Live in California, Florida, or anywhere else, but own a property in Mercer 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 Hamilton.
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 Mercer 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 row house property Tony has bought in Hamilton.
Mercer County, anchored by Trenton, includes Princeton, Hamilton, and Ewing. Trenton row houses (Chambersburg, North Trenton) make up a large share of distressed-property sales.
Mercer County tax rates are 2.5-3.2%; Trenton properties especially have high effective rates relative to value.

Mercer County remote notarization is fully recognized as of 2022 (NJ) and 2022 (NY). Out-of-state sellers can sign closing documents with a notary in their home state, video-witnessed by a remote notary, and the deed records normally. Tony's title company has handled this for sellers in 20+ states.
Hamilton Township is one of the largest municipalities in NJ. Tony buys ranches, capes, and splits across all five sections. The stock runs from 1920s-40s brick and frame capes and twins in the White Horse and Bromley areas near the Trenton line, to 1950s-60s ranches and capes in Mercerville and Yardville, to 1970s-90s colonials and splits in Hamilton Square and Groveville, plus garden condos and 55+ communities near Route 33 and I-195. Oil tanks are still common in the pre-1970 sections.
Hamilton sellers who call Tony are mostly closing out a parent's house or getting off a fixed income. A 1958 Mercerville cape the parents bought new, with the original kitchen, an oil tank by the driveway, and a house full of belongings. Seniors in Yardville downsizing to a 55+ community who want to name the date. Landlords near the Trenton line with a rented twin and a tenant who is behind. Heirs out of state who can't manage a clean-out from a distance. And owners who fell behind on the tax bill and got a tax-sale certificate notice. A listing means a tank sweep, a full inspection, and a buyer whose bank has conditions. Tony gives one number on the phone and closes on the seller's date.
Every Hamilton sale needs the township fire official's smoke detector, carbon monoxide, and fire extinguisher certificate, which Tony's side schedules. Buyers' attorneys routinely require an underground oil tank sweep on the older houses — Tony buys with the tank in the ground and handles removal after closing. The seller pays the NJ Realty Transfer Fee (about 1% on most sales, reduced for senior and disabled owners on a principal residence). Tax-sale certificates are redeemed from proceeds at closing and tenant leases transfer to Tony. No lender, so no appraisal or repair 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.
