North Of The Parkway, South Of The Parkway
Eastern Parkway, laid out by Olmsted and Vaux and a city scenic landmark since 1978, runs straight through the middle of Crown Heights. North of it, up to Atlantic Avenue, brownstone and brick rowhouses, flats buildings, and apartment houses from the 1870s to the 1930s fill the Crown Heights North landmark districts, designated in 2007 and extended in 2011 and 2015. South of it, limestone and brick rows and prewar apartment houses run down toward Empire Boulevard. The 3 stops under the parkway at Franklin, Nostrand, Kingston, and Utica Avenues, the 2 and 5 turn down Nostrand Avenue, and the Franklin Avenue Shuttle serves the western edge.
Many owners here are West Indian families who bought in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, and Lubavitch families have owned near Kingston Avenue for generations. The houses themselves are often working buildings: three-family and four-family flats with tenants of twenty years, some of them on Section 8 vouchers, and owners who are ready to stop being landlords. Other calls start with an estate, like a tax bill that rose once a parent’s senior exemption ended. Prime Realty Buyers, a New York City cash buyer whose Ozone Park office sits a few minutes past the Brooklyn line, buys these houses occupied or empty.
Why Crown Heights Homeowners Sell To Prime Realty Buyers
Crown Heights owners usually call about the people in the house more than the plaster. Tenants have been in the flats for decades, some of them on vouchers, or an estate is paying a tax bill the parent never saw. We buy with the house occupied and set the date around everyone in it.
We put one cash offer in writing and go through it with you and anyone in the family who wants to listen in. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll say so on the first call.
We Buy Crown Heights Houses As-Is
Hand over the keys with the tenants home, the cellar full, and the old wiring exactly as it is.

Why Choose Prime Realty Buyers
Prime Realty Buyers is a New York City cash buyer based in Ozone Park, a short drive from Utica Avenue. A person answers the phone. We walk the house once, write one offer, and go through the number with you and anyone in the family who wants to hear it, in the parlor or on a call from Kingston or Toronto.
Our proof of funds is in your hands, in writing, before any contract. We work through your attorney and a title company, take over each lease and any voucher paperwork at closing, and set the date around your family. Walkthroughs happen on days that suit you, and never on your Sabbath.

Real Crown Heights Seller Stories
“When my mother died, her senior exemption ended, and the tax bill on her President Street house went up while I waited on Surrogate’s Court. I’m a nurse on rotating shifts and couldn’t manage an empty house and a renovation. Prime Realty Buyers signed a contract while the estate was still open, paid the back taxes out of the sale, and we closed two weeks after my Letters came.”
“I inherited my aunt’s two-family on Rogers Avenue along with her upstairs tenant, who had paid with a Section 8 voucher for eleven years. Every buyer who called asked whether she would be gone by closing, and I wasn’t going to ask her to leave. Prime Realty Buyers bought the house with her lease in place, handled the change of ownership with the housing agency, and closed in 27 days.”
“Our four-family on Brooklyn Avenue still ran on the building’s original electrical service, and the electrician said every apartment needed new wiring and its own meter before anyone added another air conditioner. On a retired teacher’s pension, that was out of reach. Chris priced the rewiring and the old boiler into one written offer, Prime Realty Buyers bought the building with all four tenants home, and we closed in 19 days.”
“We paid off our house on Lincoln Place years ago, and when we chose a condo in Florida, we wanted a figure we could plan the rest of our lives around. Chris walked through once and put one number in writing. Prime Realty Buyers never moved off it, let us sell the furniture at our own pace, and closed the week the condo was ready.”
“My father bought our three-family on Crown Street in the seventies, and somehow I became the landlord. I’m not handy, the boiler was on its last winter, and the top-floor apartment had sat empty since a leak. Chris never asked to come by on Shabbat, explained exactly how he priced the boiler and the empty unit, and Prime Realty Buyers bought the house with both tenants at home. We closed in 25 days.”

Frequently Asked Questions, Crown Heights
Our upstairs tenant in Crown Heights pays with a Section 8 voucher. Can you buy the house with her lease in place?
Yes. The tenant stays, the lease passes to us at closing, and we handle the change-of-ownership paperwork with the agency that administers the voucher. In most cases the subsidy continues once the agency approves the new owner, and your attorney can confirm the details. You don’t need to ask anyone to move before selling.
Dad had the senior exemption on our Crown Heights house. What happens with the taxes now?
The exemption was tied to your father, so the bill usually rises once the city removes it, and the estate carries that cost until the sale. Any unpaid taxes or DEP water charges are paid from the proceeds at closing, and the title company confirms the figures. Your attorney can tell you whether anyone else in the family qualifies for an exemption.
How do you price a Crown Heights flats building when the rents are low and the tenants are long-term?
We base the number on the rent roll as it stands and the repairs the building needs, not on what it might rent for empty. The tenants stay, the leases pass to us at closing, and we schedule our one walkthrough around them.
We keep Shabbat and live near Kingston Avenue. Can you schedule the walkthrough and closing around it and the holidays?
Yes. Tell us which days and hours work and we’ll keep to them. Closings take place on weekdays during business hours, and we’ll plan the date around the holiday calendar.
Our flats building off Eastern Parkway still runs on its original electrical service. Do we have to upgrade it before selling?
No. Old service, shared meters, and wiring from another era all get priced into the offer, and you don’t hire an electrician or call the utility first. After closing, the upgrade is ours.
Do you buy houses on the eastern blocks near Utica and Rochester Avenues, not just the brownstone streets?
Yes. We buy across Crown Heights, from the brownstone blocks near Brower Park to the rowhouses and two-families out toward Utica, Rochester, and Ralph Avenues. The block and the condition shape the number; the process stays the same.
Do I need to clean out the house first?
No. Pack what matters to you and leave everything else, from the furniture to whatever is in the cellar. We arrange the cleanout after closing, at no cost to you.
Are there commissions, fees, or closing costs?
None at all. We don’t charge a commission or a fee, and we pay the closing costs on our side. What you walk away with is the written offer, less any mortgage, liens, or back taxes cleared at closing.
