Can Tony close before my Bay Shore divorce decree deadline?
Almost always. Tony's standard close is 7-14 days. If the decree gives 30 or 60 days, that's plenty of room.
Court-ordered sale on a Suffolk County house? Tony closes in 7 to 14 days, the title company splits proceeds per the divorce decree, and you don't have to talk to your ex about the price. No agent, no showings, no negotiating with each other.
Divorce is hard enough without a house dragging it out. The agent showings on weekends. The arguments over price reductions. The buyer who backs out. Tony shortens the entire thing to one phone call and a 7-day close. You sell, the title company splits the money per the decree, you both walk.
Selling a Bay Shore, New York house in a divorce situation is rarely about price. It's about speed, certainty, and not having to coordinate one more thing with someone you're trying to disconnect from. Tony pays cash on a 7-day close, the title company splits proceeds per the decree, and neither party has to manage showings, negotiations, or buyer drama.

The kind of cape property Tony has bought in Bay Shore.
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.

How a Suffolk County divorce sale works with Tony. Both spouses (or the spouses' attorneys) approve the cash offer. The title company drafts the closing per the divorce decree (or per a settlement agreement). At closing, both spouses sign — usually remotely with separate notaries so they don't need to be in the same room. Proceeds are split as the decree dictates and wired separately. The house, and the disagreement about the house, are off the table.
Bay Shore has turn-of-the-century Victorians and colonials on the streets around Main Street and south toward the bay, 1920s–50s capes and colonials in the middle of the hamlet, waterfront houses south of Montauk Highway that flooded in Sandy, and 1960s–70s ranches and hi-ranches in North Bay Shore near the Sagtikos, where unpermitted apartments are common. Older two- and three-families cluster near downtown and the hospital.
Bay Shore sellers call Tony with a Victorian near Main Street that a parent held for fifty years and never updated, an estate in Riverhead, and heirs who don't agree; a bay-front cape south of Montauk Highway that Sandy flooded and NY Rising never finished raising; or a North Bay Shore hi-ranch with a basement apartment and a Town of Islip code case. Some are landlords done with a two-family near the hospital. Tony buys the Victorian with the belongings, the unraised bay house, and the hi-ranch occupied — one number on the phone, closing on the family's date.
Bay Shore sellers pay the 0.4% New York State transfer tax; Tony's offer is net of it. Town of Islip closings hinge on the certificate of occupancy and rental permits for every apartment and extension — a bank buyer makes you legalize them, and Tony buys "as-is C of O" for cash. Everything south of Montauk Highway is in a FEMA flood zone, which matters to a lender and not to Tony. Deeds record with the Suffolk County Clerk in Riverhead, and Suffolk Surrogate's Court there handles Bay Shore 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.

Almost always. Tony's standard close is 7-14 days. If the decree gives 30 or 60 days, that's plenty of room.
Tony's offer is fair-market cash. Many spouses use Tony's number as the neutral fact that resolves the dispute. If one spouse refuses to sign, that's a court issue, not Tony's.
Yes. The title company follows the decree's instructions exactly. Both spouses get separate wires per the agreed split.
No. NJ and NY remote notarization makes it routine to sign separately. Most Bay Shore divorce sellers don't see each other through the entire closing.
Tony buys it occupied if the spouses agree. Or the move-out can be timed to the closing date. Both work.
Yes. Bay-front and canal-side houses in Bay Shore that were flooded, patched, and never elevated are exactly what Tony buys. He needs no elevation certificate and no flood insurance because there's no lender. Tell him what was repaired, whether NY Rising was involved, and what's still open with the Town, and he gives you a number.
Yes — all of ZIP 11706, from the ranches and hi-ranches of North Bay Shore to the Victorians around Main Street, the two-families near South Shore University Hospital, and the waterfront south of Montauk Highway. One call with the address gets you a number.
No. Tony buys Bay Shore houses with unpermitted basement, garage, and second-floor apartments, occupied or empty, and takes on the Town's code-enforcement case after closing. A bank buyer's lender would refuse the file; Tony pays cash and prices it honestly. Don't remove the kitchen before you call.
Once the court in Riverhead issues letters, the executor or administrator can sign a contract with Tony, and a firm cash number often ends the disagreement — each heir sees exactly what they'll net. Heirs anywhere sign with a notary and get wired. Tony buys the house with everything still in it, so nobody has to spend weekends clearing it out.
