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.
Tony has bought inherited Bushwick houses where the parents passed three months ago, three years ago, and twenty years ago. Kings County estate procedures are routine; Tony has worked with attorneys on dozens of these.
The kind of row house property Tony has bought in Bushwick.
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%.

The biggest barrier to selling an inherited Kings County house isn't the legal process — it's the contents. Decades of furniture, photo albums, tax records, clothing, kitchen drawers, basements full of "we'll deal with it later." Tony buys the house with all of it inside. You take what's sentimental and walk. Tony handles the rest.
Bushwick's housing is mostly three-story frame houses — two- and three-families under vinyl or asphalt siding — on 20- to 25-foot lots, mixed with brick rows, six-family walk-ups, and the two-family rowhouses built on cleared lots after the 1977 blackout fires. Along Bushwick Avenue there are surviving 19th-century brewers' mansions, and the industrial blocks near Morgan and Jefferson have been converted into lofts. NYCHA's Bushwick Houses and Hope Gardens anchor the north end.
Bushwick sellers who call Tony are often the Puerto Rican and Dominican families who bought these frame houses for very little in the 1970s and 80s and now own something worth more than they ever expected — but with an elderly parent's estate to settle, tenants paying old rents, and a DOB violation for a self-certified renovation. Others own a building with a Loft Law tenant or a commercial ground floor they can't lease. Tony buys the building occupied, with the violations, with the illegal cellar unit, and with the estate still working through Surrogate's Court — one number, no inspection contingency, closing when you say.
Bushwick sellers pay the NYC RPTT (1% up to $500,000, 1.425% above) and the 0.4% state transfer tax; Tony's number is net of both. Frame houses here almost always predate 1960, so a rented unit with a young child triggers Local Law 1 lead-paint rules — a lender's inspector cares, Tony doesn't. Converted industrial buildings may have Loft Law or certificate-of-occupancy questions that only a cash buyer will close on.
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 Bushwick 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 Bushwick 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. Kings 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 Bushwick-area probate attorneys when needed.
Yes. Aluminum siding over rotted clapboard, a sagging rear extension, a cellar apartment that was never legal, three tenants paying three different rents — that's a normal Bushwick purchase for Tony. He doesn't need it vacant, cleaned, or repaired. He gives one number on the phone and closes with the tenants still in it.
Yes. Stop-work orders, ECB penalties, and open DOB violations transfer with the property, and Tony deals with them after closing. Any penalty that has become an actual lien is paid from the proceeds at the table. You don't need to hire an expediter or finish the job first.
Yes — all of ZIP 11237, the Bushwick side of 11221, and the 11206 blocks near Flushing Avenue. Frame houses off Knickerbocker and Wyckoff, walk-ups on the Broadway corridor under the J/Z, and converted lofts near Morgan Avenue. If it's between Flushing Avenue and the cemetery, he'll give you a number.
Every owner has to sign, so nothing closes until your brother does — but a firm cash number from Tony often gets a silent co-owner to the table. If he still won't engage, a partition action in Kings County Supreme Court can force a sale, and Tony will buy at that sale or from the referee. Tony's attorney can explain the steps; the offer waits.
Stop sorting the basement. Stop arguing with siblings. Call Tony at 1-908-768-4759 and sell the Bushwick house.
