What we see in Burlington City

Burlington City sits on the Delaware River across from Bristol, Pennsylvania, connected by the Burlington-Bristol Bridge, which opened in 1931. Burlington Township surrounds it on the New Jersey side. Founded by English settlers in 1677, it was the capital of West Jersey until 1702 and the county seat until 1796. About 9,700 people live in the city, which has about 4,500 housing units, the Revell House from 1685, Old St. Mary's Church, and two River Line stations.

Selling a house in Burlington City: what's different here

Historic district approvals

The city has two districts on the National Register, High Street and the Burlington Historic District. Its Historic Preservation Commission may require a Certificate of Appropriateness before exterior work on windows, doors, siding, roofing, porches, or fencing in the local Historic District. Buyers planning renovations have to budget for that review. We buy historic homes as-is.

One of New Jersey's oldest towns

With buildings dating to the 1600s and 1700s, Burlington has housing that has been altered many times over. Old foundations, dated wiring, and past repairs often show up at inspection. We do not ask for repairs or a clean inspection report before closing.

Two stations and a bridge

Burlington South and Burlington Towne Centre stations put the city on the River Line between Trenton and Camden, and Route 130 and the bridge to Bristol carry traffic through town. The 2020 census counted about 11 percent of housing units as vacant. We buy vacant houses and occupied rentals alike.

Inherited a house in Burlington City? Estates are opened through the Burlington County Surrogate in Mount Holly. 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 Burlington City sellers

Burlington City FAQ

Do I need historic commission approval to sell my house in Burlington City?

Selling a house does not require commission approval. Exterior work in the Historic District may need a Certificate of Appropriateness, and we buy the home as it is without asking you to do that work.

Can you buy a vacant house in Burlington City that needs major repairs?

Yes. We buy vacant and inherited homes in any condition and can close on a timeline that works for you or the estate.

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