Words From a Recent Seller

“After 40 years in our home in Albany, we knew it was time to downsize. We didn’t want to go through listings or open houses. Keystone made it so easy—they gave us a fair offer, took care of everything, and let us choose the closing date. We’re so glad we called.”

I’m truly grateful for how Keystone handled the entire process.

After inheriting my parents’ house in Schenectady, I was overwhelmed with the idea of fixing it up and putting it on the market. Keystone Home Buyers stepped in and took care of everything. They bought the home as-is, paid all the closing costs, and made the entire process so easy. I’m truly grateful for how Keystone handled the entire process.

Highly recommend them if you need to sell fast!

I needed to sell my house in Troy fast after a job relocation and didn’t have time to deal with agents or repairs. Keystone Home Buyers made me a fair cash offer within 24 hours and closed in less than a week. No hidden fees, no stress—just exactly what they promised. Highly recommend them if you need to sell fast!
