Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell a house with open code violations in NJ?
Yes. Code violations do not prevent a sale. We buy properties with open violations and take responsibility for all remediation after closing.
What types of code violations do you accept?
All types. Structural violations, electrical issues, plumbing deficiencies, zoning violations, overgrown property, unpermitted additions, and any other municipal code issues.
Will the city stop fining me once I sell?
Yes. Once the property transfers to EasyOffer at closing, you are no longer the responsible party. We take on all current and future violation obligations.
What if the fines already exceed the property value?
In some cases, municipalities will negotiate fine reductions when a property changes hands and remediation is planned. We have experience working with local code enforcement to reduce accumulated penalties.
Can I sell if the city has placed a lien for code violations?
Yes. Municipal liens are paid from the sale proceeds at closing, just like any other lien. The title company ensures all liens are cleared at closing.
Do code violations affect how much you offer in Paterson?
Our offer factors in the cost of remediation, but we still make competitive offers. The alternative — paying daily fines while trying to fix violations yourself — is almost always more expensive.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
