Live in California, Florida, or anywhere else, but own a property in Queens 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 Flushing.
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.
Tony's standard out-of-state closing process for Queens County properties: cash offer call (you stay where you are), title work and contract signing via remote notary in your home state, wire-transfer of proceeds to your home-state bank account. Total time: 7-14 days from first call.
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.

Carrying costs on a remote Queens County property add up quickly: property taxes ($4K-$15K/year typical), vacant-home insurance (50-100% premium over occupied), occasional emergency maintenance, and the time/cost of the trips back you have to make. A remote close to Tony stops the meter the day the deed transfers.
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.

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 Flushing 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 Flushing 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.
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.
