Selling a house in Chatham: what's specific to the borough and township
Chatham's houses are old and its buyers expect perfection. That gap is where we work.
Prewar colonials in the borough. The grid around Main Street and the train station is 1890s through 1930s houses: slate roofs, plaster, knob-and-tube, oil tanks, original bathrooms. Renovation costs at Chatham prices are high and retail buyers expect them done. We buy unrenovated.
Postwar and newer in the township. Splits, colonials and larger homes from the 50s through 90s, some on larger lots, turning over from first owners.
The Passaic River edge floods. The low streets near the Passaic and the Summit and Florham Park borders have flood history. We buy flood-zone houses as-is.
Both municipalities inspect before sale. We schedule it, pay for it and fix anything after closing.
Taxes. Chatham's taxes make an empty estate house expensive every quarter. That's usually why heirs call 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 Morris County.
