Bergen County is home to some of North Jersey's most desirable communities. From the high-rises of Fort Lee overlooking the George Washington Bridge to the tree-lined streets of Ridgewood and the diverse neighborhoods of Hackensack, Bergen County offers it all. It's also home to some of New Jersey's highest property taxes and an aging housing stock that creates real challenges for homeowners looking to sell.
If you own a Bergen County property that you need to sell quickly, or that has issues making a traditional sale difficult, Easy Sell Property Solutions is now buying homes throughout the county. We offer fair cash offers, close in as little as 7 days, and buy properties exactly as they are - no repairs, no cleaning, no hassle.
Bergen County Towns We Serve
We're actively purchasing homes throughout Bergen County, including:
Hackensack The county seat and one of Bergen's most diverse communities. Hackensack has everything from modest single-families to larger multi-unit properties. We buy all property types here.
Englewood A city with tremendous variation - from luxury estates to properties needing significant work. Whether your Englewood home is pristine or problematic, we're interested in making you an offer.
Fort Lee Famous for its views of Manhattan and the GW Bridge. Fort Lee's condo market gets attention, but the city also has single-family homes and multi-families that owners sometimes need to sell quickly.
Teaneck One of Bergen County's most established communities with housing stock dating back decades. Many Teaneck homes were built in the 1950s-1970s and now need updates that current owners can't afford to make.
Paramus A retail hub with residential neighborhoods surrounding it. Paramus homes tend to be well-maintained, but even here, circumstances arise that require fast sales - divorce, inheritance, relocation.
Ridgewood Among Bergen County's most affluent communities. Even in Ridgewood, some properties have deferred maintenance, estate situations, or other circumstances where a cash sale makes sense.
Mahwah At the northern tip of Bergen County, Mahwah offers larger properties and lots. We buy here whether your home is move-in ready or needs complete renovation.
Garfield A working-class community with older housing stock. Many Garfield properties are exactly the type we specialize in - homes that need work and owners who need to sell as-is.
Lodi Similar to Garfield, Lodi has affordable housing that often needs updates. We're active buyers in this market.
Fair Lawn, Bergenfield, Dumont, Tenafly We buy throughout Bergen County - these are just some of the 70 municipalities where we're making cash offers.
Why Bergen County Homeowners Need Cash Buyers
Bergen County's real estate market looks strong on the surface. But underneath, many homeowners face challenges that make traditional sales difficult or impossible:
The Property Tax Problem Bergen County has some of the highest property taxes in America. On a $500,000 home, annual taxes can easily exceed $15,000. If you're struggling to keep up with taxes on a property you can't afford or don't want, every month of a slow traditional sale costs you thousands.
The Aging Housing Stock Much of Bergen County was built out in the 1950s-1970s. These homes often have: - Outdated electrical systems - Aging heating and cooling - Original roofs near end of life - Dated kitchens and bathrooms - Potential for lead paint and asbestos
Today's buyers want move-in ready. Bringing a 1960s split-level up to current standards can cost $100,000 or more. If you can't afford those updates, your buyer pool shrinks dramatically.
Financing Challenges Banks don't like to lend on properties with issues. If your home has code violations, structural concerns, or significant deferred maintenance, most buyers simply can't get a mortgage. Cash buyers like us don't have that limitation.
The Time Factor Traditional sales in Bergen County average 60-90 days after accepting an offer, assuming nothing goes wrong. If you need to sell for job relocation, divorce settlement, foreclosure avoidance, or estate liquidation, that timeline often doesn't work.
Situations We Handle in Bergen County
We've spent 15 years buying houses in difficult situations. Bergen County homeowners come to us for many reasons:
Inherited Property You've inherited a house in Teaneck from your parents. It's full of 50 years of belongings. The kitchen hasn't been updated since Reagan was president. You live in another state. A traditional sale would require months of preparation you don't have time for. We buy inherited properties as-is, contents included.
Facing Foreclosure Falling behind on your Bergen County mortgage is stressful and scary. We can close fast enough to help you avoid foreclosure, protect your credit, and potentially walk away with cash.
Divorce Selling the family home during divorce is emotional and complicated. We provide quick, certain closings that let both parties move on. Our fair, third-party offer often resolves disputes about property value.
Major Repairs Needed Your Hackensack cape cod needs a new roof, new windows, and foundation work. Estimates total $80,000. Traditional buyers won't touch it. We will.
Landlord Problems Own a rental property with tenants who won't pay or won't leave? We buy occupied properties. You don't need to evict first.
Code Violations Open permits from that addition you built? Unpermitted basement apartment? Failed inspections? These situations kill traditional sales. We buy properties with violations and assume the risk.
Job Relocation Got a job offer in another state starting next month? We can close on your timeline, even if that's next week.

Understanding Our Offer Approach
Fair pricing matters to us. Here's how we think about Bergen County offers:
We start with what your home would be worth fully repaired and updated - its After Repair Value (ARV). We then subtract our estimated repair costs, holding costs while we renovate, and a reasonable profit margin for our business.
For a Bergen County home with an ARV of $450,000 needing $60,000 in work, our offer might be $320,000-$350,000. That's below retail value, but consider what you avoid:
- 6% realtor commission: $27,000 saved
- Closing costs: $10,000 saved
- Repairs: $60,000 saved
- Months of carrying costs: $15,000+ saved
- Risk of deal falling through: Eliminated
Many Bergen County sellers find that our cash offer nets them comparable money to a traditional sale - and does it in days instead of months with zero hassle.
The Bergen County Tax Advantage of Selling Fast
With Bergen County property taxes averaging $12,000-$18,000 per year, every month you own a property you're trying to sell costs you $1,000-$1,500 in taxes alone. Add mortgage payments, insurance, and utilities, and carrying costs can reach $3,000-$5,000 monthly.
A traditional 4-6 month sale costs $15,000-$30,000 in carrying costs. Closing with us in 7-14 days eliminates almost all of that.
