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.
When mom or dad passes, the house in Flushing becomes a problem. Maybe siblings can't agree. Maybe nobody wants to spend a year cleaning it out. Maybe Queens County property taxes are due and nobody's paying. Tony buys it now, in any state of affairs.
The kind of cape property Tony has bought in Flushing.
Queens County has detached single-families and two-families across south Queens (Jamaica, Hollis, St. Albans, Cambria Heights, Laurelton, Rosedale). Many are inherited from grandparents who immigrated in the 1950s-70s.
Queens NYC Class 1 rates apply; effective rates are 0.7-1.4% on actual market value due to assessment caps.

The biggest barrier to selling an inherited Queens County house isn't the legal process — it's the contents. Decades of furniture, photo albums, tax records, clothing, kitchen drawers, basements full of "we'll deal with it later." Tony buys the house with all of it inside. You take what's sentimental and walk. Tony handles the rest.
Flushing's housing runs from 1920s–30s detached frame houses and brick colonials in Murray Hill and Auburndale, Tudors in the deed-restricted Broadway–Flushing district, and post-1980s brick two- and three-family infill on subdivided lots, to six-story co-ops on Sanford Avenue and Kissena Boulevard and new condo towers downtown. Chinese and Korean families own much of it, often through multiple generations, and many houses carry an unpermitted extension or a converted garage from years of large households.
Flushing owners who call Tony are often adult children whose parents have moved back to China, Korea, or Taiwan — or passed away there — leaving a house on a Flushing side street with a tenant in the basement, an extension DOB never saw, and paperwork in two languages and two countries. Others own a co-op on Sanford Avenue whose board takes months to approve anyone, or a downtown condo with rising common charges. Tony buys the house as-is with the unpermitted work and the tenants, buys the co-op after board approval, and arranges signings through a consulate abroad — one number on the phone, closing on your date.
Flushing sellers pay the NYC RPTT (1% up to $500,000, 1.425% above) and the 0.4% NYS transfer tax; Tony's number is net of both, and on sales over $1 million the buyer-side mansion tax is Tony's cost. Overseas heirs sign at a U.S. consulate or before a local notary with an apostille, and Tony's title company handles the translation and recording. Houses in Broadway–Flushing carry old deed covenants on setbacks and use that affect renovation, not sale.
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 Flushing 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 Flushing 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. Queens 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 Flushing-area probate attorneys when needed.
Yes. Tony's title company prepares the deed and closing documents for signing at the American Institute in Taiwan or a U.S. consulate elsewhere, or before a local notary with an apostille, and wires proceeds to any bank. He's done this for Flushing families in China, Korea, and Taiwan. A power of attorney executed properly abroad can also let a child in Queens sign for them.
Yes — ZIPs 11354, 11355, and 11358. Frames and colonials on the side streets off Northern Boulevard, Tudors in Broadway–Flushing, brick multi-families near Kissena Park, co-ops on Sanford Avenue, and condos on Main Street and Roosevelt Avenue. One call with the address gets you a number.
Yes. Unpermitted extensions, converted garages, and basement units are extremely common in Flushing, and Tony buys them as they are. If there's an open DOB violation or a certificate-of-occupancy mismatch, it transfers to him at closing. A bank buyer's lender would refuse the file; Tony pays cash and doesn't care.
Both. He buys condo units downtown and co-op apartments in the six-story buildings along Sanford Avenue, Kissena Boulevard, and Union Street. Co-ops need board approval, which adds several weeks, and some buildings restrict investor buyers — Tony will tell you on the phone whether your building is one he can buy in.
