How long can a Yonkers property sit vacant before Tony won't buy it?
No limit. Tony has bought houses that hadn't been occupied in 20+ years. The longer it's been vacant, the worse the condition usually is — but Tony buys it anyway.
Sell a Vacant Property in Yonkers, NY
A vacant New York property bleeds money: property taxes, vacant-property insurance premiums, Westchester County lawn-citation fines, vandalism repairs, copper theft, frozen pipes, and the slow decay that gets worse every month. Tony pays cash and closes in 7 days. Stop the bleed.
Vacant houses don't just cost money — they invite trouble. Squatters, broken windows, frozen pipes that burst in February, fines from the Yonkers code office, neighbors complaining, copper thieves stripping the basement. The longer it sits, the worse it gets. Tony buys vacant properties no one else will touch — including ones that have been sitting for years.
Most Westchester County cash buyers want move-in-ready or near-move-in-ready properties. Tony specializes in the opposite: the vacant Yonkers houses with broken windows, leaky roofs, squatters, code citations, and three years of unpaid taxes. Cash on the table.
- Vacant for 1 year? 5 years? 20 years? Tony still buys
- Stop paying property taxes, vacant-home insurance, and code fines
- Squatters, copper theft, frozen pipes, vandalism — all OK
- Code violations and town liens paid at closing
- 7-day cash close stops the carrying-cost bleed
- Sells in any condition, regardless of how long it's been empty

How Sell a Vacant Property Works in Yonkers
What Tony has bought in Yonkers-area vacant property situations: houses vacant after a parent moved to assisted living, properties vacated during divorce that never got resolved, rental properties between tenants for years, fire-damaged houses that never got rebuilt, inherited houses where the heirs couldn't agree, and properties abandoned by owners who moved out of state and stopped paying everything.
Sections of Yonkers Tony Buys In
Yonkers has multi-families, walk-ups, and detached homes across every section. Tony buys inherited estates, tenant-occupied properties, and tired-landlord rentals. Southwest Yonkers — Getty Square, Nodine Hill, Park Hill, Ludlow — is 1900–1930 frame two- and three-families and five- and six-story pre-war walk-ups; east of the Saw Mill it turns to 1920s–50s Tudors, colonials, and capes in Crestwood, Colonial Heights, and Bryn Mawr, plus large co-op complexes and garden apartments along Central Park Avenue.

Selling a House in Yonkers: What Tony Already Knows
Yonkers sellers who call Tony split by side of the city. In southwest Yonkers it's small landlords done with a three-family on Nodine Hill — a tenant in Housing Court, a city code-enforcement order, and a boiler that won't make another winter — or heirs to a frame house on Park Hill that's been in the family since 1960. East of the Saw Mill it's adult children clearing out a parent's Crestwood colonial that hasn't been touched since 1975, or a co-op on Central Park Avenue the board keeps holding up. Tony buys the three-family occupied, the colonial full of belongings, and the co-op after board approval — one number on the phone, closing on your date.

What a Yonkers closing actually involves
Yonkers has its own city transfer tax of 1.5%, paid by the seller on top of the 0.4% New York State transfer tax — Tony nets both into his offer, so there's no surprise at the table. Closings use attorneys on both sides and record with the Westchester County Clerk in White Plains; estates go through Westchester Surrogate's Court, also in White Plains. Yonkers co-ops need board approval, and multi-families of six or more units may fall under Emergency Tenant Protection Act rent stabilization, which transfers with the building.
How a Cash Offer on a Yonkers 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.
| 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.

Questions From Yonkers Sellers
What about back property taxes on the vacant Yonkers house?
Tony's title company pays them at closing from the proceeds. Same with code violations, water/sewer liens, and any other municipal liens.
What if my Yonkers vacant property has squatters?
Tony has bought squatter-occupied properties. Tony's team handles the legal removal after closing. You walk away with the cash; Tony deals with the eviction.
What about copper theft, frozen pipes, broken windows?
Common in Yonkers-area vacant houses. None of it kills the deal. Tony's offer accounts for restoration costs.
Can Tony close before my next Yonkers property tax bill?
In most cases, yes. If the next tax installment is 30+ days out, Tony's 7-14 day close beats it. The next bill becomes Tony's responsibility, not yours.
Does Tony buy in southwest Yonkers as well as Crestwood and the east side?
Yes — all of Yonkers, ZIPs 10701 through 10710. Frame two- and three-families in Getty Square, Nodine Hill, Park Hill, and Ludlow; walk-ups on Warburton Avenue; Tudors and colonials in Crestwood, Colonial Heights, and Bryn Mawr; and co-ops and condos along Central Park Avenue. One call with the address gets you a number.
Who pays the Yonkers city transfer tax when I sell to Tony?
By custom the seller pays it — 1.5% of the price — along with the 0.4% state transfer tax. Tony accounts for both when he quotes your number, so the figure he gives you on the phone is what you should expect to net at closing, with no commission and no closing costs deducted on top.
My Yonkers three-family has a city code-enforcement order and a tenant who won't pay. Will Tony buy it?
Yes, occupied and with the order open. Yonkers Housing and Buildings violations transfer to Tony at closing, and so does the Housing Court case. You don't need to make the repairs or finish the eviction first. Tell him the unit count, who's paying what, and what the city cited, and he'll give you one number.
Will Tony buy my co-op apartment on Central Park Avenue in Yonkers?
Yes. Tony buys co-ops in the big Yonkers complexes and submits the board package himself. Board approval adds a few weeks, and some buildings limit investor purchases — he'll check the house rules and tell you on the phone whether he can be the buyer. Condos and houses have no board and close faster.
