How a Princeton sale with us runs
Start with the basics
Send the address and say whether the house is in an estate, a trust or your own name.
See the number in writing
We review the home and its condition, then give you a written cash offer. Every closing cost is spelled out in the agreement.
Set the closing
Plan on an inspection of about 10 business days, then closing roughly 2 to 3 weeks later once title clears.
Selling in Princeton: local points
Princeton has been one town since the Borough and Township merged in 2013, so every address falls under a single municipality.
Homes held in a trust
Many Princeton owners put their house in a revocable living trust. Then there is no probate, and the successor trustee can sell once the death certificate is recorded.
Inherited homes in New Jersey →Probate and the short certificate
When the house does go through probate, the executor gets a short certificate (Letters Testamentary) from the Mercer County Surrogate's Court in Trenton. Class A heirs can often file the L-9 waiver for the state inheritance tax.
What a short certificate is →Family homes that need everything
Victorians in the Western Section and mid-century houses in Riverside and Littlebrook have often stayed in one family for decades. Princeton buyers tend to want move-in condition; we buy with the original kitchen, asbestos tile, old wiring or an oil tank.

What Princeton sellers ask us
Do you buy in both Princeton ZIP codes?
Yes, in 08540 and 08542, on either side of the old Borough and Township line.
Will you buy a Princeton condo?
No. We buy houses, not condos or apartments, and not homes already listed for sale. Tell us the property type and we will confirm.
Can a trustee sign instead of an executor?
Yes. If the home is in a trust, the successor trustee signs the sale. Send the deed or the trust certificate so title can be checked.
Does asking for an offer cost anything?
No. Requesting an offer is free, and if you sell there is no agent commission. Your mortgage and any liens are paid off from the proceeds.
