Washington Township, Bergen County

What we see in Washington Township

Washington Township is a township of about 9,300 people in the Pascack Valley of north-central Bergen County, bordered by Emerson, Hillsdale, Ho-Ho-Kus, Paramus, Ridgewood, Saddle River, and Westwood. The Garden State Parkway serves it at Exits 166 and 168, and the Pascack toll plaza is here. Created in 1840 and once more than 30 square miles, it is now about three square miles. Its population jumped from about 1,200 in 1950 to 6,700 in 1960 after the Parkway opened.

Selling a house in Washington Township: what's different here

A 1950s growth spurt

Washington Township's population grew more than fivefold in the decade after the Garden State Parkway was completed, from about 1,200 in 1950 to 6,700 in 1960, so a large share of its housing went up in that era. Homes of that age often need roofs, windows, or system updates that buyers ask sellers to fix. We buy as-is for cash.

Hills and wetlands

Elevations run from about 50 feet in wooded swampland behind Westwood Regional High School to about 360 feet west of Van Emburgh Avenue. The higher ground is less prone to flooding, but the southern end near Musquapsink Brook is wooded wetland. We buy houses in either setting, in their current condition.

Schlegel Lake and the Parkway

Schlegel Lake, a 28-acre privately managed lake, sits in the township, and the Parkway's Pascack toll plaza is here too, along with Washington Town Center on Pascack Road. Houses near the lake, the highway, or the shopping center each draw a different set of buyers. We make cash offers on houses in any of these settings and close when you're ready.

Inherited a house in Washington Township? 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 Washington Township sellers

Washington Township FAQ

Will you buy a 1950s or 1960s house in Washington Township that's never been updated?

Yes. We buy older homes as-is, including original kitchens, baths, and systems.

How fast can you close in Washington Township?

Because we pay cash, we can often close within a few weeks, or on a later date that suits you.

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 Washington Township 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.
