How much commission do I save by selling my Crown Heights house to Tony directly?
5-6% of sale price. On a $300K Crown Heights house, that's $15,000-$18,000. On a $500K, $25,000-$30,000. You keep all of it.
Skip the agent. Skip the commission. Tony buys Crown Heights, New York houses directly from owners — no MLS, no listing, no 6% off the top. Whatever Tony quotes you, that's what you walk away with. Kings County sellers save $15,000-$50,000 by going direct.

The kind of row house property Tony has bought in Crown Heights.
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%.

Why do agents in Crown Heights push for a price reduction after 30 days on the market? Because their job is to close — yours or someone else's. Their commission is the same whether your house sells for $400K or $375K. Tony's offer is direct; there's no agent incentive working against you.
North of Eastern Parkway, Crown Heights is brownstone and limestone rows from the 1890s–1910s, much of it landmarked, with frame houses and small apartment buildings toward Atlantic Avenue. South of the parkway the stock turns to six-story pre-war elevator buildings on President and Union Streets, semi-detached brick 1920s–30s houses, and the large-family homes of the Lubavitch community around Kingston Avenue. NYCHA's Albany and Kingsborough Houses sit on the eastern edge.
The Crown Heights owners who call Tony are usually holding a house that is worth far more than the family ever imagined and can't figure out how to get it out of the estate. Three generations may be living in it, one apartment is rented to a longtime tenant paying a fraction of market rent, and the roof and boiler have been patched for twenty years. Some owners are dealing with a partition lawsuit from a sibling; others got a letter about the City's lien sale for unpaid water charges. Tony buys the building exactly as it stands, tenants included, and gives one number on the phone that doesn't change after an inspection.
Crown Heights sellers pay the NYC RPTT (1% up to $500,000, 1.425% above) and the 0.4% NYS transfer tax; Tony's offer is net of both. Buildings with six or more units built before 1974 are rent-stabilized and the tenants' status transfers unchanged — Tony doesn't need vacancies. Landmarked blocks in Crown Heights North carry Landmarks Preservation Commission rules for exterior work, which affect Tony's renovation later, not your sale now. Cash closing means no appraisal and no lender review of open violations.
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.

5-6% of sale price. On a $300K Crown Heights house, that's $15,000-$18,000. On a $500K, $25,000-$30,000. You keep all of it.
Tony is the buyer. There's no buyer to find — you're calling the buyer directly. No MLS, no Zillow listing, no showings.
MLS exposure is how agents find buyers. Tony doesn't need it because Tony already has cash and is already the buyer. The whole reason for MLS evaporates.
Sometimes a tiny bit less, sometimes more. The commission savings often more than offset any difference. And if your Crown Heights house needs work, has a complication, or just needs to sell fast — the agent route nets you less in the end.
No listing agreement. No exclusivity. No "right to sell." You call, Tony makes an offer, you decide. If you say no, you owe nothing — there's no contract until you sign one at closing.
Yes, both, plus Weeksville and the blocks along Eastern Parkway. That covers ZIPs 11213, 11225, and the Crown Heights parts of 11216 and 11238. Landmarked brownstones north of the parkway, pre-war walk-ups and semi-detached bricks south of it, and condos and co-ops in the newer buildings on Franklin Avenue. If it's in Crown Heights, Tony gives you a number.
No. Tony buys occupied buildings all the time and prices the offer on the real rent roll, not a fantasy vacant number. The tenant's lease and stabilization status transfer to him at closing. You don't buy anyone out and you don't serve any notices — he becomes the landlord the day you get your wire.
Yes, and a cash offer often ends the fight. If all the co-owners agree to sell to Tony, the partition case can be settled and the proceeds split by the attorneys at closing. If it goes to a court-ordered sale, Tony can bid there too. Either way, one call gets each heir a real number to weigh against years of litigation.
Both. He buys condo units in the newer buildings and co-op apartments in the pre-war elevator buildings along Eastern Parkway and in Crown Heights South. Co-ops require board approval of the buyer, so those take a few weeks longer than a house — Tony submits the package himself and you don't pay a broker to shepherd it.
No realtor. No commission. No fees. Just cash for your Crown Heights house. Call 1-908-768-4759.
