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.
When mom or dad passes, the house in White Plains becomes a problem. Maybe siblings can't agree. Maybe nobody wants to spend a year cleaning it out. Maybe Westchester County property taxes are due and nobody's paying. Tony buys it now, in any state of affairs.
The kind of ranch property Tony has bought in White Plains.
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.

The biggest barrier to selling an inherited Westchester County house isn't the legal process — it's the contents. Decades of furniture, photo albums, tax records, clothing, kitchen drawers, basements full of "we'll deal with it later." Tony buys the house with all of it inside. You take what's sentimental and walk. Tony handles the rest.
White Plains is high-rise condos and co-ops downtown, garden apartments and pre-war co-ops along the avenues, 1920s–30s colonials and Tudors in Gedney, the Highlands, and Fisher Hill, and 1940s–50s capes and ranches in Battle Hill and Eastview. Older two-families cluster near downtown and the Battle Hill side. As the county seat, White Plains is also where every Westchester estate, deed, and foreclosure is filed.
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.
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.
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 White Plains 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 White Plains 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 White Plains-area probate attorneys when needed.
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.
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.
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.
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.
