A New Jersey home buyer you can meet, on Riverview Drive in Totowa
Peregrine REI is a small, local real estate investment company. We buy houses directly from owners across New Jersey, for cash, in whatever condition they're in. No franchise, no call center, no out-of-state investors deciding what your street is worth.
Meet Peter
Peter Koukounas started Peregrine REI in 2015 and still handles every offer himself. When you call, you talk to him.
I was born and raised in New Jersey and I've been buying houses here since 2015. Most of them were the kind that don't work for a normal listing: an estate house with four decades of belongings, a two-family with a tenant who stopped paying, a split-level with a roof past saving, a house three weeks from a sheriff sale.
Early on I noticed that the people selling those houses were rarely getting a straight answer from anyone. The national “we buy houses” companies gave them a number over the phone and cut it after the inspection. Agents told them to spend money on repairs they didn't have. I started Peregrine REI to be the buyer who shows the math, keeps the number, and tells people when they shouldn't sell to me.
Ten years in, that's still the whole business model. I know how the surrogate's offices in Passaic, Bergen and Essex run, which towns require a certificate of occupancy before closing, and which title companies can actually close in a week. When you call, you get me or someone I trained, and you get the same answer on day one that you get at the closing table.

What we promise every seller
Five things. If we ever break one, call Peter directly and say so.
How we make money, plainly
We buy below full retail value, then fix the house and sell or rent it. The difference between what we pay you and what the renovated house is worth covers the repairs, the months of carrying it, the cost of selling it, and our profit. That's the whole model, and it's why we can show you every line of the offer.
What you get in exchange for a lower price: no commission, no repairs, no cleanout, no showings, no appraisal or financing risk, and a closing date you control. For a lot of houses and a lot of situations, that trade is worth it. For some it isn't. See the offer breakdown and decide with real numbers.
We are not a real estate brokerage and we don't list houses. We don't charge sellers anything, ever.
