Can Tony buy my Asbury Park house if foreclosure has already started?
Yes. Tony has stopped foreclosure sales 5 days before the auction date. The earlier you call, the more options exist — but Tony has closed deals at the eleventh hour too.
Most New Jersey sellers in foreclosure don't know this: Tony's offer covers your full mortgage payoff at closing — and you often walk away with cash above what you owe. Tony has stopped Monmouth County-area foreclosures days before the sheriff's sale.
If you're embarrassed to be in this situation, you shouldn't be. Tony has worked with hundreds of Asbury Park-area homeowners facing foreclosure. You're not the first person to make this call, and you won't be the last. Tony doesn't judge, doesn't lecture, and doesn't waste your time.

Most Monmouth County sellers facing foreclosure don't realize Tony's deal pays off the lender automatically — at closing, with title company funds. You don't have to bring a check to the bank. The wire from Tony's title company to your lender happens the same day you sign. Anything above the payoff goes to you.
Asbury Park is a 1890s-1930s resort city that has been through a full cycle: big Victorians and shingle-style houses near Deal Lake and Sunset Lake, many cut into apartments or rooming houses decades ago; 1900s-20s frame two- and three-families and small single-families on the West Side; brick apartment buildings and converted hotels near the waterfront; and post-2005 condos on the redevelopment blocks by the beach. Knob-and-tube, oil tanks, and unpermitted unit counts are common in the older stock. Tony buys the Victorians, the West Side multi-families, and the condos.
Asbury Park owners call Tony because the city changed faster than their building did. Heirs to a West Side two-family the family has held since the 60s, with a tenant on a handshake and a code file at City Hall. Owners of a big Deal Lake Victorian that was cut into five apartments in the 70s without permits, which no bank will lend on. Landlords finished with the lead-safe inspection cycle on a pre-1978 building and a resale inspection that wants new electric. Owners near the redevelopment zones fielding lowball letters every month. And tax-sale certificates sold on houses whose owners left town. A listing means a picky buyer, a lender who wants every unit legal, and months of waiting. Tony gives one number on the phone and closes on the seller's date.
Asbury Park resales go through the city's continued-occupancy inspection and the fire official's smoke, carbon monoxide, and fire extinguisher certificate; Tony's side schedules both and buys with whatever the inspector writes up. The seller pays the NJ Realty Transfer Fee (about 1% on most sales, reduced for senior and disabled owners on a principal residence); on waterfront sales over $1 million the state's mansion tax applies and Tony builds it into his number. Leases and deposits transfer to Tony, tax-sale certificates are redeemed from proceeds at closing, and the blocks nearest the lakes and the ocean sit in flood zones that only a lender cares about.
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.

Drop your number and Tony reaches out about your Asbury Park property within an hour.
Yes. Tony has stopped foreclosure sales 5 days before the auction date. The earlier you call, the more options exist — but Tony has closed deals at the eleventh hour too.
In most cases, yes — if your Asbury Park house has any equity. Tony's offer pays off your mortgage and back taxes first, then the difference goes to you. On a typical NJ or NY property with 10-30% equity, that's $20,000-$80,000 in your pocket instead of vanishing into the foreclosure process.
Tony works with your lender on a short sale. Lenders often agree because Tony's deal is faster and more certain than waiting for sheriff's sale. You walk away with no continuing debt — much better than the foreclosure outcome.
The title company gets a payoff statement from your lender. At closing, Tony's wire goes to the title company; the title company sends your lender exactly what's owed and gives the rest to you. All same day.
Yes, significantly. A foreclosure stays on your credit for 7 years and triggers higher rates on future credit. Selling — even a short sale — has a much smaller credit impact and lets you start rebuilding immediately.
Both, and everything between. Tony buys anywhere in 07712: West Side two- and three-families off Springwood Avenue, Victorians by Deal Lake and Sunset Lake, apartment buildings near Main Street, and condos on the waterfront redevelopment blocks. If it's inside the city, he'll give you a number on the phone.
Yes. A house with more units than the certificate of occupancy shows is one of the main reasons banks refuse to lend in Asbury Park. Tony pays cash, buys the building with the tenants and the paperwork as they are, and deals with the zoning and code office after closing. The offer doesn't change because of it.
Yes, with every tenant staying. Their leases — written or handshake — transfer to Tony at closing and he takes over as landlord, including a tenant who is behind. You don't serve notices or wait for a vacancy. Tell him the unit count and what each pays and he'll quote one number for the building.
On a renovated condo by the beach, a broker will get you more. On a Victorian full of unpermitted units, a West Side two-family with a tenant who doesn't pay, or a house with knob-and-tube and an oil tank, retail buyers discount hard and their lenders walk. Tony's number competes with your real net after commission, repairs, and months of carrying costs — and it closes in days.
Every day matters now. Call 1-908-768-4759. Tony stops Monmouth County foreclosures and pays you the difference.
