Where I Come From

My name is Keith Morris. Before I was buying houses in the Bronx I was studying marketing at Bronx Community College — right here in University Heights. I took the D train from Bainbridge every day, walked up that hill to campus, and spent my time in a neighborhood that taught me more about people than any classroom could.

I left BCC to go work at Arista Records. Spent 15 years in the music industry. Walked out as an International Marketing Manager. But University Heights is where that chapter started — where I learned how to read a room, understand an audience, and figure out what people actually need instead of what they say they want.

Those skills didn’t stay in the music business. They came with me into real estate. And they’re why I approach every seller in University Heights differently than any national cash buyer ever will.

I got my hair cut on Burnside Avenue for years — back when Jimmy Jazz was still Jimmy Jazz before it became Snipes. I ate at Tu Casa Mofongo that genuinely has no equal in this borough. I celebrated birthdays at Salsa Con Fuego and sat through comedy shows that had the whole room crying laughing. I know Devoe Park. I know Davidson Avenue. I know what these 1-4 family houses near West Fordham Road actually look like when a family has been holding on for thirty years.

I haven’t closed a deal in University Heights yet, not for lack of experience, but because the right numbers and timing haven’t lined up. What I do have is decades of real history in this neighborhood and a process that works across the Bronx: clear numbers, clean paperwork, and a straightforward closing.

University Heights: The Ridge Where the Bronx Meets the Sky

University Heights isn’t just a neighborhood — it’s a plateau. If you’ve ever walked from the Harlem River up toward University Avenue, you know exactly what I’m talking about. You’re looking across the water at Washington Heights, but the vibe over here is different. You’ve got the Gould Memorial Library and the Hall of Fame colonnade sitting up there on the bluff — Stanford White’s work from back in 1899. It’s a National Historic Landmark with some of the most serious architectural bones in the city, but those bones can be heavy to carry when the building starts aging.

I know the logistics of these blocks. If you’re over on the West side of the neighborhood, you’ve got the University Heights Metro-North station right there on West Fordham Road—it’s a straight shot to Grand Central, but the traffic near that bridge is no joke. The 46th Precinct guys are the ones patrolling these hills, and they’ve seen it all. Whether your property is tucked away near the station or sitting higher up the ridge, I understand exactly how the neighborhood moves. I’m not some out-of-town buyer looking at a map; I’m a Bronx local who knows the difference between a house near the Metro-North and one sitting closer to the precinct.

The housing here tells a story of generations. You’ve got the Art Deco walkups and the highest concentration of 1-4 family houses south of West Fordham Road, especially around Devoe Park. These are the blocks where Dominican and Puerto Rican families — the heart of this neighborhood — built their equity on Davidson, Andrews, Sedgwick, and University Avenues.

When the View Isn’t Enough

When a University Heights property is clean, tenant-free, and ready to list, traditional agents can do their job. But most properties that come to us aren’t that. University Heights properties usually come with a “Bronx twist.” Maybe it’s a house that hasn’t been touched since the 70s, or you’re tired of the back-and-forth at 1118 Grand Concourse for Housing Court.

Whether it’s a multi-family near the BCC campus or a row house near Devoe Park, we specialize in the “messy” stuff:

• Housing Court Fatigue: If you’re done being a landlord for non-paying tenants, we take over the entire legal process at 1118 Grand Concourse after closing.
• HPD & DOB Violations: We know the walk to 1775 Grand Concourse all too well. We buy your active violations and stop-work orders exactly as they are.
• Generational Stalls: If the family can’t agree on what to do with a building on Sedgwick, we provide a clean, cash exit that keeps things private and professional.
• Close in 7–14 Days: We use our own capital. No banks, no appraisals, no delays.

You worked hard for that equity. Don’t let a steep hill or a stack of city paperwork stop you from claiming it.

Call or text me directly at 718-503-2233 for a fair, no-obligation cash offer. Let’s get you a clean exit.

Common University Heights Real Estate Challenges We Handle

Non-Paying Tenants and Housing Court Fatigue Multi-family buildings on Davidson Avenue, Andrews Avenue, University Avenue, and Sedgwick Avenue are some of the most common properties we see — occupied by non-paying tenants with Housing Court cases dragging on for months. We buy occupied University Heights properties and take over the entire legal process at Bronx Housing Court at 1118 Grand Concourse after closing. Once we buy it — you are no longer the landlord.

Pre-Foreclosure and Tax Liens Between rising costs, property taxes, and mortgage payments it doesn’t take long for things to spiral. A fast cash sale can pay off your lender before the auction date at 851 Grand Concourse — protecting your credit and letting you walk away with equity instead of nothing. Don’t lose your house when you don’t have to.

HPD, DOB, and ECB Violations City violations in University Heights pile up fast — especially in older prewar buildings with aging systems and decades of deferred maintenance. We buy properties with active HPD judgments, DOB stop work orders, and ECB fines — and resolve all compliance with the Bronx Department of Buildings at 1775 Grand Concourse after you get paid. No expediter needed before closing.

Inherited Multi-Family Properties Many of University Heights’ 1-4 family houses have been in families for two and three generations. When the original owner passes, heirs scatter, carrying costs pile up, and the estate stalls in Bronx Surrogate’s Court. We buy inherited University Heights properties as-is, coordinate with your estate attorney, and handle all ACRIS filings regardless of where the heirs are located.

A Private Sale for Any Situation — No Questions That Aren’t About Your Property

University Heights is 72.6% Hispanic or Latino — predominantly Dominican and Puerto Rican, with growing Ghanaian, Nigerian, and Bangladeshi communities woven throughout. These are working families who came here with nothing and built real equity over decades on Davidson Avenue, Andrews Avenue, University Avenue, and Sedgwick Avenue.

Some of those homeowners are ready to sell. And some of them are afraid to.

Afraid that reaching out to anyone — a bank, an agent, a lawyer — might draw attention to their situation. Afraid that the property they worked their entire life for might slip away because they don’t know who to trust or whether it’s safe to even make a call.

I want to speak directly to those people right now:

You own that property. That equity belongs to you. You earned it.

Selling your house is a private real estate transaction between you and us. We are not the government. We are not ICE. We are not a reporting agency of any kind. We are a local Bronx family business with one job — to get you a fair cash offer and close quietly, quickly, and completely on your terms.

Your personal situation is your business, not ours. We don’t ask questions that aren’t about your property. You worked too hard for that house to walk away from it or abandon it out of fear. Call or text 718-503-2233 directly. No judgment. No unnecessary questions. Just results.

Close on Your Schedule We use our own capital — no banks, no financing contingencies, no appraisal delays. We can close in as little as 7–14 days, or whenever your timeline requires. You pick the date.

We Buy What Others Won’t Most traditional buyers won’t look at occupied buildings, properties with violations, fire-damaged structures, or estate complications. These are exactly the situations we specialize in. The harder the situation, the more value we bring.

You’re a Neighbor — Not a Transaction When you call 718-503-2233 you talk directly to Keith. I know the difference between a Davidson Avenue prewar walkup and a Devoe Park area 1-family that has been in the same family since 1962. I know that the Gould Memorial Library on the BCC campus is one of the most architecturally significant buildings in all of New York City. I know that the University Heights Bridge has connected this neighborhood to Manhattan since 1895. I know that Roberto Clemente State Park sits right on the Harlem River and that the view from University Avenue ridge on a clear day shows you all of Washington Heights across the water. That local knowledge means I can make you a fair, accurate offer within 24 hours.
