Can Tony close before my Bloomfield divorce decree deadline?
Almost always. Tony's standard close is 7-14 days. If the decree gives 30 or 60 days, that's plenty of room.
Court-ordered sale on a Essex County house? Tony closes in 7 to 14 days, the title company splits proceeds per the divorce decree, and you don't have to talk to your ex about the price. No agent, no showings, no negotiating with each other.
Divorce is hard enough without a house dragging it out. The agent showings on weekends. The arguments over price reductions. The buyer who backs out. Tony shortens the entire thing to one phone call and a 7-day close. You sell, the title company splits the money per the decree, you both walk.
Tony has closed dozens of Essex County divorce sales. Court-ordered short timelines, contested-price disputes between spouses, situations where one spouse is still living in the house and the other isn't — none of it stops the sale. Tony deals with both spouses through the closing attorney.

The kind of two family property Tony has bought in Bloomfield.
Essex County, anchored by Newark, is heavy on multi-family housing — two-families, three-families, four-families. East Orange and Irvington sellers often own occupied multi-units.
Newark and East Orange tax rates are 2.5-3.5% of assessed value; tax-delinquency is common and Tony's title company handles back-tax payoff routinely.

If the Bloomfield divorce is contentious and the spouses can't agree on a price, Tony's offer is often acceptable to a judge as a fair-market cash exit, especially when listing has been tried unsuccessfully. Tony's title company has worked with NJ and NY family-law attorneys on dozens of these.
Bloomfield is a 1910s-1930s town: foursquares, Dutch colonials, and center-hall colonials in Brookdale and Oak View, brick two-families and small apartment buildings around Bloomfield Center and along Broad Street, and tight-lot frame two-families in Watsessing near the East Orange line. Most of it still has plaster walls, steam radiators, and a share of underground oil tanks. Tony buys the single-families, the two-families, and the apartment buildings.
Bloomfield owners come to Tony from two directions. The first is the family house: a Brookdale colonial the parents bought in the 60s, now with a leaking slate roof, an oil tank the neighbors keep mentioning, and four heirs who don't agree. The second is the tired landlord: a Watsessing two-family with a tenant who hasn't paid since 2021, a lead-safe inspection due, and a resale inspection that won't pass without a new electrical panel. Add a tax-sale certificate or a property-tax bill that has crept past what the house earns, and a slow retail sale stops making sense. Tony gives one number on the phone and closes on the seller's date.
Bloomfield resales need the township's continued-occupancy inspection and the fire department's smoke, carbon monoxide, and fire extinguisher certificate; Tony's side schedules both and buys regardless of the findings. Underground oil tanks are common on the older streets and Tony buys with the tank in place. The seller pays the NJ Realty Transfer Fee (about 1% of the price on most sales, reduced for senior and disabled owners on a principal residence). Any tax-sale certificate or sewer arrears are redeemed from the proceeds at closing. Cash, so no appraisal or lender conditions.
Every cash buyer, Tony included, starts from the same three numbers: what the house would sell for fully renovated, what it costs to get it there, and how long that takes. The offer is that finished value minus the repairs, minus the buyer's resale costs and margin. In practice that lands most cash offers somewhere around 70–85% of the renovated value, less repairs. The honest comparison is not against a renovated house's list price — it is against what you would actually net from a NJ listing after commission, repairs, and months of carrying costs.
| Line item | List with an agent | Sell to Tony |
|---|---|---|
| What the house would sell for fully renovated | $400,000 | $400,000 |
| Repairs a retail buyer's lender will demand | − $45,000 | Tony's problem |
| Agent commission (5–6%) | − $20,000 to $24,000 | $0 |
| Inspection credits, seller closing costs, concessions | − $8,000 to $12,000 | $0 |
| Taxes, insurance, mortgage, utilities while you wait (3–6 months) | − $9,000 to $15,000 | $0 |
| Time to cash in hand | 4 to 7 months | 7 to 14 days |
| What you actually walk away with | ≈ $305,000 to $318,000 | Tony's number, in full, on your date |
Whether Tony's number beats that listing net depends on the house. On a move-in-ready home in a hot NJmarket it usually will not, and Tony will tell you to list. On a house that needs work, has tenants, sits in an estate, or carries violations — the houses retail buyers cannot finance — it is often close, and the seven-day timeline is the difference.

Almost always. Tony's standard close is 7-14 days. If the decree gives 30 or 60 days, that's plenty of room.
Tony's offer is fair-market cash. Many spouses use Tony's number as the neutral fact that resolves the dispute. If one spouse refuses to sign, that's a court issue, not Tony's.
Yes. The title company follows the decree's instructions exactly. Both spouses get separate wires per the agreed split.
No. NJ and NY remote notarization makes it routine to sign separately. Most Bloomfield divorce sellers don't see each other through the entire closing.
Tony buys it occupied if the spouses agree. Or the move-out can be timed to the closing date. Both work.
Yes. Tony buys anywhere in 07003: Brookdale colonials near the park, Oak View and Halcyon Park foursquares, apartment buildings and two-families around Bloomfield Center and Broad Street, and Watsessing frames near the East Orange line. If it's inside Bloomfield, he'll give you a number on the phone.
Yes. A non-paying tenant is one of the most common reasons Bloomfield landlords call. Tony buys the building with the tenant in place, takes over the lease and the landlord-tenant process at closing, and doesn't ask you to evict first. Tell him what the unit was supposed to pay and how long it's been.
Not for Tony. Buried tanks kill bank-financed deals because lenders want them swept, tested, and removed before closing. Tony buys with the tank in the ground and handles removal and any cleanup after the sale. You don't pay for a sweep or a soil test.
As soon as the estate paperwork allows — typically about a week from a clear title. Leave the furniture, the boxes, and whatever is in the attic; Tony buys the house with everything in it and clears it after closing. If there are heirs out of state, the closing can be done by mail with a notary.
