Bernards, Somerset County

What we see in Bernards

Bernards Township covers about 24 square miles in northern Somerset County, between Bedminster, Far Hills, Bernardsville, Bridgewater, and Warren, with Harding Township and Long Hill in Morris County to the northeast. The Passaic River and Millington Gorge mark part of its eastern edge next to the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, and Interstates 78 and 287 cross it. Most homes are in Basking Ridge, Liberty Corner, and Lyons, along with The Hills, a development shared with Bedminster.

Selling a house in Bernards: what's different here

Basking Ridge, Liberty Corner, Lyons

Bernards is one township, but most people know it by its villages: Basking Ridge, Liberty Corner, and Lyons, plus smaller places like Franklin Corners and Mount Horeb. Chartered in 1760, it later gave up land to form Warren, Far Hills, and Bernardsville. The 2010 census counted about 10,100 housing units. We buy houses in every section, from older homes to newer construction.

Gladstone Branch stations

NJ Transit's Basking Ridge and Lyons stations sit on the Gladstone Branch to Hoboken, and Interstates 78 and 287 cross the township. Verizon Wireless is headquartered here, and the Lyons VA Medical Center campus is on the National Register. Job changes often come with tight timelines. We can close on the date that fits your move, without showings or a buyer's financing to wait on.

Next to the Great Swamp

The Passaic River and Millington Gorge form part of the eastern boundary, the Dead River swamp lies to the south, and the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge borders the township. The Highlands Council places all of Bernards in the Highlands Planning Area. Lots near wetlands can raise questions for buyers who want to expand. We buy as-is and take those questions on ourselves.

Inherited a house in Bernards? The Somerset County Surrogate's Court is in Somerville. 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 Bernards sellers

Bernards FAQ

Do you buy houses in Basking Ridge?

Yes. Basking Ridge is a section of Bernards Township rather than a separate municipality, and we buy homes there as well as in Liberty Corner, Lyons, and The Hills.

Can you buy a Basking Ridge house that needs a lot of work?

Yes. We buy as-is, so there is no need to repair, stage, or clear out the house before closing.

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 Bernards 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 Somerset County. We are BBB accredited with an A+ rating, listed under our affiliate Gembrook Properties.
