Selling a house in Glen Ridge: what's specific to the borough
Glen Ridge's houses are old and beautiful and its buyers want them perfect. That gap is where we work.
Large houses from the 1890s through 1930s. Colonials, Victorians and Tudors on Ridgewood Avenue and the streets off it, with slate roofs, plaster, knob-and-tube, oil tanks and original kitchens. Renovation runs well into six figures. We buy unrenovated.
The borough inspects before sale. Glen Ridge requires a certificate. We schedule it, pay for it and fix anything after closing.
Taxes. Glen Ridge's taxes make an empty estate house expensive every quarter. Heirs elsewhere often sell to us to stop it.
Small borough, quick process. Glen Ridge's inspection moves quickly, which helps when you need to close fast.
