If your Brooklyn 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 two family property Tony has bought in Brooklyn.
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%.

Tony has bought Kings County houses with: cracked foundations, asbestos siding, knob-and-tube wiring, lead paint everywhere, mold in three rooms, raccoons in the attic, basements that flood every spring, additions built without permits. None of these stop the deal in Brooklyn.
Brooklyn brownstones and multi-families — especially in Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, and Flatbush — are core Tony purchases. Inherited from grandparents, full of decades of belongings, occupied or vacant: Tony buys. Beyond the brownstone belt the stock shifts to attached 1920s-30s brick rowhouses in Canarsie and Flatlands, frame two- and three-families in East New York and Bushwick, six-story pre-war walk-ups along Ocean Avenue and Eastern Parkway, and limestone rows in Bay Ridge.
Most Brooklyn calls to Tony start with a death certificate. A parent or grandparent bought the house in the 1960s or 70s, four or five heirs now own it together, and the one who still lives there can't buy the others out. Add a rent-paying tenant on the parlor floor, a stack of HPD and DOB violations, and an unpaid water bill heading toward the City's lien sale, and a broker listing turns into a year-long project. Tony deals with all of it as-is: the tenants stay, the violations transfer, and the belongings can stay in the house. He gives one number on the phone and closes on the date the family picks.
Every Brooklyn closing uses attorneys on both sides, and the seller customarily pays the NYC Real Property Transfer Tax (1% up to $500,000, 1.425% above) plus the 0.4% New York State transfer tax; Tony nets those into his offer. Estates go through Kings County Surrogate's Court, which can take months to issue letters — Tony can sign a contract with the executor while that runs. Because Tony pays cash there is no appraisal, no bank underwriting, and no lender demanding that violations be cleared before closing.
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 Brooklyn 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 Brooklyn-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 — from Greenpoint to Coney Island. The bulk of his Brooklyn work is in Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, Flatbush, East Flatbush, Bushwick, East New York, Brownsville, and Canarsie, but he buys in Bay Ridge, Sunset Park, Sheepshead Bay, and every other section too. Brownstone, frame two-family, attached brick row, co-op, or condo: call with the address and he'll give you a number.
Yes. Back taxes and DEP water charges are paid off out of the sale proceeds at the closing table, and if a lien has already been sold to the City's lien trust the title company gets a payoff and clears it. You don't need to catch up first. Tony's offer accounts for the payoff so the number you hear is your real net.
Every owner on the deed (or the estate's executor or administrator) has to sign, but you don't have to be in the same room or even the same state. Tony's title company handles remote and out-of-state signings routinely. If one heir wants to stay, Tony has structured deals where that person keeps an apartment as a tenant after closing.
Yes, occupied. Tony takes over the leases at closing — rent-stabilized, month-to-month, or a family member paying nothing. No buyout, no eviction, no vacancy required. He'll ask the unit count and current rents so his offer reflects what's actually there.
Don't fix a thing. Call Tony at 1-908-768-4759. Cash for your Brooklyn house exactly as it sits.
