The kind of row house property Tony has bought in Williamsburg.
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 code-violation fines vary by town but commonly run $100-$500 per day after a citation period. Tony's title company pays accumulated fines at closing alongside any property tax delinquency. The town's hold on the property releases the day the deed transfers.
Williamsburg housing is a mix that most cash buyers don't know how to price: three-story wood-frame and brick row houses (often vinyl- or asphalt-sided) on the side streets off Grand, Metropolitan, and Graham; pre-war four- to six-unit walk-ups; converted industrial lofts near the waterfront and in East Williamsburg; large-family multi-families and newer mid-rises in the Hasidic Southside around Lee Avenue; and post-2005-rezoning glass condo towers along Kent Avenue. Tony buys every one of those — including tenant-occupied buildings, lofts with unresolved certificate-of-occupancy questions, and houses that haven't been touched since the family bought them in the 1960s.
The Williamsburg owners who call Tony are rarely selling a turnkey condo. They're settling an estate on a row house the family has held since the 60s or 70s, with four siblings who can't agree and a building full of belongings. They're landlords tired of managing a rent-stabilized walk-up with HPD and DOB violations piling up. They inherited a loft with a murky Loft Law or C-of-O history that no bank will lend on. Or they're simply done paying carrying costs on a vacant building while the block changes around them. In each case, a listing means months of open houses, an inspection report, and buyers who walk when they see the violations. Tony gives one number on the phone and closes on your date.
Williamsburg closings run through NYC-specific paperwork: the NYC Real Property Transfer Tax (1% up to $500,000, 1.425% above) and the New York State transfer tax (0.4%) are customarily paid by the seller, and Tony builds them into the net number he quotes so there are no surprises at the table. One- to three-family houses are taxed as NYC Class 1 properties; four-plus-unit buildings and condos fall under Class 2. Waterfront blocks near Kent Avenue and parts of the Southside sit in FEMA flood zones — Tony doesn't require flood-elevation certificates or a lender's approval, because there is no lender.
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 Williamsburg property within an hour.
Yes. Tony has bought condemned NJ and NY properties for years. The condemnation transfers with the deed; Tony's team handles the rebuild or demolition paperwork after closing.
Paid at closing from the proceeds. Once Tony owns the property, the fines stop accruing against you.
Yes. The citations are between the town and the property; selling to Tony doesn't require the town's approval. Tony accepts violations in writing as part of the purchase contract.
Tony's offer prices condition into the cash number. The more wrong with the property, the lower the offer — but the deal still happens.
In most cases, yes. Once the property is sold, the seller is no longer a party to the code case. The case continues against the new owner (Tony) and Tony resolves it.
Yes. Tony buys in all of ZIP codes 11211, 11249, and the Williamsburg side of 11206: row houses off Grand and Graham, walk-ups on the Southside around Lee Avenue and Broadway, lofts in East Williamsburg, and condos along Kent Avenue and the East River. If it's in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Tony will give you a number on the phone.
Yes, with the tenants in place. You don't need to buy anyone out, serve notices, or wait for a vacancy. Tony takes over as the landlord at closing, and the tenants' leases and stabilization status carry over exactly as they are. Just tell him the unit count and roughly what each unit pays.
Yes. Converted industrial buildings with interim-multiple-dwelling (Loft Law) history, missing C-of-Os, or open DOB and HPD violations are exactly the properties banks won't lend on — which is why they end up with cash buyers. Tony has bought them; the title company and attorneys sort out the paperwork, and the offer doesn't change because of it.
By custom in New York the seller pays the NYC Real Property Transfer Tax and the NYS transfer tax. Tony accounts for them when he quotes your number, so the figure he gives you on the phone is the one you should expect at closing — with no commission, no repair credits, and no closing costs taken out on top.
Tony's offer is below what a renovated, vacant, violation-free property would fetch after months on the market — that's true of every cash buyer. What it's competitive against is your real net: a listing minus 5–6% commission, minus the repairs the inspection turns up, minus the carrying costs while you wait, and minus the risk the buyer's bank walks. For a tenant-occupied walk-up, an estate with belongings still in it, or a loft with paperwork issues, sellers often find Tony's number lands close to what they'd actually walk away with — just in 7 days instead of 7 months.
