Will Tony really buy a Staten Island house with everything inside?
Yes. Tony has bought houses where the front door wouldn't open and pathways through were under 18 inches wide. Contents stay; Tony's crew clears them after closing.

How Sell a House Full of Stuff Works in Staten Island
Cleaning out a Staten Island cluttered house takes 2-6 weeks of dumpsters, trips to the dump, and emotional labor. Cost: $15K-$50K depending on volume. Health risk: real (mold, vermin, structural concerns under the piles). Tony skips all of it. The contents are part of the deal — nothing gets thrown away by you.
Staten Island Neighborhoods Tony Buys In
Staten Island detached and semi-detached homes from the 70s and 80s are core Tony deals. Sandy-rebuild houses and inherited family properties especially. The North Shore is Victorian frames and older two-families; mid-island is 1960s–80s semi-attached and attached townhouses and hi-ranches; the South Shore is 1980s–2000s colonials and split-levels; and the East Shore — Midland Beach, New Dorp Beach, Oakwood Beach — is bungalows and capes that took the brunt of Sandy, some of them since raised and some acquired under the state buyout program.

Selling a House in Staten Island: What Tony Already Knows
Staten Island sellers who call Tony are often the children of a couple who moved from Brooklyn in 1975, bought a semi-attached in New Springville or a cape in Midland Beach, and stayed until the end. The house has original everything, a basement apartment that was never legal, and a Sandy repair that was done halfway. Others are landlords tired of a North Shore two-family in Stapleton or Port Richmond with a non-paying tenant, or heirs in New Jersey who don't want to drive over the bridge for open houses. Tony buys as-is — flood zone, violations, belongings, tenants — and gives one number on the phone that closes on your date.

What a Staten Island closing actually involves
Staten Island sellers pay the NYC RPTT (1% up to $500,000, 1.425% above) and the 0.4% NYS transfer tax; Tony nets both, and the buyer-side mansion tax on sales over $1 million is his cost. East Shore and South Beach properties sit in FEMA flood zones and some carry post-Sandy elevation covenants or Build It Back liens that the title company clears at closing. Newer South Shore developments have HOAs whose estoppel letters Tony's attorney orders. Richmond County Surrogate's Court on Richmond Terrace issues the letters an estate needs.
How a Cash Offer on a Staten Island House Is Actually Built
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.

Questions From Staten Island Sellers
Do I have to throw anything away before selling the Staten Island house to Tony?
No. Take what's sentimental if you want. Leave everything else. Tony's professional cleanout team handles the rest after the deed transfers.
What about smell, mold, or animal damage in the Staten Island property?
Common in these properties. Tony has bought houses with serious mold, dead animals, and decades of accumulated pet damage. None of it kills the deal — it's priced into the offer.
Can Tony buy if the Staten Island house has been cited for code violations?
Yes. Tony takes on open code cases as part of the property after closing. Many Staten Island-area sellers in this situation were getting close to a condemnation order before Tony stepped in.
What about the original owner's belongings — can family members come back later for things?
Once the deed transfers, the property and contents are Tony's. If you need time to sort and remove items first, build that into the closing date. Most Staten Island sellers prefer to walk away clean.
Does Tony buy on the North Shore, mid-island, and South Shore of Staten Island?
Yes, all of it — ZIPs 10301 through 10314. Victorians and two-families in St. George, Stapleton, Port Richmond, and Mariners Harbor; townhouses and hi-ranches in New Springville, Bulls Head, and New Dorp; colonials in Great Kills, Annadale, and Tottenville; and bungalows on the East Shore. One call with the address gets you a number.
My Staten Island house in Midland Beach was flooded in Sandy and only partly repaired. Will Tony buy it?
Yes. Half-finished Sandy repairs, houses raised but never finished, mold behind new drywall, and open Build It Back files are common on the East Shore, and Tony buys them as they are. He doesn't need an elevation certificate or flood insurance because there's no lender. Tell him what was done and he'll give you a number.
Will Tony buy a Staten Island townhouse with an HOA and a tenant in the basement apartment?
Yes. HOA dues and rules transfer with the unit, and Tony's attorney orders the estoppel letter; the basement tenant stays or goes on your terms, and any DOB violation for the conversion transfers to Tony. Neither one changes whether he'll buy — they just get built into the number.
Our parents' Staten Island house is in probate and the heirs live in New Jersey and Florida. How does Tony close?
Once Richmond County Surrogate's Court issues letters to the executor or administrator, Tony signs a contract and closes as soon as title is clear. Heirs sign consents and closing documents with a notary wherever they live, and each share is wired. Nobody has to come over the bridge — Tony buys the house with everything still in it.
