Can Tony buy my Williamsburg house if foreclosure has already started?
Yes. Tony has stopped foreclosure sales 5 days before the auction date. The earlier you call, the more options exist — but Tony has closed deals at the eleventh hour too.
Most New York sellers in foreclosure don't know this: Tony's offer covers your full mortgage payoff at closing — and you often walk away with cash above what you owe. Tony has stopped Kings County-area foreclosures days before the sheriff's sale.
If you're embarrassed to be in this situation, you shouldn't be. Tony has worked with hundreds of Williamsburg-area homeowners facing foreclosure. You're not the first person to make this call, and you won't be the last. Tony doesn't judge, doesn't lecture, and doesn't waste your time.
Behind on the mortgage on a Williamsburg, New York house? Foreclosure letters from the bank? A sheriff's sale date scheduled? Tony has stopped Kings County foreclosures by closing days before the auction. Cash buys you out before the bank takes the house — and most sellers leave with money on top of the payoff.

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%.

Tony has closed Kings County foreclosure deals 5 days before the sheriff's sale. The sale gets canceled, the credit hit gets minimized, and you walk away with cash. Williamsburg sellers in this situation say the same thing: they wish they'd called sooner.
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 stopped foreclosure sales 5 days before the auction date. The earlier you call, the more options exist — but Tony has closed deals at the eleventh hour too.
In most cases, yes — if your Williamsburg house has any equity. Tony's offer pays off your mortgage and back taxes first, then the difference goes to you. On a typical NJ or NY property with 10-30% equity, that's $20,000-$80,000 in your pocket instead of vanishing into the foreclosure process.
Tony works with your lender on a short sale. Lenders often agree because Tony's deal is faster and more certain than waiting for sheriff's sale. You walk away with no continuing debt — much better than the foreclosure outcome.
The title company gets a payoff statement from your lender. At closing, Tony's wire goes to the title company; the title company sends your lender exactly what's owed and gives the rest to you. All same day.
Yes, significantly. A foreclosure stays on your credit for 7 years and triggers higher rates on future credit. Selling — even a short sale — has a much smaller credit impact and lets you start rebuilding immediately.
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.
Every day matters now. Call 1-908-768-4759. Tony stops Kings County foreclosures and pays you the difference.
