Selling a house in Maplewood: what's specific to the township
Maplewood's market is strong and its buyers want turnkey. Estates here are rarely turnkey.
1920s colonials and Tudors. Across the town from the Village to Hilton, slate roofs, plaster, knob-and-tube, oil tanks and original kitchens are the norm. Renovation runs high and retail buyers expect it done. We buy unrenovated.
Two-families near Springfield Avenue. The Hilton section and the Irvington border have two-families and cut-up houses with tenants, some with units never permitted. We buy occupied.
The township inspects before sale. Maplewood requires a certificate. We schedule it, pay for it and fix anything after closing.
Taxes. Maplewood's taxes make an empty estate house expensive every quarter. Heirs elsewhere often sell to us to stop it.
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.
