Can Tony close before my Canarsie divorce decree deadline?
Almost always. Tony's standard close is 7-14 days. If the decree gives 30 or 60 days, that's plenty of room.

Kings County Market Context
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%.

How Divorce House Sale Works in Canarsie
If the Canarsie divorce is contentious and the spouses can't agree on a price, Tony's offer is often acceptable to a judge as a fair-market cash exit, especially when listing has been tried unsuccessfully. Tony's title company has worked with NJ and NY family-law attorneys on dozens of these.
Sections of Canarsie Tony Buys In
Canarsie is almost entirely attached and semi-detached brick houses from the 1920s through the 1950s — one- and two-families on 20- to 25-foot lots with a driveway and a finished basement — plus detached capes and ranches near the water and a few six-story co-ops along Seaview Avenue. Homeownership is high and heavily Caribbean-American, and many houses have been in one family since the 1970s. Blocks south of Flatlands Avenue toward the Belt Parkway took serious flooding in Sandy.

Selling a House in Canarsie: What Tony Already Knows
Canarsie sellers who reach Tony are often heirs to a semi-detached brick that Mom and Dad bought in 1975, still in their names, with a basement apartment that was never legal and a Build It Back file from Sandy that never quite closed. Some owners are retiring to Florida or back to the islands and don't want to manage a rental from 1,500 miles away. Others are behind on property taxes after a job loss and got a lien-sale notice from the City. Tony buys the house occupied or empty, with the belongings, with the flood history, and with the taxes owed — one number on the phone, closing when you choose.

What a Canarsie closing actually involves
Canarsie sellers pay the NYC RPTT (1% up to $500,000, 1.425% above) and the 0.4% state transfer tax; Tony nets those out in his offer. Much of Canarsie south of Flatlands Avenue is in a FEMA flood zone, which means a mortgage buyer must carry flood insurance and a lender may demand an elevation certificate — Tony pays cash and needs neither. Basement apartments show up as certificate-of-occupancy mismatches; they don't slow a cash closing.
How a Cash Offer on a Canarsie House Is Actually Built
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.

Questions From Canarsie Sellers
What if my spouse and I disagree on the price for the Canarsie house?
Tony's offer is fair-market cash. Many spouses use Tony's number as the neutral fact that resolves the dispute. If one spouse refuses to sign, that's a court issue, not Tony's.
Can the title company split proceeds per our Canarsie divorce decree?
Yes. The title company follows the decree's instructions exactly. Both spouses get separate wires per the agreed split.
Do my spouse and I have to be in the same room to close?
No. NJ and NY remote notarization makes it routine to sign separately. Most Canarsie divorce sellers don't see each other through the entire closing.
What if one spouse is still living in the Canarsie house?
Tony buys it occupied if the spouses agree. Or the move-out can be timed to the closing date. Both work.
My Canarsie house flooded in Sandy and was never fully repaired. Will Tony buy it?
Yes. Tony buys Canarsie houses with Sandy damage that was patched but never finished, with an open Build It Back or SBA history, and with mold in the basement. He prices the repairs honestly and doesn't require an elevation certificate or flood insurance because there's no bank. Tell him what was done and what wasn't, and he'll give you a number.
Does Tony buy in all of Canarsie, including the blocks by the Belt Parkway and Paerdegat Basin?
Yes, all of ZIP 11236 — the attached bricks off Rockaway Parkway and Avenue L, the semi-detached houses around Canarsie Park, the waterfront blocks near Seaview Avenue and the Pier, and the co-ops by the basin. Flood zone or not, one call with the address gets you a number.
I got a NYC lien-sale notice on my Canarsie house for back taxes and water. What should I do?
You can sell before the lien is sold, or after — either way the arrears get paid off from the proceeds at closing. If the lien has already gone to the City's lien trust, the title company gets a payoff that includes the interest and fees, and Tony's offer accounts for it. Selling to Tony stops the clock without you having to come up with the cash first.
We're heirs living in Florida and Trinidad. Can Tony buy our parents' Canarsie house without us coming to Brooklyn?
Yes. Once Kings County Surrogate's Court issues letters to an executor or administrator, Tony's title company arranges signings by mail, at a notary in Florida, or at a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad, and wires each heir's share. Nobody has to fly to Brooklyn to clean out the house — Tony buys it with everything in it.
