Will Tony really buy a totally burned-out New Rochelle house?
Yes. Total losses, partial losses, smoke damage only — all of it. Tony's offer reflects the condition; the deal still happens.
Whether the insurance check came in or not, Tony buys fire-damaged New York houses for cash. Burned-out kitchens, smoke damage throughout, structural compromise, condemned by the Westchester County inspector — none of it kills the deal.
A house fire is one of the worst things a family can go through. Insurance fights, displaced living arrangements, a property nobody wants to walk through, and a clock running on rebuild costs you can't afford. Tony has bought dozens of fire-damaged houses across NJ and NY. You don't have to fix anything. You don't have to fight the insurance company first. Tony buys the property exactly as the fire left it.
Insurance won't cover all the rebuild on your New Rochelle, Westchester County fire-damaged property? Tony buys the property as-is and you keep whatever insurance pays out. No need to fight for full replacement cost or argue over depreciation.

The kind of two family property Tony has bought in New Rochelle.
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.

If the Westchester County building department has condemned the property after the fire, Tony still buys. The condemnation transfers with the deed. Tony's team handles the demo permits, the haul-out, the rebuild paperwork — all post-closing.
New Rochelle's housing climbs from the West End's frame two- and three-families and small walk-ups near the Mount Vernon line, through pre-war co-ops and rentals downtown and along North Avenue, to 1920s Tudors and colonials in Rochelle Park–Rochelle Heights and Beechmont, and 1950s splits and ranches in the North End around Wykagyl and Quaker Ridge. Davenport Neck and the Sound shore have waterfront houses and co-ops. Downtown has added high-rise rentals since the 2015 rezoning.
New Rochelle sellers who call Tony are often the last generation of a family in a Rochelle Heights colonial that hasn't been updated since the 1970s, with an estate to settle in White Plains and heirs spread across three states. Others own a West End two-family with a tenant in Housing Court and a city code order, or a pre-war co-op on North Avenue whose board takes months to approve anyone. A few are older owners near the Sound who don't want to manage a listing during a move to assisted living. Tony buys the colonial full of belongings, the two-family occupied, and the co-op after board approval — one number on the phone, closing when you choose.
New Rochelle sellers pay the 0.4% New York State transfer tax and, on residential sales of $1 million or more, the buyer pays the state mansion tax — Tony's cost, not yours. Closings use attorneys on both sides and record with the Westchester County Clerk in White Plains, where the Surrogate's Court also handles New Rochelle estates. Buildings of six or more units may fall under ETPA rent stabilization, and Davenport Neck and Sound-shore properties sit in FEMA flood zones that matter to a lender, not to a cash 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.

Yes — ZIPs 10801, 10804, and 10805, from the two- and three-families of the West End near Mount Vernon to the splits and ranches of Wykagyl and Quaker Ridge, the Tudors of Rochelle Heights, downtown co-ops and condos, and waterfront houses on Davenport Neck. One call with the address gets you a number.
Yes. He buys co-ops in the pre-war buildings along North Avenue and downtown and condos in the newer towers. Co-ops need board approval, which adds a few weeks, and some buildings limit investor buyers — Tony reads the house rules and tells you on the phone whether he can be the buyer. Condos have no board and close faster.
Once Westchester Surrogate's Court issues letters, Tony signs a contract with the executor or administrator. Siblings sign consents and closing papers with a notary where they live, and each share is wired at closing. Tony buys the house with the furniture and belongings still inside, so nobody has to fly in to empty it.
Yes, occupied. Tony takes over the Housing Court case and the city violation at closing; you don't need to finish either. He'll want the unit count, current rents, and what the city cited, and his number will reflect the situation as it actually is.
