Bergen County, New Jersey

What we see in Bergen County

Bergen is the most populous and most fragmented county in the state, and its housing stock ranges from pre-war capes in Bogota and Lodi to large center-hall colonials in Alpine and Saddle River. Many of the estates we buy here involve a long-held family home that has not been updated since the 1970s and would need a full renovation to list.

Selling a house in Bergen County: what's different here

Co-ops and high-rises

Fort Lee, Cliffside Park, Edgewater, and Hackensack have a large share of co-ops and high-rise condos. A co-op sale needs board approval and a full financial package from the buyer, and many boards set minimum down payments or restrict sublets, which shrinks the pool of buyers for an estate unit.

Low-lying towns by the Meadowlands

Little Ferry, Moonachie, and Carlstadt took storm-surge flooding from the Hackensack River during Hurricane Sandy. Homes there now carry New Jersey's 2024 flood disclosure requirement, and flood insurance premiums are a real factor in what a financed buyer can afford.

Oil tanks and the Highlands

Much of Bergen's pre-war and post-war housing was originally heated with oil, and buyers routinely ask for a tank sweep; an old underground tank that was never removed or properly closed can stall a contract for weeks. In the northwest corner, Mahwah and Oakland fall inside the Highlands region, where land-use rules are stricter.

Inherited a property here? Bergen County's Surrogate's Court is in Hackensack. With 70 municipalities, local permit and certificate-of-occupancy rules vary sharply from town to town. We handle the estate paperwork and the title work, and we can often buy a single heir's share without needing every heir at the table.
