Capes, Split-Levels, And Waterfront Houses At The Foot Of The Bridge
Whitestone sits at the Queens end of the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge, which opened in 1939, and much of the neighborhood went up between the late 1930s and the 1950s: Tudors, colonials, capes, and split-levels on quiet blocks between the Whitestone Expressway and Francis Lewis Boulevard. Malba, on the East River west of the expressway, and Beechhurst, along the shore toward the Throgs Neck Bridge, add larger waterfront houses. There’s no subway and no LIRR station, so people drive or take a bus to Main Street in Flushing, and they shop on 150th Street and 14th Avenue.
Plenty of Whitestone houses have been in one family since they were new, and many of our calls come from the children who grew up in them. The reasons are specific to the house. A Malba or Beechhurst lot with flood-zone and seawall questions. A split-level with a ground-floor apartment the certificate of occupancy doesn’t show. A dormer built years ago on a DOB permit nobody closed. Prime Realty Buyers is a Queens-based cash buyer in Ozone Park, and we buy Whitestone houses as they are, questions and all, then close when you’re ready.
Why Whitestone Homeowners Sell To Prime Realty Buyers
Whitestone sellers usually call about one specific thing, and it’s rarely the neighborhood. It’s the water at the end of the street, the apartment downstairs, or a permit from decades ago that never got signed off. You don’t have to settle it before we buy.
Tell us what the house needs and what you need from the sale. We’ll put one cash number in writing and set the closing around your plans.

Why Choose Prime Realty Buyers
Prime Realty Buyers is a Queens-based cash buyer with an office in Ozone Park, down the Van Wyck from Whitestone, and we buy all along the North Shore of Queens. A real person answers when you call. The person who walks your Whitestone house writes the offer and explains every part of it, including what we allowed for the flood questions, the apartment, or the old burner.
If you want proof of funds, we’ll put it in writing. We work through your attorney or the estate’s attorney, and we don’t need a lender’s approval or an appraisal. You set the closing date, as soon as 7 days out or later in the year, after the family has taken what it wants from the house. Hablamos español.

Real Whitestone Seller Stories
“My parents’ house off Clintonville Street went into probate after my mother died. My brother lives in Pennsylvania, I’m in Arizona, and the house had the original kitchen, a basement full of Dad’s tools, and a boiler on its last winter. Chris waited out the court with us without once pushing, and Prime Realty Buyers closed the week after the Letters issued. We kept the photo albums, and they cleared everything else.”
“My grandmother’s house near Francis Lewis Park came to me and three cousins, and none of us lives in New York anymore. The roof leaked, the boiler was dead, and her things filled every room. Prime Realty Buyers gave all four of us the same written offer, set up the signings through the estate’s attorney, bought the house full, and closed in 31 days. Nobody had to fly back to empty a closet.”
“Our house in Malba sits right on the water. When we first tried to sell, two financed buyers backed out over flood insurance and the condition of the seawall. Prime Realty Buyers walked it once, priced the seawall and the flood zone into one written number, and closed in 19 days. We didn’t hire an engineer, get an insurance quote, or fix a single thing.”
“My wife and I were ready for something smaller after thirty years in our split-level off 150th Street. The downstairs apartment where her mother used to live was never on the CO, and a buyer’s attorney wanted it legalized before closing. Prime Realty Buyers had a number to us by the next evening, took the apartment as it was, and closed in 23 days. We moved once and never had to deal with the DOB.”
“I bought a two-family near the Whitestone Expressway as an investment, and for years it ran fine. Then the downstairs tenant stopped paying, and the Housing Court case dragged from one date to the next while the mortgage, the taxes, and the water bill kept coming. Chris walked me through the number on the phone, Prime Realty Buyers took the house tenant and all, and the closing was 25 days later.”

Frequently Asked Questions, Whitestone
Our house in Malba is right on the water. Does the flood zone change your offer?
It’s part of the number, not a reason to say no. Some waterfront blocks in Malba and Beechhurst sit in a FEMA flood zone, which brings insurance and elevation questions for a buyer with a mortgage. We pay cash, so no lender is requiring flood insurance, and we factor the zone, the seawall, and any water history into one written offer.
My split-level in Whitestone has an apartment downstairs that isn't on the CO. Can I still sell it?
Yes. Ground-floor and basement apartments that don’t match the certificate of occupancy turn up in plenty of Whitestone split-levels and two-families, and they’re a sticking point for lenders and buyers’ attorneys. We buy the house as it is, tenant or no tenant, and handle the DOB side after closing.
Do you buy houses along the Whitestone Expressway service roads?
Yes. A house beside the expressway or the bridge approach can take longer to sell to a family looking for a quiet block. We buy on the service roads the same way we buy anywhere else in Whitestone: one walkthrough and a written number within 24 hours.
A dormer on our Whitestone house was built years ago and the DOB permit was never closed. Is that a problem?
Not for us. Open permits and work that was never signed off show up in a buyer’s municipal searches, and lenders often want them closed first. We buy with the permit open and take care of the DOB filings after closing.
My parents' house off 150th Street is in probate. Can you buy it before the estate is settled?
Usually, yes. We can sign a contract with the executor now and close once Queens County Surrogate’s Court, at 88-11 Sutphin Boulevard in Jamaica, issues Letters. Your estate attorney handles the court side, and the house stays as it is until then, with no showings.
Our family's house near the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge has been empty for two winters. Can you still buy it?
Yes. A house that sat empty that long often has frozen pipes, a roof leak nobody caught, or a yard gone wild, and we price all of that into one written offer. You don’t have to turn the heat back on or clear anything out first.
Do I need to clean out the house first?
No. Pull out the photos, the paperwork, and anything you want to keep. The furniture, the tools in the garage, and the boxes in the crawl space can stay, and we arrange the cleanout once we own the house.
Are there commissions, fees, or closing costs?
None on your side. There’s 0% commission, we pay the closing costs, and nothing is deducted at the table except a mortgage or liens you already owe. The written offer is the number you work from.
