Selling a parent's house is hard. The belongings, the memories, the siblings who all want different things. There's no rush to sort through their things. You don't have to do that to move forward. Take what's sentimental, leave the rest, walk.
Inheriting a New Rochelle, New York house is rarely a windfall. It's belongings to sort, siblings to align, taxes piling up, and a property in Westchester County that's two states away from where you live. Tony buys inherited houses cash, as-is, full of stuff, with the family figuring out the split later.
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.

When multiple heirs are involved on a New Rochelle house, Tony makes one offer, sends the funds to the title company, and the title company splits proceeds per the estate documents or the heirs' agreement. No heir has to drive to the closing — most sign remotely. Even heirs who haven't spoken in years can close without seeing each other.
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.

Contact
Drop your number and Tony reaches out about your New Rochelle property within an hour.
In most cases, yes. The executor or administrator (with court authority) can sign. Tony's title company handles the documentation. Many New Rochelle inherited deals close before probate fully concludes.
Tony makes one offer; the title company splits proceeds per the estate documents or your written agreement. Heirs can be in different states, different countries — sign remotely with a notary or e-sign service. Westchester County title companies handle this routinely.
Yes. Take what's sentimental — photo albums, jewelry, anything that matters. Leave the rest. Tony's crew clears the property after closing. You don't have to spend weekends sorting through a lifetime of stuff.
Tony's title company pays them at closing out of the proceeds. Same with utility bills, HOA dues, lien notices. You walk away clean.
If the estate is straightforward, often no. If it's contested, complex, or has out-of-state assets, an attorney is wise. Tony works alongside whatever attorney you have or refers you to New Rochelle-area probate attorneys when needed.
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.
Stop sorting the basement. Stop arguing with siblings. Call Tony at 1-908-768-4759 and sell the New Rochelle house.
