We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.

Useful questions

Phillipsburg seller questions, answered

How much would I keep if I sell my Phillipsburg house for cash?

There is no one amount that fits every house. Compare the written sale price with repairs, commissions, cleanout, carrying costs, taxes, mortgage payoff, liens, and the costs attached to each selling path. What remains after those costs is more useful than the headline price.

Can I sell my New Jersey house while it is in foreclosure?

Often, yes, if the sale closes before the sheriff's sale. New Jersey foreclosures go through the courts. The lender must first send a Notice of Intention to Foreclose; you then have 30 days to catch up on the debt or ask for mediation before the lender can file in court. After you are served with the complaint, you have 35 days to answer. If you do not answer or contest the case, it is treated as uncontested. In an uncontested residential foreclosure, the lender normally must give at least 14 calendar days' notice before submitting proofs for final judgment, explaining how to get the amount needed to catch up. After final judgment, the sheriff sells the house at public auction. The sale must be advertised for at least four weeks, and the sheriff has 150 days from the writ of execution to hold it. You can ask the sheriff for two adjournments, each up to 30 calendar days. The lender can get two as well; one more is allowed if both sides agree, and a court can order more for good cause. After the sale, you generally have 10 days to redeem the house by paying the full amount due, including the judgment and sale costs. Free foreclosure mediation is available through the courts. If a foreclosure sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.

Can I ask about a house with a mortgage balance, liens, or back taxes?
