Live in California, Florida, or anywhere else, but own a property in Hudson 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 Union City.
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.
Tony's standard out-of-state closing process for Hudson County properties: cash offer call (you stay where you are), title work and contract signing via remote notary in your home state, wire-transfer of proceeds to your home-state bank account. Total time: 7-14 days from first call.
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.

Common situations Tony handles for out-of-state owners with Union City properties: an inherited family home thousands of miles from where the heir now lives, a former primary residence after a job relocation, a rental property the owner has been managing remotely for years and is done with, a divorce sale where one spouse already moved out of state, and an investment property the owner has never lived in.
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.
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 Union City 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 Union City 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, 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.
