West Long Branch, Monmouth County
What we see in West Long Branch
West Long Branch is a borough of about 8,600 people covering under three square miles between Long Branch and Eatontown, with Ocean Township to the south and Oceanport to the north. It split from Eatontown in 1908, after residents of the West Long Branch section pushed for separation over taxes. The borough is home to Monmouth University, whose 159-acre campus includes the Great Hall at Shadow Lawn, a National Historic Landmark. The 2020 census counted about 2,750 housing units, with a homeowner vacancy rate of just 0.3 percent.

Next to Monmouth University
Monmouth University, founded in 1933 and in West Long Branch since 1955, has about 5,600 students and more than a dozen residence halls and apartment complexes. Homes near campus can attract student renters. If you own a rental near the university and want out of landlording, we buy with tenants in place and take over the leases.
Former estate country
West Long Branch was once home to large summer estates, which is why Eatontown resisted the 1908 split; the Guggenheim house and the Shadow Lawn mansion now belong to the university. The borough's older homes can need roofs, wiring, and plumbing updates. We buy older West Long Branch houses as-is and handle the work ourselves.
A very tight market
Homeowner vacancy in West Long Branch was only 0.3 percent at the 2020 census, so few houses are on the market at once. Buyers in a tight market still tend to want updated homes. If yours needs work or is full of belongings, we can buy it as-is without repairs, showings, or a clean-out.

Questions from West Long Branch sellers
West Long Branch FAQ
Can you buy my West Long Branch house that I rent to Monmouth University students?
Yes. We buy tenant-occupied homes, including student rentals, and take over the existing leases at closing.
Do you buy older West Long Branch homes that need a lot of work?
Yes. We buy as-is for cash and price the repairs into our offer, so you do not have to fix anything first.
Do all the heirs have to agree before an inherited house can be sold?
In New Jersey, an inherited house is sold through the estate, so the executor or court-appointed administrator signs the sale. We talk with each heir separately and privately, so no one has to negotiate as a group, and we'll walk you through getting an administrator appointed if that hasn't happened yet.
How fast can you close on a West Long Branch house?
Thirty days is typical, and clean files can move faster. If you need more time, we'll write the date you want into the contract.
Are you a local company?
Yes. We're a New Jersey company based in Toms River, and we buy in all 21 counties, including Monmouth County. We are BBB accredited with an A+ rating, listed under our affiliate Gembrook Properties.
