What's the fastest you can close on my Minerva house?
5 days when title is clean and the seller is ready. Standard is 7 to 14 days. Tony has closed Minerva deals over a long weekend when the situation demanded it.
Cash in your hand in a week. No listing, no agent, no inspection, no buyer's mortgage to wait on. Tony closes Minerva houses in 7 to 14 days, sometimes 5.
Listing a Minerva house with an agent takes 3-6 months on average. Then 30-60 more days to close once you find a buyer. Tony's whole process — from first phone call to cash — is usually 7 to 14 days for Essex County, New York sellers.

The kind of two family property Tony has bought in Minerva.
Essex County is the Adirondack High Peaks: Lake Placid and Saranac Lake's Olympic-era lodges and camps, Ticonderoga's 1890s paper-mill housing, Keeseville, and Champlain lakefront at Port Henry and Westport. Second-home and short-term-rental demand around Lake Placid runs against a very thin year-round market.
Essex effective rates are roughly 1.6-2.3% of full value, lower than most of upstate because the state pays taxes on the vast Forest Preserve acreage; Lake Placid values push absolute bills up.

Tony has closed Minerva deals in 5 days when title was clean and the seller had paperwork ready. Most close in 7 to 14. The schedule is yours — pick a date that fits your move, your kids' school schedule, your medical appointment, your job-start date.
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.
