English Tudors Off Lefferts Boulevard, Borough Hall On Queens Boulevard
Albon Man’s heirs laid out Kew Gardens after the LIRR main line cut through a golf course in 1908, and the lots they sold from 1910 on went mostly to English and Tudor-style houses. Those houses still stand on Grosvenor Road, Audley Street, Talbot Street, and Mowbray Drive, with a few older Victorians among them and 1920s apartment buildings along the edges. Lefferts Boulevard crosses the tracks on a bridge lined with storefronts, the Kew Gardens LIRR station has served the neighborhood since 1910, the E and F stop at Kew Gardens-Union Turnpike, and Park Lane runs along Forest Park.
Queens Borough Hall sits at 120-55 Queens Boulevard, inside Kew Gardens, and the DOB’s Queens office is in that building. That matters more than people expect: a century-old house can carry history on file, from a porch enclosed without a permit to old work the DOB never signed off. The owners who call us are often settling the estate of parents who bought here decades ago, or facing a roof, a chimney, and wiring that all came due at once. Prime Realty Buyers is based in Ozone Park. We buy Kew Gardens houses as they are, violations included, and close in as little as 7 days.

Why Kew Gardens Homeowners Sell To Prime Realty Buyers
Kew Gardens houses have had about a century to collect history: estates, old permits, and repairs that came due together. We buy the house with that history attached, so nobody spends a year clearing it first.

Why Choose Prime Realty Buyers
Prime Realty Buyers is a Queens cash buyer working out of Ozone Park, a short drive south of Kew Gardens. Call us and a person picks up, and that same person comes out to see the house. The offer comes with its reasoning in plain words: how we weighed the roof, the old wiring, and the violations on file, and why the number landed where it did.
Proof of funds is yours in writing whenever you ask. We coordinate with the estate’s attorney or your own, and we close when you’re ready: in as little as 7 days, or after the family has had time to go through the house. If a court date or a tenant sets the pace, we follow it.

Real Kew Gardens Seller Stories
Probate Property
“My father’s Tudor on Grosvenor Road went into probate with a roof that leaked into two bedrooms. Every storm made it worse while we waited on Surrogate’s Court, and we couldn’t hire a roofer for a house none of us had authority over yet. Prime Realty Buyers signed with us during the wait and closed two weeks after the Letters issued. The ceilings were Chris’s problem by then.”
Inherited House
“My grandparents bought their house off Lefferts Boulevard after the war, and my mother lived there until last year. I’m in London and my brother is in Toronto. Between us we had seventy years of furniture, a boiler nobody trusted, and no time. Prime Realty Buyers bought it as it stood, arranged signings through our attorney, and closed in six weeks without either of us flying in.”
Repair Distress
“Our 1920s house near Austin Street still had knob-and-tube wiring upstairs, and the insurance company wanted it replaced. Then the stucco cracked and the chimney started pulling away from the wall. Our buyer read the engineer’s report and walked. Chris came through once, explained how each problem figured into the offer, and Prime Realty Buyers closed in nineteen days. We never hired a contractor.”
Downsizing
“After four decades near Forest Park, my wife and I wanted one floor and no stairs. Our house needed a roof and a kitchen before it would show well, and we didn’t have the energy for either. Prime Realty Buyers gave us a written offer the day after the walkthrough, waited until our new apartment was ready, and closed thirty days later. We packed the photographs and left the rest.”
Open Violations
“We found out about the violations when we tried to refinance: an enclosed porch and a basement bathroom a previous owner built without permits, both open at the DOB. Borough Hall is ten minutes from our house, and clearing them still meant architects, filings, and inspections. Prime Realty Buyers bought the house with every violation open, Chris walked us through what that did to the number, and we closed in twenty-four days.”

Frequently Asked Questions, Kew Gardens
Queens Borough Hall is right in Kew Gardens. Shouldn't I clear my DOB violations there before I sell?
You can, and some owners do, but clearing an old violation often means an architect, new filings, inspections, and an OATH hearing if ECB penalties are attached. That can take months. We buy Kew Gardens houses with the violations open, factor them into the offer, and handle them after closing.
My Kew Gardens house is a 1920s Tudor with the original wiring and steam heat. Will you buy it like that?
Yes. Knob-and-tube wiring, a steam boiler, and plaster nobody has opened in decades come with a lot of houses from that era. We buy the house with all of it and account for the work in the offer, so you don’t call an electrician or a plumber first.
Can you buy a house on Grosvenor Road or Audley Street before the estate's Letters are issued?
In most cases, yes. We sign the contract with the executor now and close once Queens County Surrogate’s Court on Sutphin Boulevard issues Letters. Your estate attorney handles the court and we handle the house, and nothing needs to be fixed or emptied in the meantime.
I'm a flight attendant based at JFK and I'm transferring. Can I sell my Kew Gardens house from another city?
Yes. We walk the house with you or whoever has the key, send the offer in writing, and close through your attorney with documents signed wherever you are. You don’t need to come back for the closing.
A previous owner enclosed the porch and finished the attic in my Kew Gardens house without permits. Is that a problem?
Not for us. Enclosed porches, finished attics, and basement bathrooms built without permits don’t stop a cash sale. We price the house as it is and deal with the DOB after closing, so you don’t hire an architect to legalize anything first.
My Kew Gardens house is rented out. Can you buy it with the tenant still living there?
Yes. If you rented the house after moving, we can buy it with the tenant in place, whether the rent is current or months behind, and even with a case open at Queens Housing Court on Sutphin Boulevard. You don’t have to deliver it empty.
Do I need to clean out the house first?
No. Take the family pieces and the papers you need. Everything else, from the attic trunks to the basement shelves, stays, and we take care of it after closing.
Are there commissions, fees, or closing costs?
No commissions, no closing costs to you, and no fees. What we offer in writing is what you receive at closing, less any mortgage or liens owed on the house.
