Frequently asked questions
- What kinds of property do you buy?
- Houses in any condition and vacant land. Many of the houses we buy, we renovate and resell ourselves. If you are not sure whether your property is a fit, call us - it costs nothing to ask.
- What areas do you buy in?
- North Jersey - Essex, Passaic, Bergen, Hudson, Morris and Union counties. We are based in Bloomfield.
- Do I need to fix up or clean out the house first?
- No. We buy as-is. You do not need to repair, paint, clean or stage anything, and furniture or belongings you do not want can stay.
- Are there any fees?
- No. The offer is free, there is no charge for us to look at the property, there is no agent commission, and you are under no obligation to accept.
- How quickly can you close?
- Quickly. Because we pay cash, we are not waiting on a lender's approval or appraisal, so we can close as soon as the title work is done. If you need more time, that is fine - you pick the date.
- I still owe money on the house. Can I still sell to you?
- Yes. Selling a house with a mortgage on it is normal. The loan is paid off from the sale proceeds at closing through the title company, just like in any other sale.
- Do I have to accept your offer?
- No. The offer is yours to accept, negotiate or turn down. Nothing is signed until you decide to sign it, and saying no costs you nothing.
- Do I have to agree to text messages to contact you?
- No. The text message checkboxes on our contact form are completely optional, and the form sends whether you tick them or not. You can also just call or email us.
