From The Porches Of Prospect Park South To The Two-Families Off Church Avenue
Flatbush runs south from Prospect Park toward Brooklyn College, with Flatbush Avenue down the middle and the old Dutch church, Erasmus Hall, and the Kings Theatre along it. Between Coney Island and Ocean Avenues sits Victorian Flatbush, where detached frame houses went up around 1900 with porches, turrets, and driveways. Prospect Park South became a landmark district in 1979, Ditmas Park in 1981, and Fiske Terrace-Midwood Park in 2008. Elsewhere the blocks are brick rowhouses, two-families, and prewar apartment houses. The B and Q stop at Church Avenue and Newkirk Plaza, the Q also at Beverley and Cortelyou Roads, and the 2 and 5 run under Nostrand Avenue to Brooklyn College.
Many owners are Haitian, Jamaican, and Trinidadian families who bought two-families in the 1970s and 1980s and rented the second floor to carry the mortgage. In Victorian Flatbush, owners who have kept up a big frame house for decades now face the porch, the roof, and the siding in the same year. When those houses become estates, the family is often spread from Brooklyn to Montreal and Port-au-Prince. We’re Prime Realty Buyers, a New York City cash buyer working from an office in Ozone Park, a few minutes past the Brooklyn line. We buy these houses as they stand, soft porch and tenants included.
Trusted By Flatbush Homeowners In:
Prospect Park South, Ditmas Park, Fiske Terrace, Beverley Square, the blocks off Church Avenue, the side streets near Erasmus Hall, and Little Haiti, plus surrounding Brooklyn neighborhoods including Prospect Lefferts Gardens, East Flatbush, Kensington, Midwood, Crown Heights, and Flatlands.
Why Flatbush Homeowners Sell To Prime Realty Buyers
A Flatbush call usually starts with one of three things: a Victorian that needs a roof and a porch in the same year, a two-family with a tenant who stopped paying, or an estate with heirs in three countries. We buy the house with all of it still in place.
Sellers across Flatbush reach out to us when they're dealing with:
Asbestos shingles over the original clapboard, with sills and porch posts rotting underneath
Heating bills for nine or ten rooms that one owner no longer needs
The offer comes in writing with every repair we priced listed beside it, and the closing date is yours to pick.
We Buy Flatbush Houses As-Is
Leave the porch unpainted and the attic full; we buy Flatbush houses the way they are.
We buy:
Take what matters. Leave the rest. The attic trunks, the soft porch, and the oil tank all become our problem at closing.
Why Choose Prime Realty Buyers
Prime Realty Buyers is a New York City cash buyer, and our Ozone Park office is a few minutes from the Brooklyn line. When you call, you get a person. We walk the whole house, porch to attic, and your offer comes with a list of every repair we priced, from the roof to the oil tank, so you can see how the number was built.
We close through your attorney and a title company, with our proof of funds in your attorney’s hands before you sign, on the date that suits the family. If the house is empty because you’ve already moved, a relative or your attorney can let us in, and you never have to fly back.

Real Flatbush Seller Stories
Probate Property
“Nobody had lived in my aunt’s Victorian on Rugby Road for months, and the court still hadn’t named me executor. The porch had gone soft, the oil tank was older than I am, and the heating bills kept coming. Chris walked it room by room, Prime Realty Buyers had a contract ready before my papers came through, and we closed 12 days after they did.”
Inherited House
“My grandmother’s Victorian in Prospect Park South came to me with a porch that was pulling away from the house. Because it’s a landmark district, rebuilding it meant Landmarks approval for every post and rail, and I’m a teacher with two kids. Prime Realty Buyers bought the house with the porch propped up, took on the approvals after closing, and we closed in 20 days.”
Repair Distress
“When we priced new siding for our house on Marlborough Road, the contractor found asbestos shingles over the original clapboard and rot in the sills underneath. Abatement, new sills, and new siding together were more than two pensions could carry. Chris priced all of it into one written offer, Prime Realty Buyers bought the house as it stood, and we closed in 15 days and moved near our grandchildren.”
Downsizing
“I raised four children in a nine-room house near Cortelyou Road, and after my husband died I was heating every room for one person. I didn’t want to spend a year getting it ready for buyers. Prime Realty Buyers made a written offer, Chris came back twice to answer my son’s questions, and we set the closing for the Friday before I moved into a one-bedroom near my daughter in Canarsie.”
Landlord Headache
“I moved to Tampa and kept renting out both floors of my two-family on East 21st Street. The tenant upstairs stopped paying, and then a pipe burst and flooded the kitchen downstairs while I was a thousand miles away. Prime Realty Buyers bought the house with the tenant still upstairs and the water damage unrepaired, went over their numbers with me by phone, and closed in 22 days.”

Frequently Asked Questions, Flatbush
Our Victorian is in the Ditmas Park or Prospect Park South landmark district, and the porch is rotting. Do we have to rebuild it before selling?
No. In those districts, porch, siding, and window work usually needs Landmarks Preservation Commission approval, and rebuilding a porch to that standard takes time. We buy the house with the porch as it is, and the LPC application and the rebuild become ours after closing.
Our Flatbush Victorian still has knob-and-tube wiring and an old oil tank. Do we have to replace them before selling?
No. We price the wiring and the tank into the offer and show you how, so you don’t hire an electrician or a tank company first. Both become our job after closing.
Our Flatbush house has asbestos shingles over the original clapboard. Does that matter?
Not to us. Asbestos-cement shingles went over a lot of old wood houses in the middle of the last century, and inspectors flag them. We buy the house with the siding as it is and handle any abatement after closing.
Our Flatbush Victorian was divided into apartments before we ever owned it. Can we still sell it as it is?
Yes. Lenders usually balk when the number of apartments doesn’t match the certificate of occupancy, which is why these houses are hard to finance. We pay cash, buy the house as it’s used now, and settle the paperwork with the DOB afterward.
I've already moved out of state and my Flatbush house is empty. Can I sell without flying back?
Yes. A relative, a neighbor, or your attorney can let us in for the walkthrough, or we can do it by video. You sign where you live with your attorney’s help, and we close by mail.
How do you price a big old house in Victorian Flatbush?
We walk every floor with you and write down what we see: the roof, the porch, the boiler, the wiring, the plumbing, the windows. Then we price each item and show you the list next to the offer, so you know exactly how the number was built.
Do I need to clean out the house first?
No. Take the pictures, the papers, and whatever the family wants to keep, then leave the rest in place. The attic, the basement, and the garage get cleared after closing at our expense.
Are there commissions, fees, or closing costs?
No. There’s no commission and no fee, and we pay the closing costs. Your proceeds are the written offer minus anything owed on the house, such as a mortgage or back taxes.
