What's the fastest you can close on my East New York house?
5 days when title is clean and the seller is ready. Standard is 7 to 14 days. Tony has closed East New York deals over a long weekend when the situation demanded it.
Cash in your hand in a week. No listing, no agent, no inspection, no buyer's mortgage to wait on. Tony closes East New York houses in 7 to 14 days, sometimes 5.
Listing a East New York house with an agent takes 3-6 months on average. Then 30-60 more days to close once you find a buyer. Tony's whole process — from first phone call to cash — is usually 7 to 14 days for Kings County, New York sellers.

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%.

What slows Kings County closings down: title issues, missing heirs, undisclosed liens, second mortgages no one knew about. Tony's title company catches all of those early and works through them in parallel. Most East New York sellers don't even know there was a problem because Tony just keeps moving.
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.

Call now. Tony has stopped East New York-area auctions by closing days before the sale. The title company pays the lender directly at closing. Don't wait — every day matters here.
Easily. Most relocating sellers close 7-14 days out. Tony works around your moving truck, your job start date, and your kids' school calendar.

If you call Monday, you could have cash by the following Monday in many cases. Realistic average from first call to wire: 9-12 days for East New York properties.
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.
East New York, New York, 7 days, cash in hand. Call 1-908-768-4759. Tony will work to your timeline anywhere in Kings County.
