River Vale, Bergen County
What we see in River Vale
River Vale is a township of about 10,000 people at the eastern edge of the Pascack Valley. The Hackensack River and Lake Tappan form its eastern border, Pascack Brook its southern border, and the New York state line its northern edge. Neighbors include Old Tappan, Harrington Park, Emerson, Westwood, Hillsdale, Montvale, Park Ridge, and Woodcliff Lake. Most of the township is suburban single-family homes, with a small business district at Rivervale Road and Westwood Avenue and three golf courses.
Selling a house in River Vale: what's different here
Hackensack River backyards
In an October 2021 nor'easter, the Hackensack River spilled over its banks and took over backyards along its banks in River Vale and Old Tappan. Water near a foundation or a flood-zone designation can make buyers and lenders cautious. We buy for cash and take the house as it is.
Between the river and the brook
The southern part of River Vale lies between the Hackensack River and Pascack Brook and is relatively flat, while the north slopes from rolling hills down to Lake Tappan. State Senator Holly Schepisi has named River Vale among Pascack Valley towns where flooding follows a couple of inches of rain. We buy houses with water history without requiring repairs.
No train station
River Vale has no rail service of its own; commuters use Pascack Valley Line stations in neighboring towns or Rockland Coaches buses. That narrows the pool of commuting buyers. A cash sale to us doesn't depend on who is shopping that month, and you pick the closing date.

Questions from River Vale sellers
River Vale FAQ
My River Vale backyard floods when the Hackensack River rises. Can I still sell?
Yes. We buy houses with flooding history as-is for cash, so there's no lender flood requirement and no need to fix drainage before closing.
Will you buy a River Vale house that needs updating?
We buy single-family homes in River Vale in whatever condition they're in, including dated interiors and deferred maintenance.
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 River Vale 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.
