We buy houses in Newark, NJ
Sell your house fast in Newark, NJ, for cash and as-is.
A Newark house can have a rented apartment upstairs and a floor downstairs that needs work. Or it can be the family home in Weequahic that you kept up as long as you could. We buy houses for cash across the city, from the Ironbound to Vailsburg, in the condition they're in today.
Send us the address and tell us what's going on. We'll send a cash offer within 24 hours. Leave the worn carpet, the furniture and the unfinished repairs. You don't clean, you don't hire an agent and there are no closing costs. You decide when you move.

Newark housing by the numbers
- 310,178
- Residents
- $373,700
- Median home value
- 1966
- Typical home built
- 24.4%
- Owner-occupied homes
Newark's median year built is 1966, so many houses need more than fresh paint before a buyer will move in. Only 24.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, so a lot of owners are landlords. If a new roof or another apartment rehab would cost money you don't have, you can sell as-is instead.

The kinds of Newark houses we buy
Newark has attached homes and small multifamily buildings as well as detached houses. In an older house, the expense is often behind the walls: plumbing that needs attention, aging wiring or a heating system you're tired of keeping alive. Tell us about those problems when we look at the property. You don't have to cover them up with a renovation.
A two-family brings a different repair bill. One kitchen might be updated while the other still needs everything, and a roof leak hits both households. We look at the whole building and put the work into our cash price. We buy single-family houses, attached homes and small multifamily properties, including places with occupied units or rooms full of belongings. You don't have to get every space ready for photos and showings.
The Newark situations we buy in
An older two-family that needs work
If your Ironbound or Roseville property has one apartment ready to rent and another stripped down to the walls, finishing it may mean another round of bills. You can show us both units as they stand. We account for the unfinished work in the offer, so you don't need to borrow money to prepare the building for sale.
A detached home that's too much to keep
A Forest Hill house or a detached home in Vailsburg can become more space than you want to heat and maintain. Maybe the upstairs rooms sit unused while the exterior keeps needing attention. We can buy with the old windows and worn siding still there. Choose a settlement date that gives you room to pack and find your next place.
Managing a Newark rental from elsewhere
When you live outside Newark, a repair at your Clinton Hill rental can take up the whole day. If you're tired of arranging access or covering expenses between tenants, we buy with tenants in place. Tell us which units are occupied and what needs attention. We'll work through the handoff with you rather than asking you to empty the building first.
A home left to you by family
An inherited place in Weequahic may still hold everything your family kept there. Sorting it all while paying for an empty house can be hard. Take the belongings you want and leave the rest. We can discuss an offer while the estate paperwork is being finished, then settle when you're able to sign for the property.
Behind on the mortgage
Newark mortgage foreclosures go through court. Essex County advertises a property for four weeks before the sheriff's sale, so a sale date on your paperwork means call now. Tell us that date when you reach out. If we buy before the auction, your lender is paid off at settlement and the sale stops. The earlier you call, the more room we have to work around your deadline.
Basement water and heating repairs
If winter has left you with a leaking pipe or a boiler that won't keep the house warm, preparing for a sale can feel out of reach. Basement water and damaged plaster add more work in an older Newark home. We can look at the damage as it is and make an offer without asking you to finish repairs first.
How selling for cash works in Newark
Call us or use the form with your Newark address. We review the house and send an offer within 24 hours. Once you accept, a title company handles settlement, checks the title and arranges the mortgage payoff. You pick the date. We can close in 30 days or less, or choose a later date if you need more time in the house.
New Jersey foreclosures go through the courts. The lender's attorney takes the case to Superior Court, and the sheriff then sells the house. In Essex County, sheriff's sales are held every Tuesday except legal holidays at 1:30 p.m. in Room 216-I of the Veterans Courthouse, 50 West Market Street in Newark. The sheriff advertises the property for four weeks before the auction.
If your house is headed for that sale, tell us the date along with the address. We set settlement before the auction, the sale proceeds pay off your lender and the sheriff's sale is stopped. You don't have to finish a bathroom or replace the heating system first. Starting early gives the title company time to prepare the payoff and settlement paperwork.
How it works
Three steps to a cash sale.
Tell us about the house
Fill out the short form or give us a call. Share the address, the condition and what's going on. That's all we need to get started.
Get your cash offer
We review the house and send you a fair cash offer within 24 hours. You'll see how we got to the number, and you're under no obligation to take it.
Close on your date
You pick the closing date. We can close in 30 days or less, or later if you need more time. A title company handles the paperwork and you walk away with cash.
Run the numbers on a Newark sale
Our cash offer will come in under what your house would list for. Anyone who tells you otherwise is setting up a renegotiation after you have already committed.
What counts is what you walk away with. The median home in Newark is worth about $373,700. List a house like that and a six percent commission is $22,422 before you pay for a single repair. Add whatever the buyer's inspection asks you to fix, plus months of mortgage, taxes, insurance and utilities while it sits. Then put our number next to that.
Sometimes listing still comes out ahead, and when it does, you should list. We'd rather tell you that than buy a house you end up wishing you had kept on the market.

What sellers say about working with Mal
"Malachi saved us from losing everything. We closed in 9 days and walked away with cash in hand. He was honest the whole way through — no pressure, no games."
"I was three months behind and didn't know what to do. Memorable Home Buyers explained everything clearly and made a fair offer the same day I called. Highly recommend."
"Malachi was a pleasure to work with. We inherited a home that we could not pay the repairs on. He gave us a fair price, and closed exactly when he said he would. Was a quick, easy and very convenient process."
"I had only 8 days left to stop my foreclosure. Malachi came in and showed me what options I had left, and once we agreed on me selling he purchased the home and was able to prevent that stuff on my record. I appreciate him for helping us."
"Me and my husband had a property we just didn't want to deal with anymore. It had leaks in the roof, needed a new water heater and a bunch of other stuff we didn't have the energy to fix anymore. Mal gave us a fair cash offer and made our downsizing process simple"
Our promise to you
What you can hold us to when you sell
You deal with Mal from the first call to closing day. These are the four things we promise on every house.
The number holds
The offer we agree on is the number on your settlement statement, as long as the house matches what you told us on the phone. If the walkthrough turns up something big that never came up, we show you exactly what changed before anything moves forward.
A contract you can read
Our purchase agreement is written in plain English. Take it home, show it to family, and ask us about any line before you sign.
You pick the date
Tell us the closing date you need on the first call. If we can't make it, we'll say so right then, before you've committed to anything.
The truth, even if we lose the deal
If your house would sell for more with an agent, we'll tell you. Some people don't need a cash buyer, and we'd rather you hear that from us.
