Live in California, Florida, or anywhere else, but own a property in Passaic 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 Passaic.
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 Passaic 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 two family property Tony has bought in Passaic.
Passaic County, anchored by Paterson and Clifton, is dense urban with extensive two-family and three-family housing stock from the early 1900s.
Paterson tax rates are 3.0-3.8% of assessed value, among the highest in NJ.

Common situations Tony handles for out-of-state owners with Passaic 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.
Passaic is dense pre-war stock: 1900s-1920s frame two- and three-families with vinyl or asphalt siding on narrow lots, brick four- to twelve-unit walk-ups along Main Avenue and Broadway, and Passaic Park's larger 1910s-30s single-families, Tudors, and apartment buildings near Third Ward Park, many now owned by large Orthodox families. A lot of the multi-family stock is tenant-occupied under the city's rent control and shows its age in the wiring and the roofs. Tony buys the multi-families, the walk-ups, and the Passaic Park houses.
Passaic owners call Tony when a building has more problems than tenants. A three-family off Main Avenue inherited from a parent, with two rent-controlled tenants and a third floor the city says can't be occupied. A landlord finished with lead-safe inspections on a pre-1978 building, the rent leveling office, and a Certificate of Continued Occupancy that keeps failing on the electric. A Dundee or riverside house that took water in Irene and Ida. A tax-sale certificate sold on a building whose owner moved away and stopped opening the mail. A listing means showings around six households and a lender who wants every violation cleared first. Tony gives one number on the phone and closes on the seller's date.
Passaic requires a Certificate of Continued Occupancy inspection before a resale, along with the fire department's smoke, carbon monoxide, and fire extinguisher certificate — Tony's side schedules both and buys with whatever the inspector finds. 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 deposits transfer to Tony; tax-sale certificates and water liens are paid from proceeds at closing. Blocks near the river are in a flood zone, which only matters to a lender, and there is no lender.
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 Passaic 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 Passaic 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 Passaic 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, with every tenant staying. Passaic's rent control follows the building, and Tony takes over as landlord at closing under the same leases and regulated rents. You don't buy anyone out or wait for a vacancy. Give him the unit count and what each actually pays and he'll quote one number for the building.
All of 07055. Tony buys Passaic Park single-families and apartment buildings near Third Ward Park, Main Avenue and Broadway walk-ups, Dundee and riverside two-families, and everything around Monroe Street. Big houses and small ones, occupied and vacant — same process, one number on the phone.
Yes. A failed Certificate of Continued Occupancy stops a bank-financed buyer because the lender wants the corrections done before closing. Tony pays cash, buys the building as-is, and takes care of the CCO items after the sale. His number already accounts for that work — nothing comes out of your pocket.
No, not until a court enters a foreclosure judgment. Tony's title company gets the redemption figure from the certificate holder and pays it from your proceeds at closing, and you keep the balance. If you've already been served with a foreclosure complaint, call the same day — there's still time, but not a lot of it.
