Dennis, Cape May County

What we see in Dennis

Dennis Township covers about 64 square miles of mainland in northern Cape May County, from the Delaware Bay marshes to the causeways that lead to Avalon and Sea Isle City. The Garden State Parkway, Route 9, and Routes 47, 83, and 347 cross it. Its villages include Dennisville, South Dennis, Belleplain, Ocean View, South Seaville, and Eldora. The township was formed from Upper Township in 1827, and Sea Isle City and Woodbine were later carved out of it. About 6,300 people lived there in 2020.

Selling a house in Dennis: what's different here

Pinelands rules in part of town

The New Jersey Pinelands Commission lists Dennis Township as partly in the Pinelands Area and partly in the Pinelands National Reserve. Those rules mostly matter to someone who wants to build, add on, or subdivide, and they can slow a buyer with big plans. We buy existing homes and land as they are, so you don't need approvals in hand to sell.

Creeks and bay marsh

Dennis Creek runs past Dennisville, and East Creek, West Creek Landing, and the Delaware Bay shoreline are all part of the township. About 3.5 square miles of the township is water. Low-lying lots near the creeks and marsh can fall in flood zones, which affects insurance and financing. We look at the property and make an offer without requiring flood insurance.

Rural lots, spread-out villages

In 2010 Dennis had about 2,670 housing units spread over 60 square miles of land, or roughly 44 per square mile. Rural properties can come with outbuildings and years of accumulated belongings. We buy rural houses with everything on the property and handle the clean-out ourselves.

Inherited a house in Dennis? The Cape May County Surrogate sits in Cape May Court House. 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 Dennis sellers

Dennis FAQ

Does being in the Pinelands affect selling my Dennis Township house?

Part of the township is under Pinelands rules, which mostly affect new construction and subdivision. We buy existing homes as they are and handle our own due diligence on what can be done with the land.

Do you buy in Ocean View and South Seaville, near the Parkway?

Yes. We buy in every part of Dennis Township, including Ocean View, South Seaville, South Dennis, Dennisville, Belleplain, and Eldora.

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 Dennis 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 Cape May County. We are BBB accredited with an A+ rating, listed under our affiliate Gembrook Properties.
