## Essex County context

Selling anywhere in Essex County runs through the same offices. New Jersey is a judicial foreclosure state: uncontested residential foreclosures run through the state's Office of Foreclosure, and contested cases go to the Superior Court's Chancery Division at the Essex vicinage in Newark. The backlog is measured in years, not months. Estate matters run through the Essex County Surrogate's Court, and the Essex County Register of Deeds and Mortgages records deeds and liens. Municipal tax sales in Newark and the older suburbs put third-party lienholders in the payoff math. InTym Properties pulls the county records on every house before we write the offer.

The cost side is county-level too. New Jersey's realty transfer fee is graduated: roughly $2.90 to $6.05 per $500 of consideration on sales above $350,000, collected by the county recording officer when the deed is recorded, plus a 1% graduated percent fee on sales of $1 million or more. Attorney representation is customary on both sides of a New Jersey closing. The city page below carries its own median price, days on market, and trend.

The county records double as a legitimacy check for any company that offers to buy your house. The entity name on its contract should exist on the New Jersey Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services registry, deeds and liens it records appear in the Essex County Register's records, and a licensed New Jersey title company can confirm whether it actually closes files. The clause to look for in any offer is 'and/or assigns': it means the signer plans to sell your contract to someone else rather than buy your house.

### How does foreclosure work in Essex County?

New Jersey foreclosure is judicial. Uncontested residential cases run through the state's Office of Foreclosure; contested cases go to the Chancery Division at the Essex vicinage. Timelines are measured in years. You can sell any time before the sheriff's sale; the proceeds pay off the lender and stop the case.

### What does it cost to sell a house in Essex County?

New Jersey's realty transfer fee is graduated, roughly $2.90 to $6.05 per $500 of consideration on sales above $350,000, paid at recording, with a 1% fee added on sales of $1 million or more. Your written offer shows every cost line by line, including which of those InTym Properties covers, before you sign.

### My property is in an estate or has a municipal tax-sale lien. Can I still get an offer?

Yes. Estates close when the Essex County Surrogate's Court issues letters, and tax-sale liens are paid off at closing like any other lien. Your written offer shows the payoff math line by line.

### How fast can you close in Essex County?

As soon as 7 days if title is clear, longer if you need it. New Jersey's attorney review period and customary attorney closings stretch a financed sale; the InTym Properties version is one walkthrough, one written offer, one date you pick.
