The kind of row house property Tony has bought in Union City.
Hudson County is dense urban: Jersey City brownstones, Bayonne row houses, Hoboken townhomes, North Bergen multi-families. Co-op and condo transactions are common.
Hudson County tax rates vary widely by municipality — 1.5% in Hoboken, 3.0% in Bayonne. Newer condo developments often have abated rates.

Other Hudson County cash buyers will give you an "estimate" and then send someone to "verify" — and the offer drops. Tony quotes the firm number on the phone. If you accept, that's the closing number. If unexpected title issues come up, the title company handles them; the offer doesn't change.
Union City is the densest city in the country, and the housing is built for it: three- and four-story frame and brick multi-families on 25-foot lots, four- to eight-unit walk-ups, and mixed-use buildings with a store below and apartments above along Bergenline. Most of it dates from 1900 to 1930, a lot of it is vinyl-sided over the original wood, and a large share is occupied by long-term tenants at rent-controlled numbers. Tony buys multi-families, walk-ups, and store-plus-apartment buildings alike.
Union City owners call Tony because a building that made sense for their parents doesn't make sense for them. The family has owned a four-unit on a side street off Bergenline since the 70s; three tenants pay rent-controlled rents, the fourth is an uncle who doesn't pay at all, and the heirs live in Florida and Puerto Rico. Landlords are worn down by the rent leveling office, the state's lead-safe inspection cycle on pre-1978 units, a CCO they can't pass, and code letters about the illegal basement apartment. Tax-sale certificates sit on buildings with owners who stopped opening the mail. A listing means showings around six households and a lender who wants the basement unit gone. Tony gives one number on the phone and closes on the seller's date.
Union City requires a Certificate of Continued Occupancy inspection before a resale, plus the smoke, carbon monoxide, and fire extinguisher certificate — Tony's team schedules both and buys with whatever violations turn up. The seller pays the NJ Realty Transfer Fee (about 1% on most sales, less for senior and disabled owners on a primary residence). Leases, rent-control registrations, and security deposits transfer to Tony at closing, and any tax-sale certificate or water lien is paid from the proceeds at the table. There is no lender, so an illegal unit or an open violation doesn't delay the closing.
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 Union City property within an hour.
Usually 10-15 minutes from the start of the phone call. Tony pulls public records and comps while you're on the line.
It's a firm number. If you accept, that's the closing number. The offer doesn't drop after a "second look" because there is no second look — Tony already considered everything based on your description.
Often, yes. Compare Tony's offer to two or three others. The lowball ones will be obvious. The better national buyers will be in the same range as Tony — but only Tony's offer is from the actual person who'll close it.
Tell him. Tony has room to move within reason if you've got information about the property he didn't have. The first number isn't always the final number — but it's the honest starting place.
Zero. The call is free. The offer is free. No paperwork, no agreements, no obligation. Hang up if you don't like the number.
Cash buyers, Tony included, typically land around 70-85% of what the house would sell for fully renovated, minus the repairs it actually needs. Compare that to your real net from a Union City listing — after a 5-6% commission, inspection repair credits, and months of carrying costs — and the gap is usually much smaller than it first looks. Tony gives you the exact number on the call so you can do that math yourself.
Yes, every one of them stays. Union City rent control follows the building, and Tony becomes the landlord at closing under the same leases and regulated rents. You don't buy anyone out, and you don't wait for a vacancy. Give him the number of units and what each pays and he'll quote one number for the building.
Yes. An unpermitted basement or attic unit is one of the main reasons banks refuse to lend on Union City multi-families. Tony pays cash, buys the building as it is, and deals with the zoning and code office after closing. The offer accounts for it — you don't need to remove the unit or the tenant.
Yes. A store below and apartments above is the classic Bergenline building, and Tony buys them with the commercial tenant and the residential tenants in place. Bring whatever leases exist — even month-to-month arrangements with no paperwork — and he'll quote one number for the entire building.
Yes. The certificate is a lien, not a deed. Tony's title company gets the redemption figure from the holder and pays it from your proceeds at closing. If you've received a foreclosure complaint, call immediately — until a judgment is entered, the house is still yours to sell.
