If your Bedford-Stuyvesant 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 Kings County, New York.
The kind of row house property Tony has bought in Bedford-Stuyvesant.
Kings County (Brooklyn) is brownstones, multi-families, and pre-war apartment stock. Bedford-Stuyvesant, Crown Heights, Flatbush, Bushwick, East New York all have heavy inherited-property volume.
NYC property taxes use Class 1 (1-3 family) assessment that lags market value significantly. Effective rates vary by class but typically 0.8-1.5%.

What "as-is" actually saves you: roof replacement ($8-15K), HVAC ($5-10K), kitchen update ($15-30K), bathroom update ($8-15K), foundation work ($10-30K), mold remediation ($3-8K). Tony absorbs all of it because Tony's the one doing the work after closing. Your Bedford-Stuyvesant house gets sold in the condition you've been living with.
Bed-Stuy has one of the largest intact collections of 1880s–1910s brownstones and limestones in the country — three- and four-story rows on the side streets between Fulton Street and Broadway, most configured as two- and three-family houses. Ocean Hill and the blocks near Broadway shift to brick rows and frame houses, with NYCHA's Marcy, Tompkins, and Sumner Houses nearby. A large share of these houses have been in one family since the 1950s–70s, which is exactly the stock Tony buys.
Bed-Stuy is where Tony sees the most inherited brownstones with too many heirs and too little agreement. Grandma bought in 1968, the deed is still in her name, and the estate has been sitting in Kings County Surrogate's Court while cousins argue. Others are landlords worn down by a tenant who stopped paying, an HPD lead-paint order, or a DOB stop-work order on a botched renovation. Deed theft is a real problem here — Bed-Stuy owners have had houses stolen with forged signatures — so Tony closes only through a licensed title company with your own attorney at the table, never with a paper signed on the porch. He gives one number on the phone and closes on your date.
A Bed-Stuy seller pays the NYC Real Property Transfer Tax (1% or 1.425% above $500,000) and the 0.4% state tax; Tony builds them into his net offer. Pre-1960 buildings with a child under six in a rental unit fall under NYC's Local Law 1 lead-paint rules, which a bank buyer's lender would flag — Tony pays cash, so nothing has to be abated before closing. If the deed is still in a deceased parent's name, the title company needs letters from Surrogate's Court, and Tony will sign the contract while you wait for them.
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.

Contact
Drop your number and Tony reaches out about your Bedford-Stuyvesant 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 Bedford-Stuyvesant-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.
Yes — ZIP codes 11216, 11221, and 11233, from Classon Avenue to Broadway and from Flushing Avenue down to Atlantic. Landmarked brownstones in Stuyvesant Heights, frame houses in Ocean Hill, three-families near Tompkins Avenue, and everything in between. Landmark status doesn't change his offer; it just means his contractor pulls Landmarks permits for the facade later.
Talk to a lawyer first, and Tony will say the same on the phone. If a forged deed was recorded, it has to be cleared through the courts or the DA before anyone can buy. Once title is clean, Tony buys — through a title company that verifies every signature and pays you by wire at closing. He never buys off a document signed at your kitchen table.
Tony can sign a contract with the executor or administrator as soon as Kings County Surrogate's Court issues letters, and he'll wait for the estate to clear title with no deadline pressure. If letters haven't been issued yet, his attorney can point you to what the court needs. The offer stays the same whether the process takes six weeks or six months.
Yes. Open HPD violations, DOB violations, ECB (OATH) penalties, and stop-work orders all transfer with the building and become Tony's problem after closing. Outstanding penalties that are actual liens get paid from the proceeds at the table. You don't need to hire an expediter or a contractor to sell.
Don't fix a thing. Call Tony at 1-908-768-4759. Cash for your Bedford-Stuyvesant house exactly as it sits.
