What we buy
We review Phillipsburg houses with open code notices, unsafe-condition findings, or repair work still needed. You do not have to finish the repair list or clean out the house before asking about an as-is sale. Tell us what the notice says and what you know about the house as it sits.
What can affect closing in New Jersey?
Some New Jersey towns require an inspection or certificate before a home changes owners. Ask the Town of Phillipsburg what applies to your address; a statewide rule does not answer every town's inspection checklist.
New Jersey requires one- and two-family homes to meet smoke-alarm requirements when ownership or occupancy changes. Carbon monoxide alarms are required where the fire code calls for them. The state removed its statewide portable fire-extinguisher requirement in 2025. A house that needs rehabilitation and a new certificate of occupancy can qualify for an exception to the pre-transfer certificate, but it cannot be occupied until the required certificate is obtained.

An as-is sale does not automatically end an existing order, court case, fee, or deadline. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.
What happens next
- We talk about the address, the house, and what the code notice or paperwork says.
- We give you a written offer and written terms before you commit.
- If you choose to proceed, closing is through a title company. Existing orders and court papers still matter.
