Inherited a two-family house from my dad and honestly had no idea what I was getting into — the place needed way more work than I thought. I could've spent months trying to fix it up and chase a better price, but I just wanted it done. DirectPoint walked me through everything up front, bought it as-is, and gave me a closing date I could actually plan my life around. Real straightforward, no surprises.
Sell your Newark house as-is, on your own timeline
No repairs. No showings. No commission or service fee. A straightforward cash offer from a company focused on Newark and Essex County, with every step clearly explained.
Whatever's going on with the property, we've probably seen it
Price matters. For a lot of people we talk to, though, it isn't the only thing that matters — certainty, timing, repairs, tenants, and knowing exactly what happens next can matter just as much.
Inherited a Property
Dealing with an estate, out-of-state siblings, or a house nobody wants to keep.
Tenant or Rent Problems
Non-paying tenants, an eviction in progress, or a building you're just done managing.
Relocating
Moving for work or family and can't afford to carry two homes at once.
Behind on Payments
Working through missed payments and want a clear, realistic way forward.
Divorce or Family Split
Selling something you own together, without dragging the process out.
Major Repairs Needed
Old roof, foundation issues, code violations — we buy it exactly as it stands.
Title or Lien Issues
Old permits, unresolved liens, or paperwork that's scared off other buyers.
Vacant or Tired of Landlording
An empty property costing you money, or years of managing tenants finally catching up.
How selling to us actually works
Three steps, no fine print, no obligation until you decide it's the right move.
Tell us about the property
Call 201-463-2281 or send a few details through the form below. It takes about five minutes.
Get a straightforward cash offer
We review the property and typically give you a clear, no-obligation number within 24–48 hours.
Pick your closing date
Close in as little as seven days, or on whatever timeline actually works for you. We don't charge you a commission or service fee.
As-is sale vs. a traditional listing
Both are legitimate paths — it depends what you're optimizing for.
| Traditional listing | Selling to DirectPoint | |
|---|---|---|
| Repairs before selling | Usually expected | None — sold as-is |
| Showings & open houses | Multiple, ongoing | None |
| Buyer financing risk | Deal can fall through | We buy directly, no lender involved |
| Agent commission | Negotiated with your brokerage; terms vary | No commission or service fee paid to DirectPoint |
| Typical timeline | 60–90+ days, sometimes longer | As fast as 7 days, or your choice |
| Who sets the closing date | Negotiated between buyer and seller | We generally work around your preferred date |
A traditional listing can sometimes bring a higher price on paper. Selling as-is is about trading some of that upside for speed, certainty, and not having to deal with repairs, showings, or a buyer's financing falling through.
How the money and closing actually work
Reasonable questions if you've never sold to a company like ours before.
- Every offer is put in writing before you sign anything.
- Closing is handled through a licensed title company or real estate attorney, not directly by us.
- You're free to have your own attorney review everything before you commit to anything.
- Proof of funds is available on request.

What people in Newark are saying
Real situations, told in their own words.
I was relocating for work and got stuck paying for two houses at the same time, which was not fun. I didn't want to sit around wondering if some buyer's mortgage was going to fall through at the last minute. I went with DirectPoint instead — they gave me a closing date that actually worked with my move, and I knew exactly where I stood the whole time. Would do it again.
Dealt with bad tenants and missed rent for months, and it was draining. Listing it the normal way meant more showings, more access issues, more headaches. DirectPoint just bought the building as-is, tenants and all, and I finally got to put that whole situation behind me. Wish I had called them sooner.
Found out there were old permit problems and an unapproved unit when I started looking into selling — every call brought up another thing that supposedly needed fixing first. DirectPoint actually took the time to explain what could realistically be done, and what couldn't, and just bought it as-is. It never turned into the big renovation project I was scared it would.
After our mom passed, my two brothers and I ended up with a house none of us really wanted to deal with. We're all in different states, the house was still full of her things, and just agreeing on anything between the three of us was hard enough. Getting top dollar mattered less to us than having something fair and easy to understand that we could all agree to.
My rental sat empty for months, and it was costing me money every single day. I probably could've fixed it up and held out for more, but that meant putting more time and money into a property I already wanted to be rid of. DirectPoint gave me a clear number, a simple timeline, and the relief of knowing it was finally off my plate.
I had to sell during a really hard time for my family, and the last thing I wanted was for the whole thing to be public or complicated. No open houses, no strangers walking through asking questions about my life. DirectPoint kept it private and respectful and let me handle it on my own terms.
I honestly thought selling was basically impossible once old liens and title issues started popping up. The money wasn't even the part that got to me — it was not knowing if the deal would even close, or when. DirectPoint worked directly with the people involved to sort it out and kept me in the loop the whole way.
I'd been a landlord for over 20 years, and I was just tired, plain and simple. I could've renovated the units, asked tenants to leave for showings, spent months getting it market-ready — I didn't have it in me anymore. DirectPoint let me sell the building exactly how it was, and I could finally just move on.
I knew a regular listing might bring in a higher number on paper, but a number on paper isn't the same as money in your hand at closing. Inspections, appraisals, buyer financing falling through, repair requests — all of that can change a deal completely. I went with DirectPoint because I wanted to know the real terms and the real timeline up front.
Common questions
Do I need to make any repairs before selling?
No. We buy homes in as-is condition — including deferred maintenance, unpermitted work, or major structural issues. What you see is what we buy.
How fast can you actually close?
As fast as seven days if you need it, or on whatever timeline works for your situation — sometimes that's 60 or 90 days out. You tell us what works and we build the offer around it.
Are there any fees, commissions, or hidden costs?
We don't charge a commission or service fee. Before you sign anything, we'll show you the purchase price and explain any known costs or property-specific payoffs — like a lien — that could affect your final net.
Will you buy a property with tenants, liens, or title issues?
Yes. We regularly work with tenant-occupied buildings, properties with unpaid liens, unresolved permits, or title complications, and handle the details directly with the parties involved.
How do you come up with your offer?
We look at the property's condition, what comparable homes in the area have sold for, and what it would realistically cost to bring it to market-ready condition — then walk you through the number so it isn't a mystery.
Is there any obligation once I reach out?
None. Getting an offer costs nothing and doesn't commit you to anything. Plenty of people talk to us just to have a number in hand while they weigh their options.
What areas do you buy in?
Newark and the surrounding communities, including Irvington, East Orange, Orange, Elizabeth, Bloomfield, Belleville, and Union, NJ.
Can I sell a Newark house that has open code violations?
In most cases, yes. We regularly buy properties with open violations and factor them into the offer rather than asking you to clear them first, though we'll review your specific situation before finalizing anything.
Can I sell a two- or three-family home in Newark while tenants are still living there?
Yes. We buy tenant-occupied buildings as-is and work directly with what's already in place, so you don't need to wait for a vacancy or handle notices yourself.
Can I sell an inherited house before probate is finished in Essex County?
It depends on where the estate is in the process, and this is one area where looping in the estate's attorney early really helps. In many cases we can start agreeing on terms while probate is still being finalized, so the sale is ready to close as soon as everything clears. This isn't legal advice — your attorney can confirm exactly where things stand.
What happens to property tax or water liens when I sell?
Outstanding taxes or municipal liens are typically settled out of the sale proceeds at closing through the title or settlement company, rather than something you pay out of pocket beforehand.
Do I need to clean out an inherited house before selling it?
No. Leftover furniture, belongings, or years of accumulated items are common in inherited properties, and it's not something you need to deal with first.
Can I sell a property with an unpermitted or illegal unit?
Yes. Unapproved units and old permit issues come up often, and we're generally able to work around them rather than requiring everything to be resolved before selling.
Where we buy
All of Newark's neighborhoods, plus the towns right around it.
