Reasons Rutherford owners choose a cash sale
A prewar house that needs everything
With 42.8% of homes predating 1940, yours may still run on original systems. Updating a house that old can run well past what an owner expects, and I'll take that risk on instead of you.
A two-family with long-term tenants
Two- to four-unit buildings are 21.2% of Rutherford's housing. If you own one and you're ready to stop managing it, I'll buy it with the tenants still in their units and account for their leases in my offer.
An estate with a deadline
An estate with several heirs may need to split the proceeds. A cash sale on a fixed date can make that simpler, and nobody has to empty the house first, because I handle the cleanout after closing.
I grew up in Bergen County, and of the Bergen towns I buy in, Rutherford has the largest share of prewar housing, at 42.8%.
Inherited a house here?
Probating a will or administering an estate in Bergen County goes through the Bergen County Surrogate's Court, and I can line up a Rutherford closing with that court's schedule.

How old does a Rutherford house have to be before you'd buy it?
There's no cutoff. Age matters less than condition, since I rarely buy houses in great shape whatever year they went up. That said, 77.2% of Rutherford housing was built before 1960, so older homes are most of what's here.
Rutherford's median value is $603,600. Is that what I should expect?
Only if your house is in typical condition for the town. A house that needs a full gut is worth noticeably less as it stands. Sellers often price off a renovated sale nearby and forget the cost of getting there.
Can I sell a Rutherford two-family to you while I still live in one unit?
Yes. Two-families are a real part of the housing here, with 21.2% of homes in 2-4 unit buildings. We'll set the closing so you have time to move out of your unit.
Is a Rutherford house too far gone if no one can live in it?
No. I buy houses in any condition, unlivable and fire-damaged ones among them. The repair bill goes into my offer, and you don't have to fix anything first.
