Sell My House Fast in East Orange, NJ
East Orange is a city of renters: 69.0% of occupied homes are rented, and 45.4% of all housing units sit in buildings with ten or more apartments. Single-family houses make up 24.1% of the city's housing and two- to four-unit buildings another 26.6%, and I buy both, along with condos in the larger buildings.
I'm Justin Liva. I pay cash for houses as they stand. You don't fix the porch or hire an agent, anything you don't want can stay behind for me to clear out after the sale, and you choose the closing date. If your place is in good shape and you can wait a few months, I'll tell you honestly that listing it will probably bring more.

Situations East Orange owners bring to me
The house needs more work than you want to take on
More than half of East Orange's housing, 55.2%, was built before 1960. I price the house as it is today, fire damage and all if that's what happened, and after closing the repairs are my problem, not yours.
A two-family or three-family you're done managing
About 26.6% of the city's homes are in two- to four-unit buildings. Give me the leases and rents along with the address so I can factor them in, and have an attorney confirm what those leases require of you.
A family house that came to you through an estate
When a parent passes and nobody plans to move into the East Orange house, I can buy once the estate has authority to sell. I've helped a lot of heirs turn a house they didn't want into money for a fresh start.
Inherited a house here?
For an estate sale, the Essex County Surrogate's Court is the office that validates wills and appoints administrators when there is no will.

Selling in East Orange: your questions
Tell me a little about the house and I'll come back with a cash number you can weigh against listing it. There's no pressure and no obligation either way.
Will you buy an East Orange multi-family with tenants still living there?
Yes. A tenant living in the unit doesn't stop me from buying the building. Share the leases and rent amounts with me first, and I'll fold them into how I figure the offer. Ask your lawyer which New Jersey tenant protections apply to your building.
How do you price a house when the East Orange median value is $365,900?
The median is only a reference point. I start with what renovated houses nearby sold for, then subtract repairs, my costs and a workable margin. Zillow has never been inside your house, so it can't tell an original kitchen from a new one.
My East Orange house is among the oldest on the block. Will you still make an offer?
Yes. Roughly a third of the city's homes, 32.1%, were built before 1940, and I expect them to need work. New Jersey also requires a smoke and carbon monoxide alarm certificate when a one- or two-family home is resold, so ask your attorney or the town how that gets handled in your sale.
Do you buy condos in East Orange's apartment buildings?
I do. Buildings with ten or more units hold 45.4% of East Orange's housing, and I buy condos in them as well as houses. Send me the unit, the monthly association fee and anything you know about the building, and I'll work out a number.
