How are back property taxes paid when I sell to Tony?
The title company pays them at closing out of the sale proceeds. You don't bring a check. The county gets paid, the lien is released, and the Boston property transfers free and clear.
Behind on Property Taxes in Boston, NY? Tony Buys Your House for Cash
Owe back property taxes in Erie County? Tony's title company pays them off at closing — out of the cash proceeds. You don't bring a check. The New York tax-foreclosure clock stops the day Tony closes.

Tony has bought hundreds of Boston-area properties with back taxes, and most sellers walk away with cash on top of the payoff.

Erie County Market Context
Erie County (Buffalo) has affordable older housing stock — Victorians, Polish flats, four-squares from the early 1900s. Many properties need significant systems updates.
Erie County tax rates are among the highest in the US relative to home value, often 2.5-3.5%.

How Behind on Property Taxes Works in Boston
Many Boston sellers behind on taxes don't realize they likely have equity above the back-tax balance. A house worth $300K with $25K in back taxes still has $275K of equity (minus any mortgage). Tony's offer captures that for you. Letting it go to tax-lien sale typically zeroes that out.
How a Cash Offer on a Boston 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 Boston Sellers
What if I owe water/sewer arrears too?
Same path. Tony's title company pays municipal water/sewer liens at closing alongside the back taxes. All in one transaction.
Can Tony close before the Boston tax-lien sale?
In most cases, yes. As long as the lien sale isn't in the next 5-7 days, Tony's standard close fits inside the window.
Will I get any cash if the Boston house has back taxes and a mortgage?
Depends on equity. Tony's offer pays mortgage, then back taxes, then liens. Anything left is yours. On most NJ/NY properties with even 10% equity, sellers walk away with thousands.
What if the county already started tax-lien proceedings?
Tony has bought properties mid-proceeding. Until the lien actually sells at auction, the seller can still sell the house. Move fast.
Erie County tax delinquency? 1-908-768-4759. Tony pays the county at closing.
