What does Tony need to buy a Hunter probate property?
Letters testamentary or letters of administration showing the executor or administrator has authority. Tony's title company handles the rest of the Greene County-specific paperwork.
Tony has been the buyer on dozens of Greene County probate properties — from simple estates with one heir and clean letters testamentary to contested estates with multiple heirs across multiple states. The mechanics work; the closing happens.

The kind of ranch property Tony has bought in Hunter.
Greene County is the northern Catskills: Catskill's 1800s Main Street row houses, Coxsackie and Athens river villages, and Windham and Hunter ski-area second homes and Tannersville cabins. Hunter Mountain, Windham Mountain, and NYC weekend buyers drive the mountaintop, while Coxsackie's two state prisons and county jobs in Catskill anchor the river side.
Greene effective rates are roughly 1.8-2.5% of full value, lower than the Southern Tier; mountaintop towns lean on second-home owners who pay full school tax with no STAR exemption.

In Greene County, an executor or administrator with proper letters can sign a sale contract. Some sales require court confirmation; others don't, depending on the estate. Tony's title company handles the Greene County-specific documentation. Hunter executors only need to provide the letters and sign — Tony's team does the rest.
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.

Letters testamentary or letters of administration showing the executor or administrator has authority. Tony's title company handles the rest of the Greene County-specific paperwork.
It depends on the estate and the specific authority granted. Some sales need court confirmation, some don't. Tony's title company and your attorney coordinate this — you don't need to know the rules.
Tony can still make an offer and lock in terms now. Closing happens once letters are issued — usually 30-90 days into Greene County probate, sometimes faster.
If the executor has authority to sell under Hunter-state law and the will, the sale can proceed. If heirs object, that's usually handled by the probate court. Your attorney advises; Tony stays patient.
No. Same offer process, same fee structure (none charged to seller), same closing process. The complexity is on Tony's side.
