Elmwood Park, Bergen County

What we see in Elmwood Park

Elmwood Park is a borough of about 21,400 people on the east bank of the Passaic River, across from Paterson and Clifton, and bordered by Fair Lawn, Saddle Brook, and Garfield. It broke away from Saddle River Township in 1916 as East Paterson and took the name Elmwood Park in 1973. Interstate 80, the Garden State Parkway, Route 46, and Route 4 all serve the borough. Sections include Cherry Hill, Dundee Lake, Passaic Junction, and Rosemont, and there are about 7,950 housing units.

Selling a house in Elmwood Park: what's different here

Passaic River flooding

When the Passaic River crested at more than twice its flood level in one major storm, Daily Voice listed Elmwood Park among the towns dealing with widespread flooding. Homes on low streets near the river can carry flood-insurance costs and water-damage history that complicate a financed sale. We buy them as-is for cash.

East Paterson on old paperwork

Until January 1, 1973, the borough was called East Paterson. Older deeds, surveys, permits, and estate papers may use that name. That isn't a problem, but it is something the title search has to follow. We order title, work through the old records, and cover the closing costs.

Highways and industry

Elmwood Park sits where Route 46, Interstate 80, and the Garden State Parkway meet, and the Marcal paper plant, a local landmark, resumed production in 2020 after a 2019 fire. Homes near highways and industry can draw fewer retail buyers. We buy them at a fair price without asking you to fix anything first.

Inherited a house in Elmwood Park? 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 title work and deal directly with the estate's executor or court-appointed administrator, who signs the sale. If no one has been appointed yet, we'll walk you through that step. We talk with each heir separately and privately, so no one has to negotiate as a group.

Questions from Elmwood Park sellers

Elmwood Park FAQ

My deed says East Paterson. Does that cause problems selling?

No. Elmwood Park was East Paterson until 1973, and title companies handle the name change routinely. We take care of the title work.

Will you buy my Elmwood Park house if it flooded before?

Yes. We buy houses with flood history or unfinished repairs as-is, and you don't need to fix anything before closing.

Do all the heirs have to agree before an inherited house can be sold?

In New Jersey, an inherited house is sold through the estate, so the executor or court-appointed administrator signs the sale. We talk with each heir separately and privately, so no one has to negotiate as a group, and we'll walk you through getting an administrator appointed if that hasn't happened yet.

How fast can you close on a Elmwood Park house?

Thirty days is typical, and clean files can move faster. If you need more time, we'll write the date you want into the contract.

Are you a local company?

Yes. We're a New Jersey company based in Toms River, and we buy in all 21 counties, including Bergen County. We are BBB accredited with an A+ rating, listed under our affiliate Gembrook Properties.
