Selling a parent's house is hard. The belongings, the memories, the siblings who all want different things. There's no rush to sort through their things. You don't have to do that to move forward. Take what's sentimental, leave the rest, walk.
Tony has bought inherited The Bronx houses where the parents passed three months ago, three years ago, and twenty years ago. Bronx County estate procedures are routine; Tony has worked with attorneys on dozens of these.
The kind of cape property Tony has bought in The Bronx.
Bronx County is a mix of detached homes (Riverdale, Throggs Neck, Country Club) and dense multi-family (Mott Haven, Hunts Point, Soundview). Tony buys both.
Bronx NYC Class 1 and Class 2 rates apply; multi-family above 3 units triggers Class 2 with higher effective rates.

Bronx County probate timelines vary by county and complexity. Simple estates can move in 4-6 months; contested ones take a year or more. Tony works at any stage: pre-probate (with an executor), in probate (with court approval), or post-probate (clean title). Most The Bronx inherited deals close while the estate is still open.
The Bronx has detached houses in north and east neighborhoods, plus multi-families everywhere. Tony buys row houses, two-families, and three-families anywhere from Riverdale down to Mott Haven. The south and west Bronx are five- and six-story pre-war walk-ups and Art Deco elevator buildings along the Grand Concourse, almost all rent-stabilized; the northeast — Wakefield, Williamsbridge, Morris Park, Throggs Neck, Pelham Bay — is detached and semi-detached 1920s–50s frame and brick two- and three-families; Riverdale is Tudors and co-ops; Co-op City is a 15,000-unit Mitchell-Lama.
Bronx sellers who call Tony fall into two groups. Homeowners in the northeast Bronx — often Caribbean, Italian, and Albanian families — are settling a parent's estate on a two-family with a basement apartment the City never saw and a tenant who stopped paying. Small landlords in the south and west Bronx are done fighting a rent-stabilized walk-up with HPD violations, a boiler on its last legs, and rents frozen since the 2019 rent law. Both have found that a listing means inspections, bank appraisals, and buyers who vanish. Tony buys occupied, as-is, violations included, and gives one number on the phone that closes on your date.
Bronx sellers pay the NYC RPTT (1% up to $500,000, 1.425% above) and the 0.4% NYS transfer tax; Tony nets both. Multi-family buildings with six or more units built before 1974 are rent-stabilized, and tenants transfer with their leases and DHCR registrations intact. Bronx County Surrogate's Court on the Grand Concourse issues the letters an executor needs; Tony signs a contract as soon as they issue. Co-op City and other Mitchell-Lama buildings have resale restrictions Tony will explain honestly on the phone.
Every cash buyer, Tony included, starts from the same three numbers: what the house would sell for fully renovated, what it costs to get it there, and how long that takes. The offer is that finished value minus the repairs, minus the buyer's resale costs and margin. In practice that lands most cash offers somewhere around 70–85% of the renovated value, less repairs. The honest comparison is not against a renovated house's list price — it is against what you would actually net from a NY listing after commission, repairs, and months of carrying costs.
| Line item | List with an agent | Sell to Tony |
|---|---|---|
| What the house would sell for fully renovated | $400,000 | $400,000 |
| Repairs a retail buyer's lender will demand | − $45,000 | Tony's problem |
| Agent commission (5–6%) | − $20,000 to $24,000 | $0 |
| Inspection credits, seller closing costs, concessions | − $8,000 to $12,000 | $0 |
| Taxes, insurance, mortgage, utilities while you wait (3–6 months) | − $9,000 to $15,000 | $0 |
| Time to cash in hand | 4 to 7 months | 7 to 14 days |
| What you actually walk away with | ≈ $305,000 to $318,000 | Tony's number, in full, on your date |
Whether Tony's number beats that listing net depends on the house. On a move-in-ready home in a hot NYmarket it usually will not, and Tony will tell you to list. On a house that needs work, has tenants, sits in an estate, or carries violations — the houses retail buyers cannot finance — it is often close, and the seven-day timeline is the difference. Call 1-908-768-4759, get the number, and compare it yourself.

Contact
Drop your number and Tony reaches out about your The Bronx property within an hour.
In most cases, yes. The executor or administrator (with court authority) can sign. Tony's title company handles the documentation. Many The Bronx inherited deals close before probate fully concludes.
Tony makes one offer; the title company splits proceeds per the estate documents or your written agreement. Heirs can be in different states, different countries — sign remotely with a notary or e-sign service. Bronx County title companies handle this routinely.
Yes. Take what's sentimental — photo albums, jewelry, anything that matters. Leave the rest. Tony's crew clears the property after closing. You don't have to spend weekends sorting through a lifetime of stuff.
Tony's title company pays them at closing out of the proceeds. Same with utility bills, HOA dues, lien notices. You walk away clean.
If the estate is straightforward, often no. If it's contested, complex, or has out-of-state assets, an attorney is wise. Tony works alongside whatever attorney you have or refers you to The Bronx-area probate attorneys when needed.
Yes — from Riverdale and Wakefield down to Mott Haven and Hunts Point. Detached two-families in Williamsbridge and Throggs Neck, brick rows in Morris Park, walk-ups in Tremont and Morrisania, frames in Soundview, and co-ops and condos anywhere. One call with the address gets you a number.
Yes. Tony buys occupied rent-stabilized buildings on their real rent roll, with every tenant staying and every HPD, DOB, and ECB violation transferring to him at closing. You don't need vacancies, buyouts, or repairs. He'll want the DHCR registration and current rents so his number reflects the building as it actually operates.
No. Basement and attic apartments without a certificate of occupancy are everywhere in Wakefield, Williamsbridge, Soundview, and Throggs Neck, and Tony buys them with the tenant in place. A DOB vacate order, if there is one, transfers with the house. Don't rip out the kitchen before you call.
Usually not as the buyer himself. Co-op City is a Mitchell-Lama cooperative with income limits and a resale process that goes through Riverbay, which keeps investors out. Tony will tell you that straight on the phone. For houses, condos, and market-rate co-ops anywhere else in the Bronx, he's the buyer.
