What kinds of houses does Tony buy in Big Flats?
Single-families, two-families, three-families, four-families, condos, townhomes, mobile homes, vacant lots with tear-down structures. Any property type in Big Flats — Tony buys it.
"We buy houses" is what every flyer in Big Flats says. Tony actually does it — and pays cash, sight-unseen, on any house in Chemung County, New York. No bait, no switch, no lowball after a "second look."

The kind of ranch property Tony has bought in Big Flats.
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.

Every kind of property in Big Flats comes through Tony's pipeline. Inherited Victorians, post-war ranches, two-family flats, townhomes, condos, even mobile homes on rented lots. Chemung County sellers call Tony when they want it sold — not listed, not "marketed," not staged. Sold. Tony pulls comps, gives a number, and closes.
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.
