Monmouth and Ocean counties: the Freehold sheriff's sale, two surrogates and Asbury Park's resale certificate
Monmouth County's sheriff holds foreclosure auctions at the Public Safety Center, 2500 Kozloski Road, Freehold, every other Monday at 1:00 p.m., moving to Tuesday when the Monday is a holiday. The plaintiff's attorney opens at $1,000 and bids rise by $1,000. The winning bidder produces a 20 percent deposit at the auction and has 30 days to pay the rest. The owner can redeem up to 10 days after the sale. Nobody may inspect the property beforehand, and every sale is subject to the first mortgage and any municipal, state or federal liens. A sale can be adjourned, settled, cancelled or stopped by a bankruptcy at any time. The current list can be picked up in person weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Estates in the two counties
Monmouth County's Surrogate is in the Hall of Records, 1 East Main Street, Freehold, 732-431-7330. Ocean County's is at 118 Washington Street in Toms River, (732) 929-2011, open weekdays 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with no appointment needed, and it also sees people at a Southern Service Center in Manahawkin on Fridays by appointment. The Ocean office issues surrogate certificates on the 11th day after a death when there is a will and on the 6th day when there is none, and an executor or administrator can come in earlier to start. It takes cash, check or money order, but no cards.
Asbury Park: resale and vacant property
In Asbury Park, a Certificate of Resale Compliance application must be completed before a purchase or sale closes. Vacant properties must be registered with the city and kept safe and maintained, and Code Enforcement applies the state's Abandoned Property Rehabilitation Act to neglected buildings. A violation starts with a Notice of Violation, which gives the owner time to fix it before a summons. The maintenance code reaches doors, electrical, heating, plumbing, roofs, siding, sidewalks, garbage and weeds. Code Enforcement is at 1 Municipal Plaza, 732-502-5742. A rental needs a Certificate of Rental Compliance before each new tenant moves in, and buildings with three or more rental units file an annual lease information registration under the Rent Leveling ordinance.
Asbury Park taxes
Tax and Sewer Collections, 1st Floor North at 1 Municipal Plaza, is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, 732-502-5198. A payment that misses the 10-day grace period is charged interest from the due date. Municipal charges still unpaid on November 10 go into the accelerated tax sale the next day, which usually takes place in mid-December. Tax sale and lien payments must be made in cash, certified check or money order.

What NJ sellers say
Real results from Monmouth-Ocean-area homeowners

“Settling my grandmother's estate in Monmouth-Ocean with multiple heirs across the country. Close With Creative coordinated with our probate attorney, handled remote notarization for out-of-state heirs, and closed without anyone flying in.”
Karen B.
Monmouth-Ocean, NJ
“I was 2 months behind on my mortgage and the mortgage company was sending scary letters every week. Close With Creative called me back within 4 hours, explained my options clearly, and we closed in 11 days. They literally saved my house from foreclosure.”
Margaret A.
New Brunswick-Lakewood, NJ
“My grandmother passed and left me her house in Vineland-Bridgeton. It needed everything — mold, outdated wiring, and a bad roof. I live across the country away and couldn't deal with contractors. They bought it as-is and I had a check in 21 days. The novation option got me $22K more than the cash offer.”
Linda B.
Vineland-Bridgeton, NJ
“I had a rental property in Camden with tenants who hadn't paid rent in 5 months. Every cash buyer I called gave me a lowball number. These guys presented four different options — I picked novation and got $18K more than the next best offer.”
Sandra D.
Camden, NJ
“Job relocation from Jersey City to Seattle with 3 weeks notice. I couldn't list and wait. They had an offer in my hands the next morning and we closed before I started my new job. The creative finance option was something no other buyer even mentioned.”

Selling a house in Monmouth-Ocean, NJ — common questions
Do you buy houses anywhere in the Monmouth-Ocean area?
Yes. We buy throughout the Monmouth-Ocean area and across New Jersey, in any condition and any price band. If the property is outside that metro but still in New Jersey, we still buy it.
How fast can I get an offer on my Monmouth-Ocean home?
Within 24 hours of telling us about the property. That covers all four structures, not just a cash number. Cash and wholesale close in 7-14 days and 14-30 days; creative finance and novation take longer because they pay more.
How fast can I sell my house in New Jersey?
Close With Creative provides a competitive cash or creative financing offer within 24 hours of evaluating your New Jersey property. If you accept, we can close in as little as 7 to 14 days, or on whichever date fits your timeline. New Jersey is an attorney-closing state — both parties typically have attorneys.
Do I need to make repairs before selling my New Jersey home?
No. We buy all New Jersey properties completely as-is. You do not need to clean, paint, repair the roof, fix the foundation, or address code violations. We handle all maintenance and renovation after closing.
Are there any fees or commissions when selling to Close With Creative in New Jersey?
Zero. No agent commissions, no listing fees, no closing costs. New Jersey charges a tiered Realty Transfer Fee ranging from $2 per $500 to $6.05 per $500 depending on value. We cover all transfer fees. The offer you accept is exactly what you receive at closing.

We purchase single-family homes, townhouses, condos, duplexes, multi-family properties, mobile homes, vacant land, and commercial properties throughout New Jersey. Any condition — fire damage, water damage, outdated, code violations, or perfectly maintained.
How does New Jersey's foreclosure process work?
New Jersey uses judicial foreclosure through the Superior Court Chancery Division, one of the slowest in the nation at 12-24 months. Selling to Close With Creative before foreclosure completes protects your credit and preserves your equity.
What is the difference between a cash offer and creative financing in New Jersey?
A cash offer means we pay the full price at closing using our own funds, typically within 7 to 14 days. Creative financing structures the purchase over time, often resulting in a higher total payout — sometimes 90% to 110% of market value. We present both options along with novation and wholesale paths so New Jersey sellers can choose the best fit.
Can I sell my New Jersey house if I still have a mortgage?
Yes. Most New Jersey homeowners who sell to us still carry a mortgage. At closing, your existing mortgage is paid off from the sale proceeds through the attorney. If you owe more than your home is worth, we may still have creative solutions available.
