Selling a house in Bergenfield: what's specific to the borough

Bergenfield turns over slowly and by generation. The houses we buy here are almost always someone's parents' house.

Capes and colonials from the 20s through 50s. The grid around Washington Avenue and the streets toward Dumont and Teaneck were built out over three decades with small colonials, capes and a few two-families. Many are still with original families or their estates: plaster, knob-and-tube, oil tanks, full basements.

Coles Brook and the Hackensack tributaries flood. The low streets along Coles Brook and near the New Milford border have flood history. We buy flood-zone houses as-is.

The borough inspects before sale. Bergenfield requires a certificate. We schedule it, pay for it and fix anything after closing.

Taxes make waiting expensive. An estate house sitting empty in Bergenfield costs real money every quarter while heirs decide. That's usually why the house comes to us.

Local notes from houses we’ve bought and walked; confirm anything specific to your property with the township and your attorney. More on selling in Bergen County.
