We buy houses in Sussex County, NJ
Sell your house fast in Sussex County, NJ, for cash and as-is.
A house in Sussex County can take more upkeep than you have time or money for. Maybe the lake place in Hopatcong needs work, or you're ready to leave a bigger home in Sparta. We buy houses for cash across the county, from Newton to Vernon and Wantage, as-is.
Tell us the address and what's happening with the property. We'll give you a cash offer within 24 hours. A leaking roof, rooms full of furniture or a kitchen you never got around to updating can stay as they are. You don't need an agent, and you choose a settlement date that fits your move.

The kinds of Sussex County houses we buy
An older house near Newton's Spring Street has different repair needs from a lake cottage in Hopatcong or a split-level in Byram. We look at the house you actually own. An enclosed porch might have a soft floor, a basement might smell damp, or the bathroom might still have its original fixtures. If you have a well or septic system, tell us what you know about its condition. You don't have to hire crews to make the property look finished before we see it.
We buy ranches, larger homes with stairs you no longer want to climb, and rural properties with outbuildings that need attention. A house in Wantage with a long driveway can become too much to maintain after a move or a change in health. A Vernon property that sits empty can still cost you money every month. We account for the work in our offer so you can decide whether selling now makes sense for you.
The Sussex County situations we buy in
A lake house that needs work
If your Hopatcong cottage has become a repair project, you may spend each visit fixing something instead of using it. A sagging deck or damp crawl space can make preparing for a listing expensive. Tell us about the problems you already know about. We can buy the property with that work still waiting.
Winter damage in an empty home
Keeping an empty Sussex County house heated through winter is another bill when you've already moved. If a pipe froze or snow exposed a roof leak, you may be facing damaged ceilings as well as the original repair. We buy houses with that damage. You don't need to repaint the rooms before asking for an offer.
An older home with too many repairs
Your Franklin or Newton house may be comfortable to live in but need more work than you want to take on for a sale. Old wiring, worn windows and a tired furnace can turn into a long list after a buyer's inspection. We look at those conditions upfront and make a cash offer for the house as it stands.
Behind on the mortgage
New Jersey foreclosures go through court. Sussex County advertises sheriff's sales for four weeks in a row before the first sale date. If you want to sell before that auction, send us the notice. Settlement pays off the lender and stops the sale.
Sorting out an inherited property
You might live far from the house you inherited in Branchville or Stillwater. Every trip to empty another room takes time, and deciding what to keep can be hard. Take the belongings you want. We can buy with the rest left behind and arrange settlement when the estate paperwork is ready for you to sign.
Leaving a rental behind
If you're done managing a rental in Sussex Borough or Hamburg, you don't have to renovate it for another tenant before selling. We buy occupied rentals and houses left vacant between leases. Tell us about the lease and the property's condition, and we'll discuss the tenants with you as we work out the purchase.
How selling for cash works in Sussex County
Start with a call or the form and give us your Sussex County address. We review the property and send an offer within 24 hours. When you accept, a title company checks the title and handles settlement, including the lender payoff. You pick the date. We can close in 30 days or less, or work with a later date if you need time to pack.
Foreclosure in New Jersey goes through court. The lender's attorney asks a judge for a judgment before the house goes to auction. Sussex County sheriff's sales happen on the first Wednesday of the month, except holidays, at 2 p.m. They are held at the Historic Sussex County Courthouse, 3 High Street in Newton. Each sale is advertised for four weeks in a row before the first sale date.
Selling before the auction pays off the lender at settlement and stops the sale. Tell us the scheduled date when you call so we can work toward settlement before it arrives. You can start while the house still needs repairs or has belongings inside.
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 Sussex County 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 Sussex County is worth about $369,400. List a house like that and a six percent commission is $22,164 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.
