Selling a parent's house is hard. The belongings, the memories, the siblings who all want different things. There's no rush to sort through their things. You don't have to do that to move forward. Take what's sentimental, leave the rest, walk.
When mom or dad passes, the house in Schuyler becomes a problem. Maybe siblings can't agree. Maybe nobody wants to spend a year cleaning it out. Maybe Herkimer County property taxes are due and nobody's paying. Tony buys it now, in any state of affairs.
The kind of ranch property Tony has bought in Schuyler.
Herkimer County runs from Mohawk Valley mill towns — Herkimer, Ilion, Little Falls' 1800s canal-era stock, Frankfort, and Dolgeville — up to Adirondack camps at Old Forge and the Fulton Chain of Lakes. Remington Arms' Ilion plant, closed in 2024 after more than 200 years, and Herkimer College move the valley market; Old Forge is a separate second-home market.
Herkimer effective rates run roughly 2.5-3.2% of full value in the valley; Old Forge (Town of Webb) is far lower because of Forest Preserve land and second-home values.

When multiple heirs are involved on a Schuyler house, Tony makes one offer, sends the funds to the title company, and the title company splits proceeds per the estate documents or the heirs' agreement. No heir has to drive to the closing — most sign remotely. Even heirs who haven't spoken in years can close without seeing each other.
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 Schuyler property within an hour.
In most cases, yes. The executor or administrator (with court authority) can sign. Tony's title company handles the documentation. Many Schuyler inherited deals close before probate fully concludes.
Tony makes one offer; the title company splits proceeds per the estate documents or your written agreement. Heirs can be in different states, different countries — sign remotely with a notary or e-sign service. Herkimer County title companies handle this routinely.
Yes. Take what's sentimental — photo albums, jewelry, anything that matters. Leave the rest. Tony's crew clears the property after closing. You don't have to spend weekends sorting through a lifetime of stuff.
Tony's title company pays them at closing out of the proceeds. Same with utility bills, HOA dues, lien notices. You walk away clean.
If the estate is straightforward, often no. If it's contested, complex, or has out-of-state assets, an attorney is wise. Tony works alongside whatever attorney you have or refers you to Schuyler-area probate attorneys when needed.
