Live in California, Florida, or anywhere else, but own a property in Onondaga County? Tony makes a cash offer over the phone and closes the entire New York transaction remotely. You sign with a notary in your home state and never set foot in Syracuse.
Owning a property thousands of miles away wears on you. Property taxes you can't easily pay. Code letters from a town you don't visit. Tenants or family members or strangers sending updates that don't add up. The flight back to fix one thing turns into three flights. Tony has closed dozens of remote sales for owners living out of state. You don't fly back. Tony handles everything from this end.
Distance is the silent killer of inherited and absentee properties in Onondaga County. The longer you own a property you can't easily check on, the worse it gets — taxes pile up, maintenance gets deferred, tenants test the limits. Tony stops the bleed with a cash close that doesn't require you to travel.
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 remote notarization is fully recognized as of 2022 (NJ) and 2022 (NY). Out-of-state sellers can sign closing documents with a notary in their home state, video-witnessed by a remote notary, and the deed records normally. Tony's title company has handled this for sellers in 20+ states.
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.

Yes. Remote notarization is fully recognized in NJ and NY. You sign with a notary in your home state, the documents are video-witnessed by a remote notary, and the deed records normally.
Wire transfer to your home-state bank account on the closing date. Same day the deed records, the funds hit.
That's most of Tony's out-of-state purchases. Tony's offer is based on public records, recent Syracuse comps, and your description. Whatever condition the property is in, the offer accounts for it.
Yes. POA documents are accepted at closing. Many out-of-state Syracuse sellers have a family member or attorney sign as POA for convenience.
Tony's title company pays them at closing from the proceeds. Same with code violations, water/sewer arrears, or any other municipal liens.
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.
