Live in California, Florida, or anywhere else, but own a property in Essex County? Tony makes a cash offer over the phone and closes the entire New Jersey transaction remotely. You sign with a notary in your home state and never set foot in Bloomfield.
Owning a property thousands of miles away wears on you. Property taxes you can't easily pay. Code letters from a town you don't visit. Tenants or family members or strangers sending updates that don't add up. The flight back to fix one thing turns into three flights. Tony has closed dozens of remote sales for owners living out of state. You don't fly back. Tony handles everything from this end.
Distance is the silent killer of inherited and absentee properties in Essex County. The longer you own a property you can't easily check on, the worse it gets — taxes pile up, maintenance gets deferred, tenants test the limits. Tony stops the bleed with a cash close that doesn't require you to travel.
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.

Carrying costs on a remote Essex County property add up quickly: property taxes ($4K-$15K/year typical), vacant-home insurance (50-100% premium over occupied), occasional emergency maintenance, and the time/cost of the trips back you have to make. A remote close to Tony stops the meter the day the deed transfers.
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. Call 1-908-768-4759, get the number, and compare it yourself.

Yes. Remote notarization is fully recognized in NJ and NY. You sign with a notary in your home state, the documents are video-witnessed by a remote notary, and the deed records normally.
Wire transfer to your home-state bank account on the closing date. Same day the deed records, the funds hit.
That's most of Tony's out-of-state purchases. Tony's offer is based on public records, recent Bloomfield comps, and your description. Whatever condition the property is in, the offer accounts for it.
Yes. POA documents are accepted at closing. Many out-of-state Bloomfield sellers have a family member or attorney sign as POA for convenience.
Tony's title company pays them at closing from the proceeds. Same with code violations, water/sewer arrears, or any other municipal liens.
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.
Stop carrying a Bloomfield property from across the country. Tony buys it. 1-908-768-4759.
