If your Flatbush house has a roof that leaks, a furnace that doesn't work, walls with holes, floors that rot, or a kitchen that hasn't been touched since 1972 — Tony still buys. As-is, anywhere in Kings County, New York.
The kind of row house property Tony has bought in 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%.

Real estate agents will tell you "list as-is" but every showing gets a complaint, every offer comes in below asking, and every inspection produces a list of demands. Tony doesn't tour, doesn't inspect, doesn't ask for credits. The New York closing happens in Kings County on schedule.
Flatbush is two housing markets on the same blocks. Victorian Flatbush — Ditmas Park, Prospect Park South, Beverley Square, Fiske Terrace — is free-standing turn-of-the-century frame houses with porches and driveways, many of them landmarked. Along Ocean Avenue, Flatbush Avenue, and Bedford Avenue it's six-story pre-war elevator and walk-up buildings, most rent-stabilized, plus attached brick rows and two-families toward Nostrand. A large Caribbean homeowner community has held many of these houses for forty years or more.
Flatbush sellers who call Tony are often adult children clearing out a parent's Victorian that hasn't had a real repair since the 1980s — knob-and-tube wiring, a slate roof, a basement that floods, and every room full. Others own a two-family where the upstairs tenant stopped paying during the pandemic and Housing Court still hasn't produced a result. Some are dealing with a pre-war co-op apartment the board keeps rejecting buyers for. Tony buys the house full of belongings, the two-family with the non-paying tenant, and the co-op after board approval — one number on the phone, closing on your schedule.
Flatbush sellers pay the NYC RPTT (1% or 1.425% over $500,000) and the 0.4% NYS transfer tax, which Tony deducts before quoting your net. Landmarked houses in the Prospect Park South, Ditmas Park, and Fiske Terrace historic districts sell exactly like any other house; LPC only regulates future exterior work. Pre-1960 houses with a rented unit carry Local Law 1 lead-paint obligations that a bank would raise at inspection — Tony pays cash and inspects nothing.
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 Flatbush 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 Flatbush-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.
Yes. The free-standing Victorians of Victorian Flatbush are among his favorite purchases because banks and retail buyers get scared by their size and age — old wiring, original plumbing, slate roofs, and forty years of deferred maintenance. Tony buys them as-is, with the furniture still inside, landmarked or not, and prices honestly for what a full restoration costs.
Yes, with the tenant in place. Tony doesn't require you to finish the Housing Court case or get the apartment empty — he takes over as landlord and the case along with it. Tell him the unit count, who's paying what, and where the case stands, and his number will reflect the situation.
Yes. Six-plus-unit pre-1974 buildings on Ocean, Flatbush, and Bedford Avenues are rent-stabilized, and Tony buys them on the actual rent roll with every tenant staying. He'll want the current registered rents and any open HPD violations, and then he gives one number. No vacancies needed and no buyouts.
Only someone with legal authority can sign — a valid power of attorney or a court-appointed guardian under Article 81. If you have that, Tony buys as-is on your timeline. If you don't, his attorney can point you to what a guardianship petition in Kings County requires, and the offer will be there when you're ready.
Save the repair money. Sell to Tony as-is. 1-908-768-4759. Flatbush cash buyer.
