Live in California, Florida, or anywhere else, but own a property in Bronx County? Tony makes a cash offer over the phone and closes the entire New York transaction remotely. You sign with a notary in your home state and never set foot in Wakefield.
Owning a property thousands of miles away wears on you. Property taxes you can't easily pay. Code letters from a town you don't visit. Tenants or family members or strangers sending updates that don't add up. The flight back to fix one thing turns into three flights. Tony has closed dozens of remote sales for owners living out of state. You don't fly back. Tony handles everything from this end.
Tony's standard out-of-state closing process for Bronx County properties: cash offer call (you stay where you are), title work and contract signing via remote notary in your home state, wire-transfer of proceeds to your home-state bank account. Total time: 7-14 days from first call.
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.

Carrying costs on a remote Bronx County property add up quickly: property taxes ($4K-$15K/year typical), vacant-home insurance (50-100% premium over occupied), occasional emergency maintenance, and the time/cost of the trips back you have to make. A remote close to Tony stops the meter the day the deed transfers.
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.

Yes. Remote notarization is fully recognized in NJ and NY. You sign with a notary in your home state, the documents are video-witnessed by a remote notary, and the deed records normally.
Wire transfer to your home-state bank account on the closing date. Same day the deed records, the funds hit.
That's most of Tony's out-of-state purchases. Tony's offer is based on public records, recent Wakefield comps, and your description. Whatever condition the property is in, the offer accounts for it.
Yes. POA documents are accepted at closing. Many out-of-state Wakefield sellers have a family member or attorney sign as POA for convenience.
Tony's title company pays them at closing from the proceeds. Same with code violations, water/sewer arrears, or any other municipal liens.
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.
