"As-is" with most buyers means "until the inspector finds something." With Tony in East New York, as-is means as-is — no inspection, no repair credits, no last-minute price drop. Same number on the phone, same number at the Kings County closing.
The kind of row house property Tony has bought in East New York.
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 East New York.
East New York is mostly two- and three-story frame houses and brick two-families on small lots, with Nehemiah rowhouses from the 1980s–90s in New Lots and Spring Creek, large NYCHA developments (Linden, Boulevard, Pink, and Cypress Hills Houses), and the Starrett City towers on the bay. Cypress Hills, on the ridge below Highland Park, has older frame and brick rows and some of the borough's last detached wood houses. The 2016 rezoning has brought new mid-rise construction along Atlantic Avenue and Pitkin.
East New York owners call Tony with situations a broker can't list: a frame two-family inherited from a parent, with a cousin living rent-free upstairs and a mortgage that was in default before the estate even opened; a house that sat vacant after a fire and now has a DOB vacate order and squatters; a Nehemiah rowhouse whose resale restrictions have expired but whose owner is behind on taxes. Deed theft has hit East New York hard, so Tony closes only through a title company with your own attorney reviewing everything. He gives one number on the phone and closes on your date.
East New York 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. A house in foreclosure can still be sold right up to the auction — the title company gets a payoff from the lender and Tony's cash closes before the sale date. Spring Creek and Starrett City sit in FEMA flood zones near Jamaica Bay, which doesn't matter to a cash buyer. Estates run through Kings County Surrogate's Court on Johnson Street.
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 East New York 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 East New York-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.
Usually not. If the auction hasn't happened, Tony can sign a contract within a day, his title company orders the lender's payoff, and a cash closing beats most auction dates. Whatever equity is left after the payoff goes to you instead of being wiped out at the courthouse. Call as soon as you have a date — the earlier, the more options.
Yes. Tony buys occupied-by-squatter houses and handles the legal process after closing; you don't have to get them out first. He'll want to know how long they've been there and whether any court filings exist, and his number will reflect the situation. It's still faster than trying to list a house nobody can show.
Yes — ZIPs 11207, 11208, and 11239 in full: frames off Fulton and Atlantic, brick rows in Cypress Hills, Nehemiah houses in New Lots and Spring Creek, and two-families along Linden Boulevard. Co-op apartments in Starrett City too, subject to that complex's rules. One call with the address gets you a number.
By doing the opposite of what a deed thief does. Tony never asks you to sign a deed at your house, never pays in cash or a personal check, and never records anything without a title company, your attorney, and a wire to your bank. If anyone has already approached you with a quick-sign deal, talk to a lawyer or the Brooklyn DA's office before signing anything — Tony will tell you the same.
