close on your date. No repairs, no elevation certificate, no commissions.

You don’t raise the house. You don’t pull the tank. You don’t empty the basement.

Why Choose Prime Realty Buyers
Prime Realty Buyers is a local Long Island buyer. We close in West Islip and across the Town of Islip every month, and the person who walks the house is the person who writes the offer. We explain the number, what we factored in for the flood zone, the tank, or the tenant, and we put proof of funds in writing on request.
We work with your attorney and your executor and we close on your date. If Mom’s move to assisted living is in November, we close in November. If the flood policy renews in three weeks and you’d rather not pay it again, we close before it does.

Real West Islip Seller Stories
My mother’s house on a canal street in the Sequams sat in probate for seven months while the flood policy and the taxes drained the estate. Prime Realty Buyers signed a contract in month two and waited. No calls, no pressure. When the court issued Letters, Chris closed in eight days. The Sandy repairs had never been permitted and he never asked about them.
Dad bought the split off Higbie Lane in 1959 and everything in it was original, including the fuse box. My brother lives in Denver and I’m in Florida. Prime Realty Buyers bought it with the furniture, the tools, and the tank under the lawn, arranged both signings by mail, and closed in four weeks. Chris explained the number to both of us on the same call.
Two buyers walked from our house off Secatogue Lane after their flood insurance quotes came back. We’d rebuilt the first floor after Sandy and never got the elevation certificate. Chris said the zone was already in his number. Prime Realty Buyers closed in 20 days, no certificate, no engineer, no third quote. We moved to the Carolinas that month.
Fifty years on the same street off Udall Road. Every neighbor knew us and I did not want a sign on the lawn or strangers in my kitchen. Prime Realty Buyers came once, made the offer in writing the next day, and gave us until our place near our son was ready. Closed in nine weeks, on our date. Nobody knew until the truck came.
I rented my late father’s cape near Good Samaritan for years, mostly to hospital staff. The last tenant stopped paying in 2024 and the case stalled in Central Islip. Prime Realty Buyers bought the house occupied, took the case over, and closed in 24 days. Chris never once asked me to get the tenant out first. I was done being a landlord.

Frequently Asked Questions, West Islip
My West Islip house is on a canal street and took water in Sandy. Do you buy in the flood zone?
Yes. The Sequams, Secatogue Lane, and the Beach Drive blocks are a large part of what we buy in West Islip. The flood zone is in our number from the start. No elevation certificate, no insurance quote, no engineer, and no problem if the repairs after October 2012 were never permitted.
We converted to gas years ago and the oil tank is still under the lawn. Do I have to remove it?
No. We buy the house with the tank in the ground and handle the abandonment under county rules after closing. A lender would want it pulled and tested first. We pay cash, so there’s no lender.
West Islip is in the Southwest Sewer District. Does that change anything?
It helps. Most West Islip streets are sewered, so the cesspool problem that stops sales elsewhere in Suffolk usually isn’t the issue here. What we see instead is the tank, the original panel, the flood zone, and the permits. We buy through all of it.
The house near Good Samaritan has a tenant who stopped paying. Will you still buy it?
Yes. We buy it occupied and take on the tenancy and the case, whether it’s a holdover or a nonpayment matter in Central Islip. You never have to finish the eviction, and nobody asks the tenant to leave for a showing.
There's no LIRR station in West Islip. Does that affect the offer?
No. West Islip buyers have always driven to Babylon, and we price on West Islip comparables, not the train. The offer is about the house, the lot, and what it needs.
My parents' cape off Higbie Lane hasn't been updated since 1958. Is that a problem?
It’s the most common West Islip house we buy. First kitchen, first bathroom, the fuse box, the oil boiler. We price the updates into the offer, show you how, and you don’t replace a thing.
The estate is still in Surrogate's Court. Can Prime Realty Buyers wait for Letters?
Yes. We sign a contract with the executor now and close the week the court issues Letters. If the estate is paying flood insurance and taxes on an empty house in the meantime, closing fast after Letters is where you come out ahead.
What does it cost to sell to Prime Realty Buyers?
Nothing. 0% commissions, no closing costs charged to you, no fees. The written offer is what you walk away with, less only what you owe on the house.
