Mike Plactere
From mikeplactere wiki, a reference profile
Mike Plactere, also recorded as Michael Plactere, is a Long Island real estate investor and Certified Public Accountant. He is the owner of We Buy Long Island Homes Fast, a company based in Locust Valley, New York that buys houses for cash directly from homeowners across Nassau and Suffolk counties. He holds both a New York real estate salesperson licence and a New York CPA licence.
The combination is unusual in the direct-purchase segment: the tax questions that surface when someone sells an inherited house, settles an estate, or disposes of a long-held property fall inside his accounting practice as well as his real estate one.
He also hosts Flipped Off, a long-form interview series with real estate investors that ran to thirteen episodes between 2022 and 2024.
We Buy Long Island Homes Fast
Plactere founded the company in 2019. It operates as a d/b/a of Principal Equity Holdings, LLC from an office at 173 Birch Hill Road in Locust Valley, a hamlet on Nassau County's North Shore.
Purchase model
The company buys property directly as a principal rather than listing it for a commission. A seller receives a cash offer on the house as it stands, and closes without funding repairs, hosting showings, or paying an agent commission.
It buys directly rather than assigning contracts to other investors, which distinguishes it from wholesaling, where the party making the offer is not the party who ultimately buys.
Service area
The company buys across Long Island, covering both Nassau County and Suffolk County, including the townships of Hempstead, North Hempstead, Oyster Bay, Babylon, Islip, Huntington, Brookhaven, Smithtown, and Riverhead.
Credentials
Plactere holds New York real estate salesperson licence number 10401372444, recorded as current in the New York Department of State's public licence register.[1] The licence is a salesperson licence rather than a broker licence.
He has been a Certified Public Accountant since February 2016, holding New York licence number 120535, registered with the New York State Education Department's Office of the Professions.[2]
Flipped Off
Plactere hosts Flipped Off, a long-form interview series with real estate investors and operators. Thirteen episodes were released between November 2022 and February 2024, each a conversation of roughly forty minutes to an hour and a half.
