Live in California, Florida, or anywhere else, but own a property in Kings County? Tony makes a cash offer over the phone and closes the entire New York transaction remotely. You sign with a notary in your home state and never set foot in East Flatbush.
Owning a property thousands of miles away wears on you. Property taxes you can't easily pay. Code letters from a town you don't visit. Tenants or family members or strangers sending updates that don't add up. The flight back to fix one thing turns into three flights. Tony has closed dozens of remote sales for owners living out of state. You don't fly back. Tony handles everything from this end.
Distance is the silent killer of inherited and absentee properties in Kings County. The longer you own a property you can't easily check on, the worse it gets — taxes pile up, maintenance gets deferred, tenants test the limits. Tony stops the bleed with a cash close that doesn't require you to travel.
The kind of two family property Tony has bought in East Flatbush.
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%.

Kings County remote notarization is fully recognized as of 2022 (NJ) and 2022 (NY). Out-of-state sellers can sign closing documents with a notary in their home state, video-witnessed by a remote notary, and the deed records normally. Tony's title company has handled this for sellers in 20+ states.
East Flatbush is block after block of attached and semi-detached brick rowhouses from the 1920s and 30s, most built as two-families with a ground-floor apartment, plus detached frame one-families near Holy Cross Cemetery and a handful of six-story pre-war buildings on Linden Boulevard. It has one of the highest rates of Caribbean-American homeownership in the city, and many houses have stayed in one family since the 1970s — often with a finished basement rented out along the way.
East Flatbush sellers usually call Tony after a parent passes and the house has three or four owners, one of whom lives in it and can't afford to buy out the rest. The basement apartment that paid the mortgage for thirty years was never legal, and a DOB complaint or an HPD inspection has now made it a problem. Some owners are retiring back to Jamaica or Trinidad and want the house sold without flying in for open houses. Tony buys with the basement tenant in place, with the violations open, and with the belongings inside — one number on the phone, closing on your date, signing from anywhere.
East Flatbush sellers pay the NYC RPTT (1% up to $500,000, 1.425% above) and the 0.4% state transfer tax; Tony nets them out of his offer. Illegal basement or attic conversions show up at closing as DOB violations or a certificate-of-occupancy mismatch — a lender walks, but Tony pays cash and buys them routinely. Heirs abroad sign through a U.S. consulate or a notary in-country and Tony's title company handles the paperwork.
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.

Drop your number and Tony reaches out about your East Flatbush property within an hour.
Yes. Remote notarization is fully recognized in NJ and NY. You sign with a notary in your home state, the documents are video-witnessed by a remote notary, and the deed records normally.
Wire transfer to your home-state bank account on the closing date. Same day the deed records, the funds hit.
That's most of Tony's out-of-state purchases. Tony's offer is based on public records, recent East Flatbush comps, and your description. Whatever condition the property is in, the offer accounts for it.
Yes. POA documents are accepted at closing. Many out-of-state East Flatbush sellers have a family member or attorney sign as POA for convenience.
Tony's title company pays them at closing from the proceeds. Same with code violations, water/sewer arrears, or any other municipal liens.
Yes. Most East Flatbush two-families have a basement unit that was never on the certificate of occupancy, and Tony buys them with the tenant in place or empty. If there's an open DOB violation or vacate order, it transfers to him at closing. Don't spend money removing a kitchen before you call — it doesn't change his number.
Yes. Tony's title company sets up the deed and closing documents to be signed at a U.S. consulate or with a local notary and apostille, and your proceeds are wired to any bank. Plenty of East Flatbush owners have retired back to the Caribbean and sold to Tony without a single trip. He'll walk through what your country requires on the phone.
Yes, all of ZIP 11203 and the East Flatbush portions of 11210 and 11226: the attached bricks off Utica Avenue, the semi-detached houses around Kings County Hospital, the frames near Holy Cross Cemetery, and the pre-war buildings on Linden Boulevard. One call with the address gets you a number.
Yes, but the estate has to be opened in Kings County Surrogate's Court so someone has authority to sign. If the will named an executor, letters testamentary do it; without a will, an administrator is appointed. Tony signs the contract as soon as letters issue and waits for title without pressuring you — the offer doesn't expire.
