Hawthorne, Passaic County

What we see in Hawthorne

Hawthorne is a borough of about 3.4 square miles in eastern Passaic County. It borders Paterson, Prospect Park, and North Haledon in Passaic County and Fair Lawn, Glen Rock, Ridgewood, and Wyckoff in Bergen County. Route 208 is its main state highway, County Route 504 also crosses town, and NJ Transit's Hawthorne station is on the Main Line to Hoboken. About 19,600 people live in roughly 7,900 housing units, in areas that include Goffle, North Hawthorne, and Van Winkle.

Selling a house in Hawthorne: what's different here

Along Goffle Brook

Goffle Brook Park follows the brook for about a mile and a half through Hawthorne. The 103-acre county park was designed by Olmsted Associates, built from 1930 to 1932, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Homes on the streets near the brook can draw drainage questions from buyers and inspectors. We buy as-is and weigh that ourselves.

Named for a novelist

Hawthorne was formed in 1898 from part of the former Manchester Township and named for the novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne. Homes that have stayed in one family for generations often come with dated systems and a full house of belongings. We buy inherited Hawthorne homes with the contents in place and can work around the probate calendar.

Former chemical companies

Two large chemical companies once operated in Hawthorne, and the borough's own history connects their departure to environmental concerns. A house near former industrial land can prompt extra questions from a buyer's lender or environmental inspector. We do our own review and buy without financing contingencies, so those questions do not hold up your closing.

Inherited a house in Hawthorne? The Passaic County Surrogate's Court is in Paterson. 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 Hawthorne sellers

Hawthorne FAQ

Do you buy houses near the Hawthorne train station or along Route 208?

Yes. We buy anywhere in Hawthorne, including Goffle, North Hawthorne, and Van Winkle, for cash and in as-is condition.

My parents' Hawthorne house is still full of their belongings. Do I need to empty it?

No. You can take what you want and leave the rest. We handle the clean-out after 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 Hawthorne 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 Passaic County. We are BBB accredited with an A+ rating, listed under our affiliate Gembrook Properties.
