Trusted By Inwood Homeowners In:
The pre-WWII and 1950s through 1960s working-class Cape, ranch, and two-family rental blocks across Mott Avenue, Greene Avenue, Doughty Boulevard, Burnside Avenue, and Sheridan Boulevard, the residential streets near LIRR Inwood station on the Far Rockaway Branch, the blocks walking distance to Number Two School and Number Four School in Lawrence UFSD, the Inwood Park area, the streets near the Atlantic Beach Bridge approach, the JFK flight path corridor with Part 150 soundproofed homes, plus surrounding southwestern Nassau and Queens-border communities including Lawrence, Cedarhurst, Woodmere, Hewlett, Atlantic Beach, Lynbrook, Valley Stream, Far Rockaway, Bayswater, and Long Beach.
Why Inwood Homeowners Sell To Prime Realty Buyers
Inwood has a different selling profile than Lawrence to its east or Far Rockaway across the Queens line. Working-class hamlet under the JFK approach path. The outlier Five Town. Higher foreclosure concentration than the rest of the Five Towns combined. Hispanic and Latino majority community with deep Central American and Caribbean ties. When an Inwood house actually goes up for sale, the seller usually wants speed, multilingual coordination, and a real number that doesn’t fall apart at the closing table.
JFK Airport flight path and Part 150 noise zone. Inwood sits directly under the JFK approach path. Aircraft noise is a real factor. The FAA’s Part 150 program soundproofed many Inwood houses with sealed windows, insulated walls, and HVAC modifications, and FAA noise contour maps placed sections of Inwood inside the highest impact zones. Retail buyers walk after a Saturday afternoon when the wide-bodies are landing every two minutes. We don’t penalize for the flight path the way a typical retail buyer does.
Five Towns working-class outlier identity. Inwood is technically part of the Five Towns alongside Lawrence, Cedarhurst, Woodmere, and Hewlett, but the demographic and equity gap is real. Lawrence runs to multi-million-dollar Tudor estates. Woodmere goes high-equity Orthodox Jewish. Inwood is Hispanic and Latino majority across Salvadoran, Honduran, Mexican, Puerto Rican, and Dominican families, with a long-established Italian-American base and a growing Caribbean and Haitian-American population. Lawrence UFSD #15 covers everyone, but the seller pressures and privacy concerns are different in Inwood.
Foreclosure pressure with Nassau County auction dates set. Inwood carries a higher foreclosure concentration than the rest of the Five Towns combined. Nassau County foreclosure auctions are scheduled with hard deadlines. We sign contracts the same day we walk the property, close in 7 to 14 days where the auction clock requires it, and stop the auction process before the gavel drops. We’ve done this in Inwood enough times to know the timing.
Hispanic, Latino, and Caribbean/Haitian-American heir coordination. A meaningful share of Inwood estates we close involve heirs across San Salvador, Tegucigalpa, Mexico City, Santo Domingo, San Juan, Port-au-Prince, Miami, and beyond. Spanish, Haitian Creole, and French signings, consular notarization through the Salvadoran, Honduran, Mexican, and Dominican consulates in Manhattan, and respectful pacing around the family timeline are part of how we operate in Inwood.
Other reasons sellers call us:
Job relocation, often to Florida, Texas, the Carolinas, Atlanta, Charlotte, Tampa, or Phoenix
- JFK workforce family relocations to other carrier hubs
- Tired landlord exits on two- and three-family rentals along Mott Avenue, Doughty Boulevard, and Burnside Avenue
- Vacant homes losing money every month
- Tax liens, judgments, and clouded titles
- Hoarder conditions and full estate cleanouts
- Major repairs the owner can’t or won’t fund
- LIRR Far Rockaway Branch commuter retirements

What Inwood Homeowners Say
JFK Workforce Family, Carrier Relocation, Two-Family With Tenant Upstairs
My wife and I both worked at JFK for the better part of fifteen years. I was on the ramp with American, she was customer service with Delta. We bought our Inwood two-family in 2008 and rented out the upstairs to a JFK ground crew family. Last fall American consolidated our work down to Charlotte, and Delta gave my wife the option of Atlanta. We took the moves. The upstairs tenant was paying, and we did not have time to vacate, fix up, and list. Prime Realty Buyers kept the tenant in place and closed in eighteen days.
Italian-American Inwood Original Owners Since 1958, Adult Children Out Of State
My parents came over from Calabria after the war and bought our Inwood Cape new in 1958. My father worked at the lumber yard on Rockaway Turnpike for thirty-seven years. They paid the house off in 1986 and never moved. My father passed in 2021, my mother last winter. The Cape had the original kitchen, the original boiler, partial knob-and-tube in the attic, and a 1974 rear addition without a final permit. My sister is in North Carolina, I’m in Florida, our brother is in New Jersey. Prime Realty Buyers handled the cleanout including the wine cellar and closed twelve days after Letters Testamentary.
Tired Haitian-American Landlord, Four-Unit Building, Mixed-Paying Tenants
I came to the United States from Port-au-Prince in 1993. I worked two jobs for fifteen years and bought a four-unit on Doughty Boulevard in 2008. The first ten years were fine. The last six have been a nightmare. The first floor pays late, the second floor stopped in spring, the third is mostly empty, the fourth pays but the family is bigger than the lease. I am sixty-three. Prime Realty Buyers walked the property, listened to each apartment in Haitian Creole where I needed it, and closed in twenty-one days.
Foreclosure Pressure With A Nassau County Auction Date Already Set
I lost my job at the dispatch company last year and fell three months behind on the mortgage. The Nassau County auction was scheduled for the end of the month. I called two cash buyers from signs on Rockaway Turnpike. The first disappeared when I asked for proof of funds. The second wanted me to sign a wholesale assignment without ever seeing the inside. With less than three weeks to go, I called Prime Realty Buyers. They came out the same day, gave me a number with proof of funds in writing, signed that night, and closed nine days later, four days before the auction.
Inherited Inwood House From Mother, Heir In Florida, Multi-State Coordination
My mother bought the Inwood house in 1985. She was Puerto Rican, my stepfather was a longtime Inwood resident. He passed in 2015, my mother last spring. I’m her only daughter and I live in Orlando. The inside was rougher than I expected. Original 1985 kitchen, original baths, partial water damage from a roof issue, and ten years of belongings. Two retail agents wanted thirty-five thousand in cleanout before they could list. I had neither the money nor the time to fly up six times. Prime Realty Buyers signed during probate, coordinated bilingual signings remotely, and closed eight days after Letters Testamentary.

Frequently Asked Questions
My Inwood house is under the JFK flight path with Part 150 soundproofed windows. Will the airport noise hurt the offer?
Less than it hurts a retail listing. JFK approach-path adjacency, aircraft noise, Part 150 noise zone designation, and FAA-program soundproofed windows and HVAC modifications all narrow the retail buyer pool. We factor location into our offer but don’t penalize the way a typical retail buyer does after a Saturday afternoon walkthrough with the wide-bodies coming in every two minutes.
I'm in foreclosure and the Nassau County auction date is in three weeks. Can you close that fast?
Yes. We sign contracts the same day we walk the property when an auction date demands it, and close in 7 to 14 days where the timeline requires. We’ve stopped Nassau County auction dates in Inwood enough times to know the timing. Proof of funds is in writing the same day on request.
I own a two-family or three-family in Inwood with tenants in place. Some are paying, some are not, and one is hostile. Can you still buy?
Yes. Two-family, three-family, and four-family rentals with paying tenants, non-paying tenants, holdover tenants, hostile tenants, Section 8 or HUD voucher tenants, and any combination of all of the above are a regular part of our work in Inwood. We buy with the tenant situation as it stands and handle everything from there.
Inwood is in the Town of Hempstead. Will an open permit or missing CO from the town stop the sale?
Not with us. Open Town of Hempstead permits, expired permits, missing COs on dormers, additions, decks, basement conversions, and rear extensions are situations we close around. They often stop a retail listing because the buyer’s bank won’t close. We buy direct, no bank involved.
Does Lawrence UFSD #15 affect your offer?
The Lawrence UFSD is one factor retail buyers price for, and we factor it in too. The bigger advantage of selling to us is privacy and timing flexibility. The community is small and tight, and an off-market sale skips the public listing, the Zillow price history, and the questions at the next Tornadoes football game.
Heirs are in El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Haiti, or elsewhere. Can you coordinate that?
Yes. Multi-country heir signings, consular notarization through the Salvadoran, Honduran, Mexican, and Dominican consulates in Manhattan, and multi-time-zone coordination across Central America and the Caribbean are part of how we operate in Inwood. Spanish, Haitian Creole, French, and Italian signings are coordinated as needed.
I work at JFK and we are getting transferred to Atlanta or Charlotte. Can you close before our move?
Yes. JFK workforce relocations to Atlanta, Charlotte, Tampa, Phoenix, and other carrier hubs are a regular part of our Inwood work. Closings are scheduled around your relocation timeline. Carrier transition deadlines are not a problem.
My tenant has not paid in months and refuses to leave. Will you still buy?
Yes. Non-paying tenants, holdover tenants, and even hostile tenant situations are not a deal killer. We buy with the tenants in place and handle the rest after closing. You don’t need to evict before you sell.
Can you buy an Inwood house that's still in Nassau Surrogate's Court probate?
Yes. We sign contracts during probate every month. The closing happens once Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration are issued. Surrogate’s Court is in nearby Mineola.
Do I need to clean out the house first?
No. Take whatever matters. Photos, jewelry, family heirlooms, religious items, ancestral documents. Leave the furniture, the appliances, the boxes, and the contents of the basement, attic, and garage. We handle every piece after closing. If a tenant has left things behind, we handle that too.
How fast can you close, and will the sale show up publicly?
Most Inwood closings happen in 7 to 21 days. When a foreclosure auction date is on the calendar, we close in 7 to 14 days. The closing is a public record at the Nassau County Clerk, like any sale. The property is never listed publicly during the process. No MLS, no Zillow listing, no sign in the front yard, no open houses.
