Paterson, Passaic County
Paterson is the county seat and largest city of Passaic County, covering about 8.7 square miles with roughly 160,000 people. It borders Clifton, Haledon, Hawthorne, Prospect Park, Totowa, and Woodland Park in Passaic County and Elmwood Park and Fair Lawn in Bergen County. Interstate 80 and Routes 4, 19, and 20 serve the city, and the NJ Transit Main Line stops downtown. Housing ranges from the Eastside Park Historic District to neighborhoods such as Hillcrest, Sandy Hill, Riverside, South Paterson, and the Totowa Section.
Paterson's historic districts include the Great Falls/S.U.M. district, the downtown commercial district, and Eastside Park, whose roughly 1,000 homes include Tudor, Victorian, Italianate, and Dutch colonial styles. Restoring a historic house is slow and costly, and some exterior work can need extra review. We buy historic Paterson homes in their current condition.
In August 2011, Hurricane Irene pushed the Passaic River in Paterson to levels unseen for about a century, displacing thousands and closing bridges. The 1903 flood also hit the city hard. River-area homes may carry flood damage, open permits, or insurance questions that stop a financed sale. We buy them as-is.
Paterson grew around the 77-foot Great Falls, which powered its mills until 1914, and silk, locomotives, and firearms made it an industrial city. Houses built in those years are now more than a century old and often need major system work. We buy older Paterson homes for cash, whether inherited, vacant, or tenant-occupied.

Questions from Paterson sellers
Yes. We buy throughout the city, from Eastside Park and Hillcrest to Sandy Hill, South Paterson, Riverside, and the Totowa Section.
Yes. We buy flood-damaged houses as they are and factor the repairs into a cash offer, so you do not have to fix anything first.
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.
