Scotch Plains, Union County
What we see in Scotch Plains
Scotch Plains is a nine-square-mile township on a ridge in western Union County, bordered by Westfield, Mountainside, Berkeley Heights, Fanwood, Plainfield, and Clark, plus Watchung, Edison, and South Plainfield. Settled as early as 1684, it was incorporated as Fanwood Township in 1878 and renamed Scotch Plains in 1917. Route 22 runs through the north, Route 28 through the center, and the Raritan Valley Line bisects the township, with its station in Fanwood. Localities include Willow Grove, Goodmans, Alton, and Two Bridges.
Selling a house in Scotch Plains: what's different here
Watchung Reservation side
The 1,945-acre Watchung Reservation covers the north side of the township, with trails, stables, and a nature center. Houses on the wooded ridge near the reservation can need tree, drainage, and roof work that a buyer's inspector will flag. We buy Scotch Plains homes as-is for cash, so you don't have to take that on before selling.
Stagecoach-era history
The Stage House Inn dates to 1737, when Scotch Plains was a stop on the New York to Philadelphia stagecoach line, and the colonial Aunt Betty Frazee House on Raritan Road is on the state and national registers. Older homes in town can need costly upkeep. We buy older houses in their current condition and close when you're ready.
Robinson's Branch
Robinson's Branch of the Rahway River flows through Scotch Plains toward the Robinson's Branch Reservoir, and the township also has the public Ashbrook and Scotch Hills golf courses. Homes close to the stream can raise flood-zone questions for financed buyers. We review the flood status ourselves and pay cash, so no lender or insurer holds up the closing.

Questions from Scotch Plains sellers
Scotch Plains FAQ
Do you buy Scotch Plains homes near the Watchung Reservation?
Yes. We buy houses anywhere in Scotch Plains, including on the wooded north side, and make cash offers on them as they are.
My house is near Robinson's Branch. Will flood risk affect the sale?
We look at the flood-zone status when we make our offer, but we pay cash, so a buyer's flood insurance or mortgage approval isn't part of the deal.
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 Scotch Plains 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 Union County. We are BBB accredited with an A+ rating, listed under our affiliate Gembrook Properties.
