Foreclosure in New Jersey moves through Superior Court, and the Atlantic County sheriff conducts the auction at the end. The homeowner generally has 35 days to answer a complaint, and after final judgment the sheriff must advertise the sale for at least four weeks. For an investor holding a rental, one point matters early: the free foreclosure mediation program is aimed at owner-occupants.
No obligation. We respond within 24 hours.
Kaizen Home Buyers buys properties for cash as-is, with no repairs and no agent commission. We make an offer within 24 hours, and closing takes 14 to 30 days or follows your timeline. Atlantic City's older multifamily, converted units and bungalows are all part of what we review. We buy rentals as well as homes people live in, and we say so up front.
The Courts' mediation instructions describe owner-occupants of one to four family homes with the property as a primary residence who are not in bankruptcy, and all borrowers must agree. If you own an Atlantic City rental you do not live in, the program may not fit. Talk to a foreclosure attorney about your options and your deadlines instead of waiting for a mediation date.
The Atlantic County Sheriff's Office page lists a Sheriff Sales Unit, with sales on Thursdays at noon in the Criminal Courthouse at 4997 Unami Boulevard, Mays Landing. The county says properties are advertised for four consecutive weeks. Call 609-909-7225 or review the county's foreclosure sales listing for your address. Sale dates are often adjourned, so confirm with the plaintiff's attorney. The county page also says properties are advertised in local newspapers for four consecutive weeks, so there is public notice before a sale.
If tenants live in your building, New Jersey Courts says a residential tenancy is generally not affected by foreclosure, and the buyer at a sheriff's sale takes the building subject to tenant rights. After the sale, the lender must seek a writ of possession so the sheriff can remove occupants. A buyer before sale will want leases and a rent ledger, and so will your attorney.
Send what you have, including the number of units and the court papers. We make an as-is cash offer, and the title company orders the official payoff. You compare the two. If a sheriff's sale is near, tell us the date first, since timing can decide whether a cash closing works. Investors sometimes hold several mortgaged properties at once. Send each address and we will review them one by one.
We cannot stop a foreclosure, deal with the servicer or give legal advice. A signed contract does not cancel a judgment or a sale date. Keep following every notice, and speak to an attorney about your options. To price a sale, call 267-329-0084.
