Selling a parent's house is hard. The belongings, the memories, the siblings who all want different things. There's no rush to sort through their things. You don't have to do that to move forward. Take what's sentimental, leave the rest, walk.
Tony has bought inherited Syracuse houses where the parents passed three months ago, three years ago, and twenty years ago. Onondaga County estate procedures are routine; Tony has worked with attorneys on dozens of these.
The kind of two family property Tony has bought in Syracuse.
Onondaga County (Syracuse) housing stretches from older Eastwood and Westcott colonials to suburban Cicero and Clay. Snowbelt-related water and roof damage is common.
Onondaga tax rates average 2.5-3.0%.

Onondaga County probate timelines vary by county and complexity. Simple estates can move in 4-6 months; contested ones take a year or more. Tony works at any stage: pre-probate (with an executor), in probate (with court approval), or post-probate (clean title). Most Syracuse inherited deals close while the estate is still open.
Syracuse has affordable older homes across every neighborhood. Tony buys ones that need work, ones full of stuff, ones with tenants still in them. The stock is 1890–1930 frame houses — two-story singles and up-and-down two-family flats — plus American Foursquares on the Northside and Southside, 1920s bungalows and colonials in Eastwood, Tudors in Strathmore and Sedgwick, and student rentals around the University in Westcott. The Near Westside and Southside have high vacancy and many parcels held by the Greater Syracuse Land Bank.
Syracuse sellers call Tony with an Eastwood colonial a parent held for fifty years, an estate in Onondaga County Surrogate's Court, and heirs in Florida and Texas who don't want a winter of showings. Others own a Northside or Southside two-family with a tenant who stopped paying, a City codes violation, and back taxes that the City will eventually hand to the Land Bank. Some are landlords near the University tired of turnover, or owners who bought during the Micron excitement and can't finish the renovation. Tony buys the colonial with the belongings, the two-family occupied, and the half-finished flip as it sits — one number on the phone, closing on your date.
Syracuse sellers pay the 0.4% New York State transfer tax; Tony's offer is net of it. Onondaga County closings run on an updated abstract of title, deeds record with the Onondaga County Clerk downtown, and estates go through Onondaga County Surrogate's Court. The City of Syracuse forecloses on delinquent taxes and typically transfers those properties to the Greater Syracuse Land Bank rather than auctioning them, so a cash closing that pays the arrears is often the last chance to keep any equity. City rental registry and codes violations transfer to Tony at closing.
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 Syracuse property within an hour.
In most cases, yes. The executor or administrator (with court authority) can sign. Tony's title company handles the documentation. Many Syracuse inherited deals close before probate fully concludes.
Tony makes one offer; the title company splits proceeds per the estate documents or your written agreement. Heirs can be in different states, different countries — sign remotely with a notary or e-sign service. Onondaga County title companies handle this routinely.
Yes. Take what's sentimental — photo albums, jewelry, anything that matters. Leave the rest. Tony's crew clears the property after closing. You don't have to spend weekends sorting through a lifetime of stuff.
Tony's title company pays them at closing out of the proceeds. Same with utility bills, HOA dues, lien notices. You walk away clean.
If the estate is straightforward, often no. If it's contested, complex, or has out-of-state assets, an attorney is wise. Tony works alongside whatever attorney you have or refers you to Syracuse-area probate attorneys when needed.
All of Syracuse — ZIPs 13202 through 13224. Colonials and bungalows in Eastwood, Tudors in Strathmore and Sedgwick, flats and foursquares on the Northside and Southside, student rentals in Westcott, houses in Tipperary Hill and the Valley, and vacant or occupied houses on the Near Westside. One call with the address gets you a number.
Yes, if you call before the City completes foreclosure. Tony's title company orders the city and county tax payoffs, the arrears are paid from the proceeds at closing, and his cash closing in about a week keeps the house from going to the Land Bank with your equity gone. Once title has transferred, it's too late — so call when the notice arrives.
Yes, with the tenant in place and the violation open. Syracuse codes cases, rental-registry issues, and the eviction in Syracuse City Court all transfer to Tony at closing. You don't need to make repairs or finish the eviction. Tell him the units, the rents, and what codes cited, and he gives you one number.
Yes. Open permits, a gutted kitchen, and a contractor's lien are all things Tony has bought through. Liens are paid from the proceeds at closing and open permits become his to close out with the City. He prices the house on what's left to do, not on what you spent, and closes on your schedule.
Stop sorting the basement. Stop arguing with siblings. Call Tony at 1-908-768-4759 and sell the Syracuse house.
