How are back property taxes paid when I sell to Tony?
The title company pays them at closing out of the sale proceeds. You don't bring a check. The county gets paid, the lien is released, and the Brick property transfers free and clear.
Behind on Property Taxes in Brick, NJ? Tony Buys Your House for Cash
Owe back property taxes in Ocean County? Tony's title company pays them off at closing — out of the cash proceeds. You don't bring a check. The New Jersey tax-foreclosure clock stops the day Tony closes.
Falling behind on property taxes happens to good people during hard years. Medical bills. Job loss. A spouse passing. Then the letters from the county pile up and the next tax bill comes before the last one is paid. You're not stuck. Tony has bought hundreds of Brick-area properties with back taxes, and most sellers walk away with cash on top of the payoff.

Ocean County Market Context
Ocean County is shore-heavy: Toms River, Brick, Lakewood, Long Beach Island. Sandy-era rebuilds, 55+ communities (Holiday City, Silver Ridge), and Lakewood multi-family expansion are all common.
Ocean County tax rates are 2.0-2.5%; shore-property assessments often lag actual market values.

How Behind on Property Taxes Works in Brick
Many Brick sellers behind on taxes don't realize they likely have equity above the back-tax balance. A house worth $300K with $25K in back taxes still has $275K of equity (minus any mortgage). Tony's offer captures that for you. Letting it go to tax-lien sale typically zeroes that out.
Brick Neighborhoods
Brick Township ranches and Cape Cods, especially ones still rebuilding from Sandy, are common Tony purchases. As-is means as-is — even if the basement still floods. The stock is 1950s-70s ranches and capes on the lagoons and along the Metedeconk and Barnegat Bay in Shore Acres, Baywood, and Cherry Quay; 1960s-80s splits and colonials inland in Herbertsville, Laurelton, and Cedarbridge; the Greenbriar 55+ communities; and bungalows and raised rebuilds on the barrier island in Brick Beach and Normandy Beach. Oil tanks and septic systems are still common in the older sections.

Selling a House in Brick: What Tony Already Knows
Brick owners call Tony holding lagoon houses and family houses. The lagoon house in Shore Acres or Baywood took four feet of water in Sandy, got patched on the ground floor, and has never been raised — and the flood insurance bill has tripled. The family house is a 1964 Laurelton ranch with the original kitchen, an oil tank, and heirs in three states. Add Greenbriar residents downsizing who want to name the date, landlords with a rented cape and a tenant who is behind, and owners who fell behind on the tax bill and got a tax-sale certificate notice. A listing means a flood disclosure, a tank sweep, and a buyer whose bank wants an elevation certificate. Tony gives one number on the phone and closes on the seller's date.

What a Brick closing actually involves
Every Brick sale needs the fire official's smoke detector, carbon monoxide, and fire extinguisher certificate and the township's resale inspection, both scheduled by Tony's side. Buyers' attorneys routinely require an underground oil tank sweep and, on the lagoons and the bay, a flood elevation certificate — Tony asks for neither. The seller pays the NJ Realty Transfer Fee (about 1% on most sales, reduced for senior and disabled owners on a principal residence). Greenbriar sales go through the association's resale process, tax-sale certificates are redeemed from proceeds at closing, and incomplete Sandy permits and rebuild grants don't stop a cash closing.
How a Cash Offer on a Brick House Is Actually Built
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.

Questions From Brick Sellers
What if I owe water/sewer arrears too?
Same path. Tony's title company pays municipal water/sewer liens at closing alongside the back taxes. All in one transaction.
Can Tony close before the Brick tax-lien sale?
In most cases, yes. As long as the lien sale isn't in the next 5-7 days, Tony's standard close fits inside the window.
Will I get any cash if the Brick house has back taxes and a mortgage?
Depends on equity. Tony's offer pays mortgage, then back taxes, then liens. Anything left is yours. On most NJ/NY properties with even 10% equity, sellers walk away with thousands.
What if the county already started tax-lien proceedings?
Tony has bought properties mid-proceeding. Until the lien actually sells at auction, the seller can still sell the house. Move fast.
My Brick lagoon house was never raised after Sandy and the basement still floods. Will Tony buy it?
Yes. A Shore Acres, Baywood, or Cherry Quay house that was patched but not elevated is exactly what retail buyers and their lenders walk away from. Tony pays cash, buys it as it stands — flood history, open permits, and all — and doesn't need an elevation certificate or a flood policy. He prices it as-is and the risk becomes his.
Does Tony buy in the Greenbriar 55+ communities in Brick?
Yes. Tony buys in Greenbriar I and II and the other Brick adult communities, including units with original kitchens, association arrears, or an estate still in probate. His attorney handles the association's resale paperwork and the age restriction. You name the closing date and stay in the unit until then.
Does Tony buy in every part of Brick — Herbertsville, Laurelton, Cedarbridge, the lagoons, Brick Beach?
Yes. Tony buys anywhere in 08723 and 08724: Herbertsville and Laurelton splits, Cedarbridge colonials, lagoon ranches in Shore Acres and Baywood, Greenbriar units, and bungalows and rebuilds in Brick Beach and Normandy Beach on the island. If it's inside the township, he'll give you a number on the phone.
My Brick ranch has an underground oil tank and is on septic. Do I need to deal with either before selling?
No. Tony buys with the tank in the ground and the septic as it is — no sweep, no soil test, no septic certification. Those are conditions a lender imposes, and there is no lender. Tony handles tank removal and any septic work after closing, and his number already accounts for it.
Ocean County tax delinquency? 1-908-768-4759. Tony pays the county at closing.
