If your Queens house has a roof that leaks, a furnace that doesn't work, walls with holes, floors that rot, or a kitchen that hasn't been touched since 1972 — Tony still buys. As-is, anywhere in Queens County, New York.
The kind of two family property Tony has bought in Queens.
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.

Tony has bought Queens County houses with: cracked foundations, asbestos siding, knob-and-tube wiring, lead paint everywhere, mold in three rooms, raccoons in the attic, basements that flood every spring, additions built without permits. None of these stop the deal in Queens.
Queens has detached one-families and two-families across south Queens neighborhoods like Jamaica, Hollis, and St. Albans. Tony buys inherited, distressed, and tenant-occupied properties. Southeast Queens is 1920s–50s detached frames, brick colonials, and Tudors on 40-by-100 lots; western Queens is attached brick two- and three-families and six-story pre-war buildings; the Rockaways mix bungalows, NYCHA, and post-Sandy rebuilds; and co-ops and condos are everywhere from Forest Hills to Flushing.
Queens sellers who call Tony are mostly heirs to a detached house in Jamaica, St. Albans, Hollis, or Laurelton that the family bought in the 1960s or 70s. The deed is in a parent's name, the estate is sitting in Queens County Surrogate's Court on Sutphin Boulevard, and the basement apartment that paid the bills was never legal. Southeast Queens had some of the highest foreclosure rates in the city after 2008, and many of those houses are still being untangled today — reverse mortgages, HUD liens, and second mortgages the heirs didn't know about. Tony buys them as-is, with the tenants, the liens, and the belongings, and gives one number on the phone.
Queens sellers pay the NYC RPTT (1% up to $500,000, 1.425% above) plus the 0.4% NYS transfer tax; Tony's offer is net of both. Queens County Surrogate's Court handles estates for the whole borough, and a reverse mortgage on a deceased parent's house must be paid off at closing before heirs see anything — Tony's title company gets the payoff and his cash closes before the servicer forecloses. Rockaway and Howard Beach properties are in FEMA flood zones, which only matters to a 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.

Contact
Drop your number and Tony reaches out about your Queens property within an hour.
Correct. The number Tony quotes you on the phone is the number you walk away with. No inspection, no repair list, no credit deductions, no "after we got a closer look" surprises. As-is means as-is.
Tony buys it. Cracked foundations, settled walls, fire-damaged kitchens, flooded basements, mold throughout — all of it has been bought before. The offer reflects condition; the deal still happens.
Yes. Furniture, clothing, garbage, food in the fridge, the broken washer in the basement, the car in the driveway. Tony hauls it after closing. You don't lift a finger.
Knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized pipes, fuse boxes, ungrounded outlets — Tony has bought Queens-area houses with all of these. They're priced into the offer; they don't kill the deal.
Tony's offer reflects what it'll take to make the property re-sellable, plus a return. It's transparent. The cheaper your house is to fix, the better your offer. The worse the condition, the lower the offer — but the deal still happens.
All of Queens. Most of his volume is in Jamaica, South Jamaica, St. Albans, Hollis, Queens Village, Cambria Heights, Laurelton, Springfield Gardens, and Rosedale, but he also buys in Astoria, Flushing, Jackson Heights, Corona, Ridgewood, Richmond Hill, Ozone Park, and the Rockaways. Detached, attached, two-family, co-op, or condo — one call gets you a number.
Yes, and quickly matters. After the borrower dies, the reverse-mortgage servicer generally gives heirs a limited window before it starts foreclosure. Tony's title company orders the payoff, and his cash closing clears it; whatever equity remains goes to the estate. If the loan balance is close to the value, he'll tell you honestly what's left.
No. Basement and attic conversions without a certificate of occupancy are the norm in Southeast Queens, and Tony buys them with the tenant in place or empty. Any DOB violation or vacate order transfers to him. You don't need to remove the kitchen or pay an expediter before selling.
As soon as Queens County Surrogate's Court issues letters testamentary or letters of administration, Tony can sign a contract and close in about a week. If letters haven't issued, he'll sign and wait — his offer doesn't have an expiration date tied to the court's schedule. His attorney can tell you what the court still needs.
