Federal Frame Houses, Carriage Lanes, And The City's First Landmark District
Brooklyn Heights became New York City’s first landmark district in 1965, and the houses explain why. Wood-frame Federal houses from the 1820s still stand on Middagh Street. Greek Revival and Italianate rowhouses from the 1830s through the 1850s run from the Fruit Streets down to Joralemon Street, and carriage houses sit tucked into Hunts Lane, Grace Court Alley, and College Place. The Heights also has larger apartment buildings, many of them co-ops or condos. The 2 and 3 stop at Clark Street, the 2, 3, 4, and 5 at Borough Hall, the R at Court Street, and the A and C at High Street.
Many of the calls we get from the Heights are about estates. A townhouse one family held for generations passes to an executor in Boston or Seattle, along with the paintings, the library, and a steam boiler nobody has looked at in years. Work on the windows, the stoop, or the cornice usually needs Landmarks approval before it starts. Some houses were cut into apartments long ago and the certificate of occupancy never caught up. Prime Realty Buyers, a New York City cash buyer working from Ozone Park, a few minutes past the Brooklyn line, buys the townhouse with all of that still in place.
Trusted By Brooklyn Heights Homeowners In:
the Fruit Streets, Columbia Heights, Willow Street, Pierrepont and Remsen Streets, Joralemon Street, the North Heights around Middagh Street, and the blocks off Montague Street, plus surrounding Brooklyn neighborhoods including DUMBO, Downtown Brooklyn, Cobble Hill, Boerum Hill, Fort Greene, Carroll Gardens, and Vinegar Hill.
Why Brooklyn Heights Homeowners Sell To Prime Realty Buyers
A Heights estate rarely comes down to the house alone. There are paintings and books to appraise, an executor living far away, and a facade that usually can’t be repaired without Landmarks Preservation Commission approval. We take it all as it is, on the estate’s timeline.
Sellers across Brooklyn Heights reach out to us when they're dealing with:
We make one written cash offer, show you how we got there, and keep the conversation between you, your attorney, and us. If we’re not the right buyer for the estate, you’ll hear it in the first conversation.

Why Choose Prime Realty Buyers
Prime Realty Buyers buys Heights townhouses for cash as a New York City buyer based in Ozone Park, a few minutes past the Brooklyn line. When you call, a person picks up, and the person who walks the townhouse writes the offer. We show you the math, including what we allowed for windows that need Landmarks approval, the boiler, and a lease with time left on it.
Estates move at the court’s pace, and families need time with the contents. We put proof of funds in writing before you sign, work through your attorney and a title company, and close when you say, whether that’s 7 days from now or the week after the auction house picks up.

Real Brooklyn Heights Seller Stories
Probate Property
“Being executor of my godmother’s Pierrepont Street townhouse while living in Portland felt impossible at first. Her will spent eight months at the Surrogate’s Court on Johnson Street, and the house was full of her paintings and books. Chris walked it with our attorney, signed a contract before the Letters came, and waited while the auction house took what it wanted. Prime Realty Buyers closed eleven days after the court finished.”
Out Of State Heir
“Our grandfather’s frame house on Middagh Street dates to the 1820s, and nobody in the family has lived in New York for years. The sills needed work, and most work on the outside of the house needs Landmarks approval first. Prime Realty Buyers bought it exactly as it stood. Chris explained how he priced the frame and the old wiring, our attorney arranged the signings by mail, and we closed in a little over a month.”
Repair Distress
“The cornice on our Hicks Street house started dropping pieces onto the sidewalk, and the DOB wrote a violation. Landmarks had to approve the repair, the sidewalk shed sat there for months, and then the boiler quit. We’d owned the house since 1979 and we were tired. Prime Realty Buyers took it with the violation open and the shed still up, walked us through the numbers line by line, and closed in 17 days.”
Downsizing
“Five floors on Willow Street is a lot of house for one man and a cat. After my wife died, I wanted an apartment near my daughter, but I didn’t want photos of our bedroom online or strangers opening closets. Chris came by once, Prime Realty Buyers put a written offer in my hands the next day, and they waited until the apartment was ready. We closed the same week I moved.”
Estate Cleanout
“Our parents filled their Joralemon Street house with forty years of books, prints, and furniture, and my brother and I live in London and Chicago. A dealer took the best pieces, and the rest overwhelmed us. Prime Realty Buyers set the closing for after the dealer’s pickup, bought the house with everything else still inside, and handled the cleanout themselves. We closed in 24 days and never hired a hauler.”

Frequently Asked Questions, Brooklyn Heights
Landmarks has to approve any new windows or stoop work on our Pierrepont Street house. Can we sell it with the old ones?
Yes. In the Brooklyn Heights Historic District, work on windows, stoops, ironwork, and cornices usually needs Landmarks Preservation Commission approval before it starts, and approved materials take time. The house sells as it stands, and the filing is ours once we own it.
Do you buy the 1820s wood-frame houses on Middagh Street and the carriage houses on the Heights' lanes?
Yes. A frame house from the 1820s, or a carriage house on Hunts Lane or Grace Court Alley, comes with its own questions about the structure, the systems, and what the certificate of occupancy shows. We price it as it stands, and nothing has to be opened up or repaired before closing.
Our family's Brooklyn Heights estate includes a townhouse and a co-op apartment. Can you help with both?
For the townhouse, yes: we can usually put a written offer in front of you within 24 hours of seeing it. A co-op sale needs board approval, so call us and we’ll tell you straight whether we can help with the apartment.
Our mother's Brooklyn Heights house is full of art and antiques. Can an appraiser or auction house go through it before you close?
Yes. Let the appraiser, the auction house, or a dealer take what they want first, and we’ll set the closing date around them. Everything left after that, from the books to the cellar, we clear after closing.
How long does a Brooklyn Heights estate take before the townhouse can be sold?
That depends on the will, the heirs, and the court’s calendar, and your attorney is the right person to ask. Kings County Surrogate’s Court at 2 Johnson Street issues the Letters, and we can usually sign a contract while the estate is open and close soon after the court is done.
Do you buy townhouses on the Fruit Streets that haven't been touched since the 1960s?
Yes. Dated kitchens, cracked plaster, steam heat, and old wiring are what we expect in a house on Cranberry, Orange, or Pineapple Street that one family held for decades. We price it as it stands, and you don’t modernize anything first.
Do I need to clean out the house first?
No. Take the family pieces, the papers, and anything else you want to keep. Leave the furniture and whatever is in the cellar, and we handle the rest after closing.
Are there commissions, fees, or closing costs?
None. You pay no commission and no closing costs, and nothing gets added at the end. The number in our written offer is what you receive, less only what’s owed on the house.
