What's different about selling a house in Union County
Union is small, dense and varied. What applies to a three-family in Elizabeth has nothing to do with a colonial in Westfield, except that we buy both. Every town varies; we'll tell you what applies to yours on the first call.
The cities are multifamily and enforced. Elizabeth, Plainfield, Hillside and parts of Linden and Rahway are two-, three- and four-family territory with active code enforcement, rental registration and pre-sale certificate inspections. Tenants are protected under NJ law and evictions take months. We buy occupied, with violations open, and resolve liens at closing.
The railroad suburbs have old houses with old problems. Cranford, Westfield, Summit, Plainfield and Roselle Park grew up along the train lines a century ago. Victorians and prewar colonials with slate roofs, plaster, knob-and-tube and oil tanks are common, and the renovation cost is high. We buy them unrenovated.
The postwar towns are turning over. Union, Kenilworth, Clark, Springfield and Scotch Plains were built out with capes, splits and ranches in the 1950s and 60s. Their original owners are downsizing or passing. Those estate houses, full and untouched, are what we buy most in Union County.
The rivers flood. The Rahway River runs through Cranford, Rahway, Springfield and Union, and the Elizabeth River through Elizabeth, Hillside and Union. Flood history, insurance costs and disclosures push retail buyers away. We buy flood-zone houses as-is.
Estates and sheriff sales run through Elizabeth. The Union County Surrogate's Court and the Sheriff's Office are both at the county complex in Elizabeth. We deal with both regularly.
