What we see in Irvington

Irvington is a township of about 2.9 square miles bordered by Newark to the east, Maplewood to the west, and Hillside and Union to the south. The Garden State Parkway runs through the center of town with exits 143 and 144, and Interstate 78 touches the southeastern edge. About 61,000 people live here, at roughly 21,000 per square mile. The Irvington Bus Terminal on Springfield Avenue is one of NJ Transit's busiest facilities.

Selling a house in Irvington: what's different here

From Camptown to Irvington

The area was called Camptown until the 1850s, when residents renamed it for Washington Irving. It became a village in 1874, a town in 1898, and a township in 1982. With roughly 23,000 housing units in under three square miles, houses sit close together. Whatever the age or condition of yours, we buy it without asking you to update anything.

Transit village center

In 2015 the state designated the business district around the bus terminal on Springfield Avenue as a transit village, opening it to revitalization incentives. Parts of the township are also in an Urban Enterprise Zone. Whether your house sits near that center or on a side street elsewhere in town, we make a cash offer based on the property as it is.

Along the Elizabeth River

The Elizabeth River runs through Irvington past Civic Square and Clinton Cemetery. Basements in lower blocks near the river may have a history of water that an inspector will note and a buyer's lender may question. We buy without a lender and without inspection contingencies, so that history does not stall the sale.

Inherited a house in Irvington? The Essex County Surrogate's Court is in Newark. 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 Irvington sellers

Irvington FAQ

Do you buy Irvington rental houses with tenants in them?

Yes. We buy occupied houses and multi-family buildings, and we take over the tenancies at closing.

I live near the old Olympic Park area on the Maplewood border. Do you buy there?

Yes. We buy homes in every part of Irvington, including the neighborhoods near the Maplewood line where Olympic Park operated until 1965.

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 Irvington 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 Essex County. We are BBB accredited with an A+ rating, listed under our affiliate Gembrook Properties.
