How long does it take to get a cash offer on my Linden house from Tony?
Usually 10-15 minutes from the start of the phone call. Tony pulls public records and comps while you're on the line.
Most "cash offer" sites in Union County send your info to a network and then five buyers cold-call you for a week. Tony just gives you the number on the phone. One call, one offer, your decision.

Union County is dense urban-suburban: Elizabeth, Plainfield, Union, Linden. Two-family and three-family housing stock is common.

How Tony's Linden cash offer is calculated: recent comparable sales in Union County, the rough condition you describe over the phone, and the speed you need. That's the whole formula. Transparent, defensible, and the same number you'll see at the Union County closing table.
Linden is a 1920s-1950s working town: brick and frame capes, colonials, and two-families on tight lots around Wood Avenue and the train station, 1940s-50s brick capes and ranches in Sunnyside near the Rahway line, and older frame two-families near the Elizabeth border and along Route 1. The blocks toward Tremley Point back onto industry and the Arthur Kill. Oil tanks, original kitchens, and finished basements from the 60s are the norm. Tony buys the capes, the two-families, and the houses next to the refinery that retail buyers drive past.
Linden sellers who call Tony are mostly closing out family houses: the parents bought a brick cape in Sunnyside in 1952, it has the original kitchen and an oil tank by the driveway, and the heirs want a clean end without a clean-out. Landlords near Wood Avenue with a two-family, a tenant behind on rent, a lead-safe inspection due, and a Certificate of Continued Occupancy that wants new electric. Owners near the refinery and Tremley Point whose houses show badly to retail buyers no matter what they do. And tax-sale certificates sold while a family was dealing with a hospital bill. Tony gives one number on the phone and closes on the seller's date.
Linden 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 as-is. Underground oil tanks are common and Tony buys with the tank in the ground. The seller pays the NJ Realty Transfer Fee (about 1% on most sales, with the senior and disabled reduction on a principal residence). Tax-sale certificates and sewer arrears are paid from proceeds at closing; 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.

It's a firm number. If you accept, that's the closing number. The offer doesn't drop after a "second look" because there is no second look — Tony already considered everything based on your description.
Often, yes. Compare Tony's offer to two or three others. The lowball ones will be obvious. The better national buyers will be in the same range as Tony — but only Tony's offer is from the actual person who'll close it.
Tell him. Tony has room to move within reason if you've got information about the property he didn't have. The first number isn't always the final number — but it's the honest starting place.
Zero. The call is free. The offer is free. No paperwork, no agreements, no obligation. Hang up if you don't like the number.
Cash buyers, Tony included, typically land around 70-85% of what the house would sell for fully renovated, minus the repairs it actually needs. Compare that to your real net from a Linden listing — after a 5-6% commission, inspection repair credits, and months of carrying costs — and the gap is usually much smaller than it first looks. Tony gives you the exact number on the call so you can do that math yourself.
Yes. Tony buys anywhere in 07036: Sunnyside brick capes near the Rahway line, two-families around Wood Avenue and the station, houses along Route 1 and the Elizabeth border, and the blocks toward Tremley Point that back onto industry. If it's inside Linden, he'll give you a number on the phone.
Yes. Linden's Certificate of Continued Occupancy stalls bank-financed sales because the lender wants the corrections done before closing. Tony pays cash, buys the house as-is, and takes care of the CCO items after the sale. His number already accounts for the work, so nothing comes out of your pocket.
No. Tony buys with the tank in place — in use, abandoned in place, or leaking — and handles removal and any cleanup after closing. Retail buyers and their banks want a sweep, a soil test, and a removal certificate before closing; Tony wants none of that.
No. Tony buys the house with everything in it — furniture, the basement, the garage — and clears it after closing. He can work with the estate's executor during probate and close about a week after clear title. Heirs who live out of state can sign by mail.
