For Buyers

Your agent should know more about the home than you do.

Before you tour a single property, we've already pulled the tax records, reviewed the listing data, requested the seller's disclosure, and flagged anything that could waste your time. We're not just showing houses — we're investigating them. School district families, first-time buyers, investors, downsizers, relocators — the approach is the same: do the homework before the showing.

To buy a house in New Jersey, start by getting pre-approved for a mortgage, then identify target towns based on your priorities — commute, budget, schools, lifestyle, or investment potential. Work with a buyer's agent who investigates each property before showing it: tax records, listing history, seller's disclosure, and school zone verification. In NJ, there's a 3-business-day attorney review period after an accepted offer. After inspections and mortgage commitment, closing typically takes 45-60 days. Tang Group serves families, first-time buyers, investors, downsizers, H-1B visa holders, and relocators across Central NJ — Somerset, Middlesex, Mercer, and Morris counties.

The Process
How buying works in New Jersey.
1

Get Pre-Approved

We connect you with lenders who do fully underwritten pre-approvals. This takes 1-2 weeks and makes your offers significantly stronger than standard pre-qualification letters. Pre-approval guide

2

Define Your Priorities

Schools? Commute? Investment? We build your search criteria around what matters most. You see 5 well-vetted homes instead of 25 random showings.

3

Tour & Make an Offer

We investigate each property before you tour: tax records, listing history, flood zones, school assignments. When you find the right home, we submit a competitive offer.

4

Attorney Review (3 Days)

NJ requires a 3-business-day attorney review period after contract signing. Our attorney works evenings and weekends, giving us speed other buyers lack.

5

Inspections & Negotiate

General inspection, radon, termite at minimum. We guide which additional inspections your property needs and negotiate repairs on your behalf. Inspection guide

6

Close & Move In

Mortgage processing, appraisal, title work, final walkthrough — we coordinate everything. Total timeline: 45-60 days from accepted offer to keys in hand.

"When you are a 6-hour flight away, your realtor is the only person you can rely on. Holly was that person for us. She handled everything while we were overseas."

Common Questions
Buyer FAQ
In most NJ transactions, the seller pays the buyer agent's commission — so you get full representation at no direct cost. Since the 2024 NAR settlement, buyers sign a written agreement before touring. We keep it flexible: property-by-property, no long-term lock-in. Our fee (typically 2% in our market) is negotiated as part of your offer. If a rare situation arises where a seller won't cover it, we discuss options before you proceed. How commissions work →
From accepted offer to closing: typically 45-60 days. The search phase varies — in competitive markets, well-prepared buyers can find a home in 2-6 weeks. The full timeline: get pre-approved (1-2 weeks), search and make offers (2-10 weeks), attorney review (3 business days), inspections (1-2 weeks), mortgage processing and appraisal (3-4 weeks), closing.

The most sought-after include West Windsor-Plainsboro, Montgomery Township, Princeton, and Bridgewater-Raritan. Each has different strengths — WW-P for academic rigor, Montgomery for community feel and larger lots, Princeton for cultural richness, Bridgewater-Raritan for balanced academics and athletics. But "best" depends on your priorities. Compare all 15 districts →
Three things: a fully underwritten pre-approval (not just pre-qualification), clean terms with strategic contingencies, and timing. We submit offers in the evening when competing agents have stopped working — first on the listing agent's desk by morning. Your financing documentation is prepared before we start looking.
Yes. H-1B holders can purchase property and get conventional mortgages. Most lenders want 2+ years of U.S. work history and a 620+ credit score. Some specialize in visa-holder mortgages with more flexible requirements. We work with several. H-1B buyer guide →
Absolutely. School districts are our deepest expertise, but we serve all buyer types across Somerset, Middlesex, Mercer, Morris, Bergen, Hunterdon, and Hudson counties. Singles, couples, investors, downsizers, commercial buyers — whatever your priority, we build the search around it.

It depends on your timeline, location, and finances. In Central NJ, buying typically wins after 3-5 years when you factor in equity, appreciation, and tax deductions. NJ's high property taxes extend the break-even vs. lower-tax states. We built a calculator with NJ-specific data to help you compare. Run the numbers →
