Driveways, Garages, And Two-Families, With No Subway In Sight
Flatlands is a neighborhood of driveways: attached and semi-detached brick houses from the 1920s into the 1960s, many of them two-families, with a garage and a finished basement. Flatlands Avenue, Avenue M, Kings Highway, and Ralph Avenue are the main roads, and Kings Plaza sits at the southern edge. No subway runs through Flatlands; the 2 and 5 end at Flatbush Avenue near Brooklyn College, and local and express buses cover the rest. The neighborhood is far older than its houses. It began as the Dutch settlement of Nieuw Amersfoort in 1636, and the Flatlands Dutch Reformed Church, whose congregation dates to 1654, still stands on Kings Highway in an 1848 building, a city landmark since 1966.
Many Flatlands owners bought decades ago, raised their families here, and paid off the house. The calls we get now often come from their children: a parent’s house with no will, a deed still in both parents’ names, a two-family with a tenant downstairs since the 1990s, or a garage someone turned into a bedroom without a permit. Prime Realty Buyers is a New York City cash buyer with its office in Ozone Park, a few minutes past the Brooklyn line, and we buy Flatlands houses as they stand. We explain the number in writing and close through your attorney on the date you choose.
Why Flatlands Homeowners Sell To Prime Realty Buyers
Flatlands houses tend to be well built and long owned, which is exactly why the paperwork piles up. A deed from the 1960s, a garage converted in the 1980s, a tenant since the 1990s. We buy the house with that history attached.
We’ll give you one written number and show how we reached it, line by line. If you’re better off waiting, we’ll say that too.
We Buy Flatlands Houses As-Is
We take the garage conversion, the sidewalk, and the tenant exactly as we find them.

Why Choose Prime Realty Buyers
Prime Realty Buyers is a New York City cash buyer working out of Ozone Park, a few minutes past the Brooklyn line, and the person who answers your call is the person who walks your Flatlands house. The written offer shows what we allowed for the conversion, the sidewalk, the oil tank, or the tenant, so nothing comes as a surprise later.
We provide proof of funds in writing before you sign, work through your attorney and a title company, and close on the day you pick. If the estate isn’t settled yet, we sign now and close later. If a foreclosure date is close, we move as quickly as the title allows.

Real Flatlands Seller Stories
“Mom’s semi-detached on East 56th Street had been in the family since 1952, and every closet was full. While the will went through Surrogate’s Court, my brother and I spent weekends sorting and barely made a dent. Prime Realty Buyers signed a contract during probate and told us to take only what mattered. We closed twelve days after the Letters issued, and they handled the rest.”
“My uncle never married, and I turned out to be his only heir, but I’d never been inside his house near Kings Highway until after the funeral. Every room was stacked with newspapers, the roof leaked over the back bedroom, and the boiler dated to the 1960s. Prime Realty Buyers bought it exactly the way he left it, and I took home only his photo albums and his Navy medals. We closed in 19 days.”
“The sewer line under our basement on East 53rd Street collapsed, and the plumber said the whole run to the street had to be dug up, sidewalk included. At seventy-eight, I wasn’t taking on a job like that. Chris came by the next morning, Prime Realty Buyers priced the sewer and the sidewalk into one written offer, and we closed in 16 days. My son moved me into his place on Staten Island.”
“When we went to sell our two-family off Avenue N, the buyer’s attorney found a DOB violation for the garage the previous owner had turned into a bedroom, plus an old ECB judgment and a sidewalk violation from the tree out front. Clearing all three meant plans, permits, and months. Prime Realty Buyers bought the house with every violation open, the judgment was paid from the proceeds at closing, and we were done in 24 days.”
“Our downstairs tenant moved into Dad’s two-family off Avenue M in 1994, and the rent barely moved after that. When Dad passed, it didn’t cover the taxes and the water bill, and I wasn’t going to start a fight with a woman who’d known me since I was a boy. Prime Realty Buyers bought the house with her lease in place and priced it on the rent it actually brings in. We closed in 29 days.”

Frequently Asked Questions, Flatlands
Dad turned the garage of our Flatlands house into a bedroom in the 1980s, without a permit. What does a buyer's attorney do with that?
Usually flags it, because the room isn’t on the certificate of occupancy and may carry a DOB violation, and a lender may not close until it’s resolved. We buy the house as it’s built now and deal with the DOB after closing. You don’t file plans or tear anything out.
Our Flatlands house has leased solar panels on the roof. Can you still buy it?
Usually, yes. A solar lease is a contract, usually with a filing recorded against the house, so your attorney gets the company’s transfer or payoff paperwork before closing. We factor the lease into the offer, and you don’t have to take anything off the roof.
Do you buy two-families near Avenue M with a long-time tenant paying well below market?
Yes. We buy with the tenant and the lease in place, and we price the house on the rent it actually brings in. You don’t have to raise the rent, start a case, or deliver the unit empty.
We got a DOT sidewalk violation for the tree roots in front of our Flatlands house. Do we have to fix it before selling?
No. The city holds the owner responsible for the sidewalk in front of the house, and an open violation can turn up on a buyer’s search. We buy with it open and take care of the repair after closing.
Mom and Dad owned our Flatlands house together, and both have passed. Whose estate handles the sale?
Usually only the estate of the parent who died last. When a married couple owns a house together, it typically passes to the survivor automatically, so the second estate is the one that sells. Your attorney confirms it from the deed, and we can sign a contract while that estate is opened, then close once the executor or administrator has authority.
Can you buy my Flatlands house if the old oil tank is still in the basement or buried in the yard?
Yes. Oil tanks are common in houses from the 1920s through the 1960s, and lenders and insurers often ask about them. We buy with the tank in place, in use or abandoned, and handle any removal or testing after closing.
Do I need to clean out the house first?
No. Pull out the papers, the photos, and anything with meaning. The furniture, the garage, and the basement can stay just as they are, and the cleanout is ours after closing.
Are there commissions, fees, or closing costs?
None. Zero commissions, zero closing costs charged to you, zero hidden fees. The number we offer is the number you walk away with, less only what you owe on the house.
