Trenton sellers I can help
Behind on the mortgage
When payments have slipped, time matters. I close on the timeline you set, and if you want to see the other options first, start here.
Old houses, big repair bills
38.1% of Trenton's housing was built before 1940 and 60.0% before 1960. Trenton houses in any condition are on my list, fire-damaged and unlivable ones included.
Landlords who want out
14.7% of the city's housing is in two-to-four-unit buildings. I buy them with the tenants still living there; ask a landlord-tenant attorney what you owe tenants during a sale.
Vacant houses
7.1% of Trenton's housing units are vacant. If yours is one, I'll buy it with whatever's left inside and take care of the cleanout after closing.
Inherited a house here?
Trenton estates go through the Mercer County Surrogate's Court, the office that probates wills and grants letters of administration.
