We Buy New Jersey HousesAs-Is. No CO Repairs.
North Jersey is where House Hack started: the 1920s two-family in Passaic, the split-level in Bergen the parents left behind, the house the town will not issue a certificate of occupancy on until somebody spends money it does not have. We buy all of it, as-is, with our own crews.
Where We Buy In New Jersey
Anywhere in the state. North Jersey is home and where most of our purchases are.
New Jersey has the oldest housing stock we work in. A lot of it was built before 1940 and has been patched, not renovated, ever since: knob-and-tube behind the plaster, a boiler older than the owner, a roof on its third layer. Towns know this, which is why so many of them require a certificate of occupancy or a resale inspection before a house can change hands.
That inspection is the moment most owners get stuck. The town hands over a list, the list costs real money, and the house cannot sell until it is done. We buy the house before the list is done. Our crews are based here, we do this work for a living, and we deal with the town after closing.
What We Buy In New Jersey
Written to the situation, because that is what decides the right move.
Houses that will not pass the CO
Open permits, an addition nobody pulled a permit for, an electrical service the inspector flagged. We buy it as-is and take the list.
Inherited houses
The parents' house, siblings in three states, decades of belongings, an estate attorney waiting on a tax waiver. We close when the estate is ready.
Old two- and three-families
Passaic, Hudson, Essex, Bergen. Tenants in place, rents that never kept up, a boiler on borrowed time. We buy with the tenants in place.
Underground oil tanks
An old tank in the yard, or one nobody can find paperwork on. Buyers with a mortgage walk away. We do not. Tell us what you know and we price from there.
Behind on taxes or a mortgage
A sale pays off what is owed at closing and leaves the rest with you. We tell you exactly what a sale leaves you with before you decide anything.
Lots and land
An infill lot in a North Jersey town, or acreage in Warren or Sussex. We check zoning and what can be built before we make a number.
How New Jersey Is Different
Three things we check on every New Jersey property before we call you back.
- The town's resale rules. Every municipality is different. Some require a full CO, some a fire-and-smoke certificate, some nothing. We look up your town before the call.
- What is on title. Old mortgages that were never discharged, municipal liens, a judgment from years ago. Our title company finds them; the payoffs clear at closing.
- Estate paperwork. If the owner has passed, the estate needs the right documents before a deed can record. We know which ones and we help the executor get them.
Based Here, Buying Here
A North Jersey team with its own construction crews, not a franchise call center.
- Our own crews. Two renovation crews working in Bergen, Passaic and Hudson every week. What we buy, we rebuild.
- Attorney and title, handled. New Jersey closings run through an attorney and a title company. We bring both; you can bring your own attorney if you prefer.
- One number, answered. Call or text (727) 613-0241 — it rings our team, not a phone tree.

We Actually Buy
A local buying company — not a lead reseller, not a franchise call center.
- Our own money, our own crews. 7+ years and 40+ houses and lots bought with our own funds — then renovated by our own construction team.
- A real number, in writing. We price off actual local sales and bring a written offer, usually within a day of seeing the property.
- Land too. Vacant lots, acreage, and houses with extra land are our specialty — most buyers won't touch them; we build on them.
- Local and reachable. Tampa headquarters, a real phone line, and a team that answers it.

New Jersey Questions
What New Jersey owners ask us before they decide anything.
My town requires a certificate of occupancy to sell. The house will not pass. Can you still buy it?
Yes. Many North Jersey towns require a CO or a resale inspection, and the repair list can be long — smoke detectors are easy, but a new roof or an electrical service is not. When we buy, we take the property as-is and handle the town's requirements ourselves after closing. You do not do the repairs.
Do you buy two-families and three-families?
Yes. Older multi-family houses in Passaic, Hudson, Essex and Bergen counties are a large part of what we buy, with or without tenants in place. We do not need the units vacant.
We inherited the house and there are several of us on it. How does that work?
We work with the executor or administrator and the estate attorney. New Jersey estates have their own paperwork, including the state tax waiver that has to clear before a deed can record, and our title company handles it every week. We close when the estate is ready.
Do you charge anything or ask me to pay for repairs?
No. We are the buyer. There is no fee to hear the offer, no commission, and no repair you have to make. We pay the closing costs. Anyone who asks an owner to pay them for help selling is not doing what we do.
Which parts of New Jersey do you buy in?
Anywhere in the state, with North Jersey first: Bergen, Passaic, Hudson, Essex, Morris, Warren and Sussex counties. We also buy in Union, Middlesex and Monmouth, and we will look at a property anywhere in New Jersey if the owner wants a direct sale.
How fast can you close in New Jersey?
New Jersey closings run through an attorney and a title company. When title is clean and the town's paperwork is in order, a few weeks. You choose the date; if you need longer to move, we close later.
Rather Just Talk To A Person?
Call or text — a real local team member answers, not a phone tree. No obligation, no pressure, and if our number doesn't work for you, we part as friends.
