How much commission do I save by selling my Toms River house to Tony directly?
5-6% of sale price. On a $300K Toms River house, that's $15,000-$18,000. On a $500K, $25,000-$30,000. You keep all of it.
Real estate agents charge 5-6% commission. On a typical Ocean County sale that's $20,000-$40,000 gone before you see a dime. Tony charges nothing. The cash quote is the cash you keep on your Toms River property.

The kind of shore bungalow property Tony has bought in Toms River.
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.

Why do agents in Toms River push for a price reduction after 30 days on the market? Because their job is to close — yours or someone else's. Their commission is the same whether your house sells for $400K or $375K. Tony's offer is direct; there's no agent incentive working against you.
Toms River has both family homes and large 55+ communities. Tony buys both — including units in Holiday City and Silver Ridge Park. The mainland stock is 1950s-70s ranches and capes in the older grid near downtown and Silverton, 1970s-90s colonials and bi-levels in North Dover and Pleasant Plains, and thousands of ranch units in Holiday City and Silver Ridge Park; along the river and bay in Silverton, Shelter Cove, and Ortley Beach it's shore bungalows and raised Sandy rebuilds. Oil tanks are common in the pre-1975 sections, and some houses are still on septic.
Toms River owners call Tony for the shore reasons and the 55+ reasons. On the water, it's a Silverton or Ortley Beach house that took Sandy, was patched rather than raised, and now carries flood insurance the owner can't justify. In Holiday City and Silver Ridge Park, it's heirs settling a parent's ranch full of belongings, or a widow moving to be near family who wants to name the date. On the mainland grid, it's a 1962 cape with the original kitchen and an oil tank, a landlord with a tenant who is behind, or a tax-sale certificate that was sold while the family dealt with a hospital. A listing means a tank sweep, a flood disclosure, and a lender with conditions. Tony gives one number on the phone and closes on the seller's date.
Every Toms River sale needs the fire official's smoke detector, carbon monoxide, and fire extinguisher certificate plus the township's resale inspection, both scheduled by Tony's side. Buyers' attorneys here routinely require an underground oil tank sweep and, on the water, a flood elevation certificate — Tony asks for neither because he pays cash. The seller pays the NJ Realty Transfer Fee (about 1% on most sales, reduced for senior and disabled owners on a principal residence). 55+ community sales go through the association's resale process, tax-sale certificates are redeemed from proceeds at closing, and Sandy rebuild paperwork doesn't have to be complete.
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.

Tony is the buyer. There's no buyer to find — you're calling the buyer directly. No MLS, no Zillow listing, no showings.
MLS exposure is how agents find buyers. Tony doesn't need it because Tony already has cash and is already the buyer. The whole reason for MLS evaporates.
Sometimes a tiny bit less, sometimes more. The commission savings often more than offset any difference. And if your Toms River house needs work, has a complication, or just needs to sell fast — the agent route nets you less in the end.
No listing agreement. No exclusivity. No "right to sell." You call, Tony makes an offer, you decide. If you say no, you owe nothing — there's no contract until you sign one at closing.
Yes. Tony buys in every Toms River adult community — Holiday City, Silver Ridge Park, and the rest — 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. Leave the furniture; he clears it after closing.
Yes. A Silverton, Shelter Cove, or Ortley Beach house that was fixed but not elevated is exactly what retail buyers and their lenders walk away from — they want the elevation certificate, the flood policy quote, and the work finished. Tony pays cash, buys it as it stands, and the flood risk becomes his.
Yes. Tony buys anywhere in 08753, 08755, and 08757: Silverton and Shelter Cove waterfront houses, North Dover and Pleasant Plains colonials, capes near downtown, Ortley Beach bungalows and rebuilds, and the 55+ communities. If it's inside the township, he'll give you a number on the phone.
Not for Tony. He buys with the tank in the ground and the septic as it is — no sweep, no soil test, no septic certification. Those are lender requirements, and there is no lender. Tony handles tank removal and any septic work after closing, and his number already accounts for it.
Save $20K+ on a typical Ocean County sale. Call Tony at 1-908-768-4759 — direct buyer, no agent.
