Bernards Township, Basking Ridge and Liberty Corner, is colonials on acreage, older homes in the village, and buyers who expect perfection. We buy the estate houses as they are: septic unknown, roof tired, decades inside. Written offer in 24 hours.

You'll meet Peter, not a call center. Peter has bought Bernards estates and knows the township's certificate process. About Peter
Bernards' price point doesn't change the process. Condition and situation do.
Colonials from the 60s through 90s on large lots. The developments off Mount Airy Road, Lyons Road and Valley Road were built in waves, many on septic. Their first owners are downsizing or passing.
The village is old. Basking Ridge's center has 1800s through 1930s houses with slate roofs, plaster and oil tanks. Renovation costs are high; we buy unrenovated.
Septic and well in much of the township. We buy with unknown or failed systems and require no testing.
The township inspects before sale. Bernards requires a certificate. We schedule it, pay for it and fix anything after closing.
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 Somerset County.
