Situations We Buy Houses In
Every sale has a reason behind it, and New Jersey has specific rules for most of them: the Surrogate for estates, the Chancery Division for foreclosures, the Anti-Eviction Act for tenants, the tax collector for liens. Choose the guide that fits.
🔒 Free and no obligation.
When Something Has Changed
These eight guides cover the circumstances that most often lead an owner to want a sale with a fixed date and no preparation.
Facing Foreclosure
Court steps, auction dates and the ten-business-day cancellation right for sellers.
Inherited a House
Letters from the Surrogate, inheritance tax classes, the L-9 waiver and a house still full of belongings.
Needs Major Repairs
Oil tanks, old wiring, water damage, open permits: selling without fixing any of it first.
Tired Landlord
Selling an occupied building, with the leases and security deposits passing to the buyer.
Behind on Property Taxes
Tax sale certificates, the 18% interest cap, and the 2024 law on keeping your equity.
Divorce or Separation
Two owners, two attorneys, one clean sale and a number that is easy to divide.
Relocating
Selling from another state, including the nonresident tax payment due at closing.
Downsizing
Leaving a large family home, and the reduced transfer fee rates for sellers 62 and older.
When It Is About the Sale Itself
Some owners have no crisis at all. They want speed, simplicity, certainty or flexibility, and these four guides compare a cash sale with the alternatives on each point.
How Fast Can a Cash Sale Close
Attorney review, title, the alarm certificate and town inspections: what actually sets the date.
Without an Agent or Showings
Listing, selling by owner and selling direct, compared on cost, effort and risk.
When a Sale Falls Through
A buyer's mortgage denial or inspection demands, and what to do next.
Sell Now, Move Later
Settle first, then stay on for a period agreed in writing.
Describe It on the Phone
