Live in California, Florida, or anywhere else, but own a property in Westchester 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 Mount Vernon.
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 Westchester 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 ranch property Tony has bought in Mount Vernon.
Westchester County is a wealthy suburb of NYC: Yonkers, Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, White Plains, Scarsdale, Bronxville. Older multi-family stock and inherited estates are common.
Westchester County has among the highest property taxes in the country, often 2.0-3.0% on high-value properties.

Common situations Tony handles for out-of-state owners with Mount Vernon 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.
Mount Vernon is two cities divided by the Metro-North tracks. The north side — Fleetwood, Chester Heights, Oakwood Heights — is six-story pre-war co-ops and rentals along Gramatan Avenue and 1920s–30s Tudors and colonials on the hills. The south side (10550) is older frame two- and three-families, brick rowhouses, and small walk-ups, with a large Black and Caribbean homeowner community and some of the oldest housing in Westchester. Many south-side houses have been in one family for fifty years.
Mount Vernon sellers call Tony with a south-side two-family inherited from a parent, a tenant who hasn't paid since the pandemic, and a city violation for a basement apartment. Others are dealing with Mount Vernon's well-known sewer and water-billing problems, a tax bill that has climbed every year, or a Fleetwood co-op they inherited and can't get through the board. Some are simply elderly owners ready to move near their kids in Georgia or the Carolinas without fixing anything first. Tony buys occupied, as-is, with the violations and the belongings, and gives one number on the phone that closes on your date.
Mount Vernon charges its own city transfer tax of 1%, paid by the seller on top of the 0.4% New York State transfer tax; Tony nets both into his offer. Closings use attorneys on both sides, record at the Westchester County Clerk in White Plains, and estates run through Westchester Surrogate's Court there. Mount Vernon buildings of six or more units may be under ETPA rent stabilization, which transfers with the property, and Fleetwood co-ops require board approval of the buyer.
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 Mount Vernon 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 Mount Vernon 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 Mount Vernon 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 — all three ZIPs, 10550, 10552, and 10553. Frame two- and three-families and brick rows south of the tracks, Tudors and colonials in Chester Heights and Oakwood Heights, and co-ops and pre-war apartments in Fleetwood. Condition and section don't decide whether he'll buy; they decide the number. One call with the address gets you that number.
The seller, by custom — Mount Vernon's 1% city tax plus the 0.4% state transfer tax. Tony builds both into the net number he quotes on the phone, so what you hear is what you should expect at the table, with no commission and no closing costs taken out on top.
Yes, with the basement tenant in place or empty. Mount Vernon Buildings Department violations, unpaid water and sewer bills, and a Housing Court case all transfer or get paid from the proceeds at closing. You don't have to remove the kitchen or finish the eviction. Tell Tony what was cited, and he'll give you one number.
As soon as Westchester Surrogate's Court issues letters to the executor or administrator, Tony signs a contract and closes once title is clear — often within a week or two. Heirs out of state sign with a local notary and their shares are wired. If letters haven't issued yet, Tony's attorney can tell you what the court still needs, and the offer waits.
