Ho-Ho-Kus, Bergen County
What we see in Ho-Ho-Kus
Ho-Ho-Kus is a 1.75-square-mile borough in northwest Bergen County, bordered by Hillsdale, Ridgewood, Saddle River, Waldwick, and Washington Township. Route 17 runs through town, the Garden State Parkway is reached at exit 168, and the Ho-Ho-Kus station on Brookside Avenue serves NJ Transit's Main and Bergen County lines. The Ho-Ho-Kus Brook flows through downtown. Created as Orvil in 1905 and renamed Ho-Ho-Kus in 1908, the borough has about 1,470 homes.
Selling a house in Ho-Ho-Kus: what's different here
The Hermitage and old Ho-Ho-Kus
The Hermitage, where Aaron Burr married and briefly lived, is on the National Register of Historic Places, and the Ho-Ho-Kus Inn is a local landmark. Older properties in a borough with this much history can come with dated systems, earlier additions, or repairs that never got finished. We buy the house as it is, so you don't have to update it before selling.
A brook through downtown
The Ho-Ho-Kus Brook, which starts in Mahwah, runs through the center of town on its way to the Saddle River. Homes near a brook can raise flood-zone and insurance questions for buyers and their lenders. Our cash offers do not depend on a buyer's flood insurance quote or a bank's approval.
Very few listings
The 2020 census found a homeowner vacancy rate of about half a percent in Ho-Ho-Kus. With so few homes on the market, a house that needs work still competes with renovated listings for buyers' attention. We give owners another route: a firm cash price and a closing date they choose.

Questions from Ho-Ho-Kus sellers
Ho-Ho-Kus FAQ
Can you buy a Ho-Ho-Kus house that needs a full renovation?
Yes. We buy houses that need everything, from roofs and systems to kitchens and baths, and we close without asking you to make repairs.
My house is near the Ho-Ho-Kus Brook. Will that affect your offer?
We look at the property's flood-zone status along with everything else and make one cash offer. You won't face a lender's flood insurance requirement because we don't use financing.
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 Ho-Ho-Kus 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 Bergen County. We are BBB accredited with an A+ rating, listed under our affiliate Gembrook Properties.
