Totowa, Passaic County

What we see in Totowa

Totowa is a borough of about 4.1 square miles along the Upper Passaic River, bordered by Paterson, Haledon, Wayne, Little Falls, and Woodland Park. Interstate 80 and U.S. Route 46 cross the borough, with Route 23, Route 3, and the Garden State Parkway nearby, and the closest train is the Little Falls station on the Montclair-Boonton Line. About 11,000 people live in roughly 4,000 housing units. The name comes from a Native American term for the Passaic Falls in Paterson.

Selling a house in Totowa: what's different here

Upper Passaic crossings

Several road crossings carry Totowa traffic over the Upper Passaic River, and the river has a long flood record, with major crests in 1903, 2010, and 2011. Homes on low ground near the river can raise flood-zone and insurance questions for a buyer's lender. We buy river-area houses as-is and close for cash.

Formed in 1898

Totowa was formed in 1898 from parts of Wayne Township and Manchester Township, and its first election was held at the Willard Park Hotel. Its land traces to the 1696 Willock's Patent. When a longtime family home here comes to market, it usually needs updating first. We buy inherited houses with the contents still inside.

Next to I-80 and Route 46

Interstate 80 and Route 46 run through Totowa, and NJ Transit buses connect to the Port Authority Bus Terminal. Houses close to busy roads can sit on the market while retail buyers discount for noise and traffic. We make our offer on the house as it stands and close on the date you choose.

Inherited a house in Totowa? 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 Totowa sellers

Totowa FAQ

Do you buy Totowa houses close to the Passaic River?

Yes. We buy homes near the river in as-is condition and factor any flood history into a cash offer.

My Totowa house is right off Route 46. Will that lower your interest?

No. We buy houses near highways all the time and price them on their actual condition, with no repairs required.

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 Totowa 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.
