Live in California, Florida, or anywhere else, but own a property in Suffolk 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 Babylon.
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 Suffolk 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 shore bungalow property Tony has bought in Babylon.
Suffolk County is eastern Long Island: Babylon, Brookhaven, Smithtown, Islip, plus the Hamptons and North Fork. Beach houses and inherited family homes are core to Tony's Suffolk volume.
Suffolk tax rates are 2.0-2.5% on the South Shore and lower on the East End.

Common situations Tony handles for out-of-state owners with Babylon properties: an inherited family home thousands of miles from where the heir now lives, a former primary residence after a job relocation, a rental property the owner has been managing remotely for years and is done with, a divorce sale where one spouse already moved out of state, and an investment property the owner has never lived in.
Babylon Town spans the entire south shore of western Suffolk. Tony buys ranches, capes, and split-levels across every hamlet. Most of the stock is 1950s–60s capes, ranches, hi-ranches, and splits on 60-by-100 and 75-by-100 lots; south of Montauk Highway in Lindenhurst, Copiague, and Babylon Village the canal-front houses flooded in Sandy; Amityville and Babylon Village have 1900s–1920s Victorians and colonials; and Wyandanch has some of the oldest and most distressed housing in the Town.
Babylon Town sellers call Tony with a parent's West Babylon cape that has an accessory apartment without a Town rental permit, a Lindenhurst canal house that Sandy flooded and NY Rising never quite finished, or a Wyandanch house that's been vacant since a foreclosure stalled. Suffolk's taxes push out seniors on fixed incomes, and the county — which takes tax deeds rather than selling liens — can end up owning a house after a few missed years. Tony buys the cape with the illegal apartment, the unraised canal house, and the vacant Wyandanch property, and gives one number on the phone that closes on your date.
Babylon sellers pay the 0.4% New York State transfer tax; Tony's offer is net of it. Town of Babylon closings turn on the certificate of occupancy and the Town's rental and accessory-apartment permits — a bank buyer will demand every extension, deck, and basement be legalized, and Tony buys "as-is C of O" for cash. Sandy-era NY Rising grants sometimes leave a lien or covenant to clear. Deeds record with the Suffolk County Clerk in Riverhead, where Suffolk Surrogate's Court also handles Babylon estates.
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 Babylon property within an hour.
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 Babylon 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 Babylon 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 — West Babylon, North Babylon, Babylon Village, Lindenhurst, Copiague, Amityville, Deer Park, and Wyandanch, plus the smaller sections in between. Capes, ranches, hi-ranches, splits, older colonials, canal houses, and two-families with accessory apartments. One call with the address gets you a number.
Yes, with the tenant in place or empty. Unpermitted accessory apartments and finished basements are the most common issue Tony sees in Babylon Town, and he buys them as they are. The Town's code-enforcement case, if there is one, becomes his after closing. You don't need to remove the kitchen or evict anyone.
Yes. Tony buys south-of-Montauk-Highway houses in Lindenhurst, Copiague, and Babylon Village that were flooded, patched, and never elevated. No elevation certificate and no flood insurance are required because there's no lender. Tell him what was repaired, whether NY Rising was involved, and what's open with the Town, and he gives you a number.
Suffolk doesn't sell liens the way Nassau does — the county takes a tax deed after the redemption period, so waiting can mean losing the house outright. Tony's title company orders the payoff, the arrears are paid from the proceeds at closing, and his cash closing in about a week keeps you ahead of the county. Call before the redemption deadline, not after.
