How much commission do I save by selling my Ashland house to Tony directly?
5-6% of sale price. On a $300K Ashland house, that's $15,000-$18,000. On a $500K, $25,000-$30,000. You keep all of it.
Skip the agent. Skip the commission. Tony buys Ashland, New York houses directly from owners — no MLS, no listing, no 6% off the top. Whatever Tony quotes you, that's what you walk away with. Chemung County sellers save $15,000-$50,000 by going direct.

The kind of two family property Tony has bought in Ashland.
Chemung County is Elmira, Horseheads, and Big Flats — 1880s-1920s frame houses in the city and post-war capes out toward the Arnot Mall corridor. Corning Inc. commuters, Elmira College, Arnot Ogden Medical Center, and Elmira Correctional Facility drive most demand.
Chemung effective rates run roughly 2.8-3.4% of full value; the City of Elmira is the high end, Big Flats and Horseheads somewhat lower.

What you save by skipping the agent in Ashland: 5-6% commission ($20K-$40K on a typical Chemung County sale), $1,500-$3,000 in pre-listing repairs and staging, 30-90 days of mortgage payments while the property sits, and the inspection negotiations that take another 1-2% off the price.
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.

Tony is the buyer. There's no buyer to find — you're calling the buyer directly. No MLS, no Zillow listing, no showings.
MLS exposure is how agents find buyers. Tony doesn't need it because Tony already has cash and is already the buyer. The whole reason for MLS evaporates.
Sometimes a tiny bit less, sometimes more. The commission savings often more than offset any difference. And if your Ashland house needs work, has a complication, or just needs to sell fast — the agent route nets you less in the end.
No listing agreement. No exclusivity. No "right to sell." You call, Tony makes an offer, you decide. If you say no, you owe nothing — there's no contract until you sign one at closing.
Save $20K+ on a typical Chemung County sale. Call Tony at 1-908-768-4759 — direct buyer, no agent.
