Selling a house in East Orange: what's specific to the city
East Orange is a landlord's city with tenant-protective rules. That's why owners sell to us here.
Two- and three-families and small apartment buildings. Frame and brick multifamilies from the 1890s through 1930s, plus larger prewar apartment houses, fill the city. Owner down, tenants up, then an estate or an absentee landlord. We buy occupied.
Rent control and registration. East Orange has rent control and requires rental registration. A retail buyer's attorney wants clean paperwork. We buy buildings where it isn't tidy.
Certificate before sale. The city inspects before a sale closes. Basement apartments that were never permitted are common. We buy as-is and deal with the city afterward.
Tax liens and water. Unpaid taxes and water bills go to lien sale quickly. Both are paid from proceeds at 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 Essex County.
