Longport, Atlantic County
Longport is a borough of under 900 year-round residents at the southwest tip of Absecon Island, past Margate and Ventnor. Bridges and causeways, including the Dolores G. Cooper Bridge (Longport-Somers Point Boulevard) and the Ocean City-Longport Bridge, connect it to the mainland and Ocean City. Most of its area is water. The borough was incorporated in 1898 from Egg Harbor Township. Its housing is beach and bay homes, many of them second homes, with far more housing units than year-round households.
Longport's streets begin at 11th Avenue because storms between 1900 and 1916 washed away about ten blocks, roughly 180 acres, at the island's southern end. The borough is part of an Army Corps beach and dune project covering Absecon Island's oceanfront. Erosion and flood history matter to buyers and lenders. We buy as-is for cash.
Sandy brought significant tidal damage to Absecon Island, Longport included, and high seas washed boulders onto part of the Ocean City-Longport Bridge. Flood-damaged or unelevated homes can be hard to sell to financed buyers. We buy Longport houses in their current condition, whether or not repairs were finished.
In 2010, Longport had about 1,650 housing units but only 470 households, so most houses are not lived in year-round. Selling one from a distance means coordinating access, contractors, and contents. We handle the clean-out and close without you making extra trips down.

Yes. We buy homes at their original height, including ones with flood history, for cash.
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.
