Highlands, Monmouth County
Highlands is a Bayshore borough on the Shrewsbury River where it meets Sandy Hook Bay, bordered by Atlantic Highlands, Middletown, and Sea Bright across the Route 36 bridge. It was formed from Middletown in 1900. Part of the town sits low along the water, and part climbs the bluff topped by the Navesink Twin Lights, built in 1862. Route 36 is the main road, and SeaStreak ferries run from Conner's Ferry Landing to Manhattan.
Sandy pushed a storm surge of nearly 10 feet into Highlands in 2012, and about 80 percent of homes and most businesses were severely damaged. Low-lying houses can still carry repairs, elevation requirements, and flood-insurance costs that make financed buyers hesitate. We buy Highlands homes as-is, including ones with unfinished storm work.
Highlands splits between houses near the Shrewsbury River and Sandy Hook Bay and homes on the bluff and hills above. Each brings different issues, from flood zones down low to steep lots and drainage up high. We look at the property as it is and make a cash offer without asking you to fix those items.
Highlands had about 2,930 housing units in 2020, and about 17 percent were counted as vacant. Owners of rentals or part-time houses often want to sell without dealing with tenants, repairs, or cleanout, especially after storm-related work. We buy those properties for cash and close when it works for you.

Questions from Highlands sellers
Yes. We buy homes with past flood damage, open permits, or incomplete elevation work, as-is, for cash.
No. We factor it in, but because we pay cash, a buyer's flood insurance or mortgage approval isn't needed to close.
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.
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.
