Kearny homes I buy, and why owners sell them
A single-family nobody has updated
Just over a third of Kearny homes are single-family. If yours needs a new kitchen, new baths and new systems, I can buy it without you lifting a hammer or hiring a contractor.
An inherited two-family
With 42.3% of homes in 2-4 unit buildings and 57.1% rented, an inherited Kearny property may come with tenants. If you'd rather have the cash than the landlord duties, I'll buy it with those tenants still living there.
Old houses with old problems
Nearly four in ten Kearny homes were built before 1940. Settling foundations, aging roofs and outdated electrical are the kinds of issues I expect and price for.
Hudson County has been my home for about 20 years. Kearny sits across the Hackensack River from Jersey City and Secaucus.
Inherited a house here?
An executor selling a Kearny house starts at the Hudson County Surrogate's Court, which admits wills to probate and grants letters of administration.

Selling in Kearny: your questions
Give me a few details about your Kearny home and I'll put together a free offer. You're under no obligation.
Do you buy Kearny houses with original plumbing and wiring?
Yes. The median Kearny home was built in 1951, and I account for replacing old systems in my offer, so you don't have to.
Kearny's median rent is $1,720. Should I keep renting out my two-family or sell it?
That's your decision, and an accountant can help you weigh the tax side. What I can give you is a real cash number, so you're comparing a real offer against the rent you collect.
What if my Kearny house is already in good shape?
Then you may not need me. With a median value of $459,400 and only 4.0% of units vacant, a well-kept house should draw buyers on the open market, and I'll tell you that plainly.
Do I need to clear out a Kearny house before you buy it?
No. Take anything you want and leave the rest where it is. After the sale, the cleanout is my job, attic to basement.
