What's different about selling a house in Morris County
Morris houses have more land, more systems and more things a retail inspector can flag. That's exactly why a cash sale works well here. Every town varies; we'll tell you what applies to yours on the first call.
Septic and well. Much of western and northern Morris isn't on sewer or public water. A retail sale means a septic inspection, often a pump-out and dye test, sometimes a well water test, and a failed system can cost tens of thousands to replace before a lender will close. We buy with failed or unknown septic and don't require any of the testing.
Lakes and rivers. Lake Hopatcong, Budd Lake, Lake Hiawatha, Lake Parsippany, Indian Lake and dozens of smaller communities have association rules, dues and older cottages that were never meant for year-round living. The Rockaway, Whippany, Passaic and Pompton rivers flood Lincoln Park, Pequannock, Montville, Denville and Parsippany. We know all of it.
The 1960s and 70s housing stock is turning over. Randolph, Parsippany, Rockaway, Mount Olive and Roxbury were built out with splits, bi-levels and colonials on half-acre lots. Their original owners are downsizing or passing, and the houses need everything at once: roof, septic, windows, kitchens, cleanout.
Big lots mean big maintenance. An estate house on two acres in Chester or Mendham costs real money just to mow and heat while heirs decide. Carrying costs are why Morris estate houses come to us.
Estates and sheriff sales run through Morristown. The Morris County Surrogate's Court and the Sheriff's Office are at the county complex in Morristown. We've closed enough Morris estates to know the timeline.

Morris County questions
More on the FAQ page.
Do you buy houses with failed septic systems?
Yes, and we don't require an inspection, pump-out or repair before closing. We price the system replacement into the offer and show you the line.
What about lake association approval?
We're familiar with the major Morris lake communities and handle whatever the association requires on the buyer side.
Do you buy in Chester, Mendham and Harding?
Yes. Larger properties and higher price points don't change the process. Estate houses and tired houses are what we buy, at any price.
How fast can you see a house in Morris County?
Same day in eastern Morris, next day almost anywhere in the county. Route 80 from Totowa makes most of it a short drive.
