If your Smyrna house has a roof that leaks, a furnace that doesn't work, walls with holes, floors that rot, or a kitchen that hasn't been touched since 1972 — Tony still buys. As-is, anywhere in Chenango County, New York.
The kind of cape property Tony has bought in Smyrna.
Chenango County is Norwich, Oxford, Sherburne, and Greene — 1850s-1900s village homes, dairy farms, and hillside camps. Norwich Pharmaceuticals and NBT Bank's Norwich headquarters are the two anchors in a county that lost most of its dairy and manufacturing base.
Chenango effective rates run roughly 2.8-3.4% of full value on low assessed values; school taxes are the biggest piece of most bills.

Tony has bought Chenango County houses with: cracked foundations, asbestos siding, knob-and-tube wiring, lead paint everywhere, mold in three rooms, raccoons in the attic, basements that flood every spring, additions built without permits. None of these stop the deal in Smyrna.
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 Smyrna property within an hour.
Correct. The number Tony quotes you on the phone is the number you walk away with. No inspection, no repair list, no credit deductions, no "after we got a closer look" surprises. As-is means as-is.
Tony buys it. Cracked foundations, settled walls, fire-damaged kitchens, flooded basements, mold throughout — all of it has been bought before. The offer reflects condition; the deal still happens.
Yes. Furniture, clothing, garbage, food in the fridge, the broken washer in the basement, the car in the driveway. Tony hauls it after closing. You don't lift a finger.
Knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized pipes, fuse boxes, ungrounded outlets — Tony has bought Smyrna-area houses with all of these. They're priced into the offer; they don't kill the deal.
Tony's offer reflects what it'll take to make the property re-sellable, plus a return. It's transparent. The cheaper your house is to fix, the better your offer. The worse the condition, the lower the offer — but the deal still happens.
As-is, anywhere in Chenango County. Call 1-908-768-4759 and stop pouring money into your Smyrna house.
