Tudor Rows North Of Merrick Boulevard, Bigger Lots South Of It
Laurelton was laid out to look like an English village, and the blocks north of Merrick Boulevard, running east from Francis Lewis Boulevard, still do: attached Tudor rows with steep gables, many of them under slate, most built from the 1920s through the 1940s. South of Merrick the lots get bigger and the houses stand alone, mostly Tudors and colonials, and some streets are split by planted center malls. Merrick is the shopping street. The Laurelton LIRR station at 225th Street is on the Atlantic Branch, there is no subway, and Conduit Avenue marks the southern edge, a short hop from the Belt Parkway.
A lot of these houses have been in one family since the 1960s and 1970s, when Black and Caribbean families made Laurelton home, and they reach us now as estates: heirs in Kingston, Accra, or Houston, and a house nobody has updated since the last boiler. On the attached rows, age shows up as shared trouble: one roof line, one run of gutters, and a leak that can start two houses down, so fixing anything means getting the neighbors to agree. Prime Realty Buyers is a cash buyer based in Ozone Park, Queens, and we buy Laurelton houses before anyone has to call a roofer or a neighbor.
Why Laurelton Homeowners Sell To Prime Realty Buyers
Laurelton sellers tend to call about an old house rather than a crisis: a Tudor that outlived the people who kept it up. Some come with an estate attached, some with a tenant, some with heirs overseas. We buy the house the way the family left it.
One walkthrough and one written cash number, with the shared roof and the old systems already in it. The closing date is the family’s call.

Why Choose Prime Realty Buyers
Prime Realty Buyers is a Queens-based cash buyer with an office in Ozone Park. When you call, you reach a real person, often Chris himself, and whoever walks your Laurelton house writes the offer. We show you how we reached the number, including what the shared roof and the old systems did to it.
Ask for proof of funds and you’ll have it in writing. We work with your estate attorney here, and with relatives overseas through a notary or a U.S. consulate where they live, and we close on the date the family agrees on. If the house has to wait for Letters, it waits.

Real Laurelton Seller Stories
“The Tudor on our block north of Merrick was still in my grandfather’s name, twenty years after he died, and my grandmother had passed too. Nobody had opened an estate for either of them. Our attorney started at Surrogate’s Court, and Prime Realty Buyers signed a contract and waited the eight months it took. Chris checked on the empty house every few weeks. Thirteen days after the Letters issued, we closed.”
“I was in Accra and my sister was in London when our father died, and his Laurelton house became ours to deal with from two continents. Neither of us could come back for months, and the boiler quit that first winter. Chris arranged for the pipes to be drained, Prime Realty Buyers sent our papers through the estate attorney for signing where we live, and the sale closed in six weeks. A cousin in Rosedale collected the photo albums.”
“Our Tudor sits in the middle of an attached row, and when the slates started slipping, water came in on the neighbor’s side too. Two roofers wouldn’t touch slate, and the one who would couldn’t start until spring. Chris checked the stains on our ceilings and the neighbor’s, walked us through what the roof meant for the number, and Prime Realty Buyers closed in 22 days. The neighbors got the name of his slater.”
“Fifty winters of shoveling the stoop on 225th Street, a short walk from the Laurelton station, were enough for us. Our son found us a condo near him in Philadelphia, and Prime Realty Buyers set the closing for the week after our move. Chris let us leave the dining room set and the piano. We never held an open house or met a single stranger at the door.”
“The month after my father’s funeral, the tenant downstairs in his two-family near Springfield Boulevard stopped paying. I live in the Bronx and work nights, so I couldn’t chase a case at Housing Court or show the house to anyone. Prime Realty Buyers bought it with the tenant in place and took over from there. We closed in 27 days, and I got my weekends back.”

Frequently Asked Questions, Laurelton
My parent's house is on one of Laurelton's planted-mall blocks and has been empty for a year. Can you still buy it?
Yes. An empty house picks up problems fast: frozen pipes, a dead boiler, a roof nobody is watching. We buy it vacant and as it stands, and we can walk it on a day that suits whoever holds the keys.
My Laurelton house is part of an attached Tudor row. Does a shared roof or wall complicate a cash sale?
Not for us. On the rows north of Merrick Boulevard, a leak or a crack often involves the house next door, which makes repairs slow and inspections awkward. We buy your house as it stands and work out any shared repairs with the neighbors after closing.
Do you buy the big detached houses south of Merrick Boulevard in Laurelton, even if nothing has been updated since the 1970s?
Yes. Those houses often come with original kitchens, an old boiler, a slate or tile roof, and wiring from another era, and we buy them exactly that way. The condition goes into the written offer, and nothing gets fixed before closing.
Neither of my grandparents' estates was ever opened, and the Laurelton house is still in their names. Where do we start?
With an estate attorney, who may have to open both estates at Queens County Surrogate’s Court, 88-11 Sutphin Boulevard, before anyone can sign a deed. That can take a while, and we’re fine with it: the contract can be signed early, and the closing waits for the court.
Our father's Laurelton house goes to my sister in London and me in Accra. How do we sign from there?
Heirs abroad usually sign before a local notary or at a U.S. consulate, depending on what the estate attorney and the title company will accept, and the originals come back by courier. We close by mail and wire the proceeds to the attorney’s escrow account.
My Laurelton two-family near Springfield Boulevard has a tenant who stopped paying after my father died. Can you buy it occupied?
Yes. We buy occupied two-families, and the tenant becomes our responsibility the day we close, court case and all. We only need to see the unit once, at a time that suits the tenant.
Do I need to clean out the house first?
No. Take what the family wants to keep and leave the rest: the furniture, the piano, the boxes in the attic. We arrange the cleanout after closing.
Are there commissions, fees, or closing costs?
No. We pay the closing costs, there is no commission, and nothing extra comes out at the closing table. Your proceeds are our written offer minus whatever mortgage or liens get paid off.
