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.
Inheriting a Wakefield, New York house is rarely a windfall. It's belongings to sort, siblings to align, taxes piling up, and a property in Bronx County that's two states away from where you live. Tony buys inherited houses cash, as-is, full of stuff, with the family figuring out the split later.
The kind of cape property Tony has bought in Wakefield.
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.

The biggest barrier to selling an inherited Bronx County house isn't the legal process — it's the contents. Decades of furniture, photo albums, tax records, clothing, kitchen drawers, basements full of "we'll deal with it later." Tony buys the house with all of it inside. You take what's sentimental and walk. Tony handles the rest.
Wakefield is the Bronx's northernmost neighborhood and one of its most house-heavy: detached and semi-detached frame and brick two- and three-families from the 1920s through the 1950s on narrow lots, attached brick rows from the 1930s, and a handful of six-story buildings along White Plains Road under the el. It's a largely Jamaican and West Indian homeowner community, with many houses held by one family for decades and a finished basement rented out along the way.
Wakefield owners call Tony when the house on the side street off White Plains Road has become more burden than asset: a parent has passed, the deed is still in their name, the estate is in Bronx Surrogate's Court, and the basement tenant has stopped paying. Some are retiring to Jamaica or Florida and don't want to be a landlord from abroad; others got a DOB complaint on an attic conversion or a lien-sale notice for water charges. Tony buys the house with the tenants, the violations, and the belongings still inside, arranges signing from anywhere, and gives one number on the phone.
Wakefield sellers pay the NYC RPTT (1% up to $500,000, 1.425% above) and the 0.4% NYS transfer tax; Tony's offer is net of both. Basement and attic conversions show up as certificate-of-occupancy mismatches or DOB violations — a lender balks, Tony doesn't. Estates run through Bronx County Surrogate's Court, and heirs overseas sign at a U.S. embassy or before a local notary with an apostille through Tony's title company.
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.

Drop your number and Tony reaches out about your Wakefield 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 Wakefield 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 Wakefield-area probate attorneys when needed.
Yes — ZIP 10466 and the Wakefield blocks of 10470, from East 219th Street up to 241st and the Mount Vernon border, east to the Edenwald side and west to the Bronx River Parkway. Detached, semi-detached, attached brick, or a small apartment building on White Plains Road. One call with the address gets you a number.
Yes, with the tenants in place or empty. Two-families in Wakefield very often run as three or four units, and Tony buys them exactly that way. Any DOB violation or vacate order transfers to him at closing. You don't need to remove kitchens or hire an expediter first.
Yes. Once Bronx County Surrogate's Court issues letters, Tony's title company prepares the documents for signing at the U.S. Embassy in Kingston or before a Jamaican notary with an apostille, and wires your proceeds. Tony buys the house with everything still in it, so nobody has to fly up to clear it out.
Yes. Tony takes over as landlord at closing, and the Housing Court case comes with the house. You don't have to wait for a judgment or a warrant. Tell him where the case stands and what the tenant owes, and his number will reflect it — and you'll be done with the courthouse.
Stop sorting the basement. Stop arguing with siblings. Call Tony at 1-908-768-4759 and sell the Wakefield house.
