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.

How Senior Downsizing Works in Big Flats
What Tony handles for senior sellers in Chemung County: the cash offer over the phone (no in-person tour required), the title work, the closing logistics at a local title company, the move-out timing (Tony works around medical appointments, family schedules, and assisted-living move-in dates), and the cleanout of everything left in the Big Flats home after closing.
How a Cash Offer on a Big Flats House Is Actually Built
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.

Questions From Big Flats Sellers
What if my Big Flats house hasn't been updated in 30+ years?
That's most of Tony's purchases. Old kitchens, original bathrooms, decades-old carpet, knob-and-tube wiring — Tony prices condition into the cash offer. You don't fix anything.
Can I time the Big Flats sale to my assisted-living move-in date?
Yes. The closing date is set by you, not Tony. Most senior sellers pick a closing that lines up with their move into senior living so the proceeds are available when needed.
What about the furniture and belongings in the Big Flats house?
Take what's sentimental. Leave the rest. Tony's crew clears the house after closing. Most senior sellers find this is the single biggest stress relief — they don't have to sort through a lifetime of stuff.
What if I'm using a Medicaid spend-down strategy on the Big Flats sale?
Talk to your elder-law attorney first. Tony works alongside the attorney on the timing and structure of the sale to fit Medicaid planning needs.
