The market has seen rising prices but some homes are aging and in need of repair, with absentee landlords or inherited properties being common.

Plainfield

City

Offers a diverse real estate market from grand Victorian homes in the historic district to modest colonials and multi-family dwellings. Many homes were built in the late 1800s to mid-1900s, and while there's been a resurgence in demand, some properties need significant rehabilitation. Selling a fixer-upper through the traditional market can be challenging as retail buyers often prefer move-in ready homes.

City

Has experienced a revival with a growing arts scene and new downtown apartments. Its single-family housing stock includes early-1900s homes and post-war capes on modest lots. Rahway's dual market sees condos and renovated homes near downtown selling quickly, while older houses farther out might take longer. Flooding can affect parts of Rahway, making some buyers cautious.

Town

One of Union County's most affluent towns with a charming downtown and highly sought-after homes. The market features stately colonial revival and Victorian houses, newer custom builds, and some condos.

Fanwood

Borough

A small borough often coupled with Scotch Plains (they share schools) known for its Victorian-era train station and mix of older and newer homes. Fanwood has become desirable for young families with charming early-1900s homes and mid-century houses. Many properties have been updated, but those that haven't might find the market unforgiving as buyers seek turnkey homes.

Garwood

Borough

A tiny borough wedged between Westfield and Cranford, known for its small-town feel and housing stock of primarily capes, ranches, and the occasional duplex.

Borough

A small borough with a tight-knit community feel consisting mostly of single-family homes from cozy bungalows to expanded capes on quiet streets.

Mountainside

Borough

A small, upscale borough adjacent to the Watchung Reservation featuring spacious homes often on large lots with rolling hills. Mountainside's luxury market has limited inventory and buyers pay premiums for privacy and scenery. However, the pool of buyers at $1M+ is smaller, so selling homes that aren't updated can take longer than in entry-level markets.

Borough

We Help Union County Homeowners in Any Situation

Life can throw curveballs, but that shouldn't stop you from being able to sell your house when you need to. We have helped many Union County homeowners facing all kinds of challenging situations. Here are some of the most common scenarios we deal with – and how we can assist:

Inherited Homes / Probate Properties

Inherited a house in Union County? Perhaps you're dealing with a probate property after a loved one's passing? These situations can be emotionally and financially taxing. Inherited homes often need extensive updates or come with legal complexities (multiple heirs, probate court approval, etc.).

Rather than pouring money into an unwanted inherited property or struggling with executor duties, you can sell it to us for cash. We have experience working with estates and probate attorneys to ensure a smooth sale. No need to clean out the house – take what you want and leave the rest.

No Clean-Out Needed

Take only the items you want to keep. We'll handle the rest after purchase.

No Repairs Required

We buy inherited homes in any condition - old decor, outdated systems, and all.

Probate Expertise

We'll work with your estate attorney and can buy even during the probate process.

Pre-Foreclosure / Financial Distress

Are you behind on mortgage payments or facing foreclosure on your Union County property? Time is of the essence. We specialize in helping homeowners stop foreclosure by purchasing the house before the bank takes it.

A quick cash sale can resolve your loan and save your credit from the long-term damage of a foreclosure. We understand the pressure you're under – our process is fast and respectful. There's no judgment; financial hardships can happen to anyone. By selling to us, you get the mortgage off your back and possibly walk away with cash (if there is equity).

Job Relocation / Need to Move Quickly

Got a new job offer that requires you to move out of the area? Or perhaps you're relocating for military service or other personal reasons? Congratulations on the new chapter – but selling your house on a tight timeline can be stressful.

Traditional sales can take months, which might not be feasible if you've got to report to a new city in a few weeks. We can buy your Union County house fast for cash, allowing you to focus on your move. No need to manage a sale from another state or pay double housing costs.

Fast Closing Timeline

Close in as little as 7 days - perfect for tight job start dates.

Remote Closing

Complete the entire process virtually if you've already moved.

No Double Payments

Avoid paying for two homes during your transition period.

As-Is Purchase

No need to prepare or stage the home during your busy move.

Divorce or Property Division

We understand that divorce is a sensitive and private matter. Our team approaches these situations with discretion, respect, and professionalism.

A divorce is difficult enough without the added stress of selling a house. When couples decide to separate, the family home is often the largest asset that needs to be divided. We offer a compassionate, swift solution to liquidate the property and split the proceeds without enduring months of listing and bargaining.

Because we buy houses quickly, you won't be stuck co-owning a house with your ex for longer than necessary. And since we buy as-is, you won't have to agree on making repairs or updates just to sell – one less thing to argue over.

Neutral Process

We work with both parties fairly

Split Proceeds

Distribute funds as agreed
