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.

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.

Selling a House in White Plains: What Tony Already Knows

White Plains sellers who call Tony are often heirs to a Gedney or Highlands colonial that a parent lived in for fifty years, with an estate now in Westchester Surrogate's Court two miles away, siblings who disagree, and a house full of furniture nobody wants. Others inherited a downtown co-op and are paying maintenance on an empty apartment while the board rejects buyers, or own a Battle Hill two-family with a tenant who stopped paying. Tony buys the colonial with everything in it, the co-op after board approval, and the two-family occupied — one number on the phone, closing on the family's date.

What a White Plains closing actually involves

White Plains sellers pay the 0.4% New York State transfer tax; on residential sales of $1 million or more the buyer pays the state mansion tax, which is Tony's cost. White Plains has no separate city transfer tax. Closings record at the Westchester County Clerk on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, and Westchester Surrogate's Court in the same complex issues the letters an estate needs. Co-ops require board approval, and buildings of six or more units may be under ETPA rent stabilization.

How a Cash Offer on a White Plains House Is Actually Built

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.

Example only — a $400,000-after-repair house that needs $45,000 of work. Your numbers will differ; Tony gives you his exact figure on the phone.

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.

Questions From White Plains Sellers

Will Tony really buy a totally burned-out White Plains house?

Yes. Total losses, partial losses, smoke damage only — all of it. Tony's offer reflects the condition; the deal still happens.

Do I have to settle the insurance claim before selling to Tony?

No. You can sell pre-settlement, post-settlement, or after a denial. Tony's offer is based on the property's current state, not on what insurance is paying out.

Can I keep the insurance proceeds and still sell to Tony?

Yes. Insurance pays you for the loss; Tony pays you for the property. Two separate transactions.

What if the town has condemned my White Plains house after the fire?

Tony buys condemned properties. The condemnation order transfers with the deed. Tony's team handles the rebuild or demolition paperwork after closing.

What about smoke damage that's not visible — does Tony care?

Tony assumes worst-case on smoke damage in any fire situation. The offer accounts for full remediation. You don't have to worry about hidden damage coming up later.

Does Tony buy houses in Gedney, the Highlands, and Battle Hill as well as downtown White Plains condos?

Yes — all of White Plains, ZIPs 10601 through 10607. Colonials and Tudors in Gedney, the Highlands, and Fisher Hill, capes and ranches in Battle Hill and Eastview, two-families near downtown, and co-ops and condos in the towers and garden complexes. One call with the address gets you a number.

Will Tony buy my White Plains co-op that the board keeps rejecting buyers for?

Yes. Tony submits a full board package with proof of funds and pays cash, which most boards prefer to a financed buyer. Approval still takes a few weeks, and some buildings limit investor purchases — he'll read the house rules and tell you honestly on the phone whether your building is one he can buy in.

Our parents' White Plains house is in Surrogate's Court right here in White Plains. How quickly can Tony close after letters issue?

Usually within one to two weeks of letters testamentary or letters of administration, as long as title is clear. Tony signs a contract with the executor or administrator, his title company runs title, and heirs anywhere sign with a notary and get wired. If the court is still processing the petition, the offer waits without expiring.

My White Plains two-family has a tenant behind on rent and a boiler that needs replacing. Does Tony still buy?

Yes, occupied and as-is. The Housing Court case and the boiler both become Tony's problem at closing. You don't have to finish the eviction or replace anything. Tell him the rents, what's owed, and what's broken, and he gives you one number that doesn't change after a walkthrough.
