Selling a parent's house is hard. The belongings, the memories, the siblings who all want different things. There's no rush to sort through their things. You don't have to do that to move forward. Take what's sentimental, leave the rest, walk.
Inheriting a Union, New Jersey house is rarely a windfall. It's belongings to sort, siblings to align, taxes piling up, and a property in Union County that's two states away from where you live. Tony buys inherited houses cash, as-is, full of stuff, with the family figuring out the split later.
The kind of two family property Tony has bought in Union.
Union County is dense urban-suburban: Elizabeth, Plainfield, Union, Linden. Two-family and three-family housing stock is common.
Union County tax rates are 2.5-3.2%; Elizabeth and Plainfield are at the higher end.

Union County probate timelines vary by county and complexity. Simple estates can move in 4-6 months; contested ones take a year or more. Tony works at any stage: pre-probate (with an executor), in probate (with court approval), or post-probate (clean title). Most Union inherited deals close while the estate is still open.
Union Township is 1920s-1950s single-family suburbia: brick and frame capes, colonials, and split-levels in Battle Hill, Putnam Manor, and Larchmont; tighter 1920s-40s two-families and small colonials in Vauxhall near the Millburn line; and garden condos and apartments along Morris Avenue and Route 22. Most houses are on their first or second kitchen, a lot still have oil tanks, and finished basements from the 60s are common. Tony buys the capes, the splits, the Vauxhall two-families, and the condos.
Union sellers who call Tony are almost always families closing a chapter. The parents bought a Battle Hill cape in 1955, kept it perfect for fifty years, and now the heirs are spread across three states with a house full of belongings and an oil tank they just learned about. Seniors downsizing who want to pick their own moving date. Vauxhall landlords with a two-family, a tenant who is behind, a lead-safe inspection due, and a resale inspection that wants new electric. Owners who fell behind on a Union County tax bill and got a tax-sale certificate notice. A listing means a tank sweep, a full inspection, and a bank with conditions. Tony gives one number on the phone and closes on the seller's date.
Union Township resales go through the township's continued-occupancy inspection and 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 in the older sections and Tony buys with the tank in place. The seller pays the NJ Realty Transfer Fee (about 1% on most sales, reduced for senior and disabled owners on a principal residence). Tax-sale certificates are redeemed from proceeds at closing and tenant leases transfer to Tony. Standard three-business-day NJ attorney review; no lender, so no appraisal.
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 Union property within an hour.
In most cases, yes. The executor or administrator (with court authority) can sign. Tony's title company handles the documentation. Many Union inherited deals close before probate fully concludes.
Tony makes one offer; the title company splits proceeds per the estate documents or your written agreement. Heirs can be in different states, different countries — sign remotely with a notary or e-sign service. Union County title companies handle this routinely.
Yes. Take what's sentimental — photo albums, jewelry, anything that matters. Leave the rest. Tony's crew clears the property after closing. You don't have to spend weekends sorting through a lifetime of stuff.
Tony's title company pays them at closing out of the proceeds. Same with utility bills, HOA dues, lien notices. You walk away clean.
If the estate is straightforward, often no. If it's contested, complex, or has out-of-state assets, an attorney is wise. Tony works alongside whatever attorney you have or refers you to Union-area probate attorneys when needed.
Yes. Tony buys anywhere in 07083: Battle Hill and Putnam Manor capes and colonials, Larchmont splits, Vauxhall two-families near the Millburn line, and condos along Morris Avenue and Route 22. If it's inside the township, he'll give you a number on the phone.
No. Tony buys the house with the tank in the ground — in use, abandoned, or leaking — and handles removal and any cleanup after closing. Retail buyers and their banks want a sweep, soil test, and removal certificate before closing; Tony asks for none of that, and his number already accounts for it.
Yes. Tony closes on your date and you can stay in the house until the day you've chosen, whether that's next week or two months from now. There are no open houses, no strangers walking through, and no clean-out — leave whatever furniture you don't want and he clears it after closing.
Yes. The tenant's lease transfers to Tony at closing and he takes over as landlord, including a tenant who is behind or has no written lease. You don't need to serve notices or wait for a vacancy. Tell him the rent and the situation and he'll quote one number for the house.
Stop sorting the basement. Stop arguing with siblings. Call Tony at 1-908-768-4759 and sell the Union house.
