"As-is" with most buyers means "until the inspector finds something." With Tony in Bloomfield, as-is means as-is — no inspection, no repair credits, no last-minute price drop. Same number on the phone, same number at the Essex County closing.
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.

What "as-is" actually saves you: roof replacement ($8-15K), HVAC ($5-10K), kitchen update ($15-30K), bathroom update ($8-15K), foundation work ($10-30K), mold remediation ($3-8K). Tony absorbs all of it because Tony's the one doing the work after closing. Your Bloomfield house gets sold in the condition you've been living with.
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.

Contact
Drop your number and Tony reaches out about your Bloomfield property within an hour.
Correct. The number Tony quotes you on the phone is the number you walk away with. No inspection, no repair list, no credit deductions, no "after we got a closer look" surprises. As-is means as-is.
Tony buys it. Cracked foundations, settled walls, fire-damaged kitchens, flooded basements, mold throughout — all of it has been bought before. The offer reflects condition; the deal still happens.
Yes. Furniture, clothing, garbage, food in the fridge, the broken washer in the basement, the car in the driveway. Tony hauls it after closing. You don't lift a finger.
Knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized pipes, fuse boxes, ungrounded outlets — Tony has bought Bloomfield-area houses with all of these. They're priced into the offer; they don't kill the deal.
Tony's offer reflects what it'll take to make the property re-sellable, plus a return. It's transparent. The cheaper your house is to fix, the better your offer. The worse the condition, the lower the offer — but the deal still happens.
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.
Don't fix a thing. Call Tony at 1-908-768-4759. Cash for your Bloomfield house exactly as it sits.
