Why Your Home Inspection Addendum Could Leave You Unprotected in New Jersey

The inspection found issues. The seller agreed to fix them. You think the hard part is over.

It isn't.

What most buyers don't realize is that the protection isn't in what the inspection found — it's in how the repair requests are written into the contract addendum.

Vague language like "seller agrees to repair roof" leaves massive gaps: Which section? Repaired to what standard? By a licensed contractor? Verified before closing? What's the remedy if it's not done?

If those answers aren't in the addendum, you may show up to closing with repairs done cheaply, done incorrectly, or not done at all — with limited legal recourse.

The same goes for credits. Accepting a seller credit instead of a completed repair can feel like a win — until the actual repair costs more than the credit you accepted.

Inspection addendums are a negotiation. Attorney Paolo Bruno explains the most common mistakes buyers make and how to protect yourself at this critical stage.

When a home appraises below the purchase price, buyers face a critical decision: cover the gap out of pocket, renegotiate with the seller, challenge the appraisal, or walk away.

Which option you actually have depends entirely on how your contract was written before the appraisal ever happened.

If you waived your appraisal contingency to compete in a bidding war, your options narrow significantly. This is why contract language matters — not in the moment of crisis, but weeks before it.

Know your options before you waive anything.

You closed on the property. But the tenant isn't leaving.

In New Jersey, tenant protections are among the strongest in the country — and they survive a change in ownership.

When you buy a tenant-occupied property, you inherit the lease, the tenant's rights, and all of the legal obligations that come with them.

Month-to-month tenants cannot simply be told to leave. Under New Jersey's Anti-Eviction Act, you need legal cause for removal — even if you plan to move in yourself.

The process has strict requirements, and skipping any step exposes you to liability.

Before closing on any investment property or tenant-occupied home in New Jersey, your attorney should review the existing lease, confirm the tenant's status, and make sure the contract includes the right representations from the seller.

We'll help you avoid the surprises.

Today is Tax Day — but for New Jersey homeowners, the more important tax conversation might not be about your income at all.

It might be about your property.

New Jersey has some of the highest property tax rates in the country, and thousands of homeowners overpay every year because their property is assessed above its actual market value — and they never challenge it.

Here's what you should know: you have the legal right to appeal your property tax assessment in New Jersey. The process involves comparing your assessed value against recent comparable sales.

If the numbers don't align, you have grounds for an appeal — and a successful one doesn't just save you money this year. It reduces your base assessment going forward, compounding your savings annually.

The deadline is typically April 1st. If you missed this cycle, now is the time to start building your case for next year.
Residential, commercial, industrial — Bruno Law Group handles all of it.

There's no such thing as a "standard" contract in New Jersey real estate — and believing there is could cost you thousands.

Every clause is negotiable.

Every term can be modified.

The buyers and sellers who get hurt are the ones who signed without asking questions because someone told them it was just standard practice.

At Bruno Law Group, we review contracts before you sign — and we find the language that was never in your favor to begin with.

Don't be fooled by "standard." Be protected.

We understand that thinking about the future, especially the difficult parts, is never easy. But taking time to plan ahead is one of the most compassionate and caring steps you can take for the people you love.

When someone passes away without a will (legally known as dying “intestate”), it can create confusion, conflict, and unintended consequences for their loved ones.

Here are five important things that can happen without a will:

1️⃣ The state decides who gets what - Your assets are distributed based on state law, which may leave out important people in your life like unmarried partners or close friends.
2️⃣ The probate process gets longer and more expensive - Without a will, your estate goes through a lengthy court process. This can delay access to funds and increase stress for your family.
3️⃣ The court appoints a guardian and a custodian for your children - If you have minor children and haven’t named either, the decision is left to the court, often without knowing your preferences.
4️⃣ Family disagreements may turn into legal disputes - When there’s no clear plan, misunderstandings can turn into serious conflicts among family members.
5️⃣ Pets and dependents may be overlooked - Without specific instructions, pets and other dependents might not receive the care you intended.

If you’re ready to take the next step, our team is here to help you create a plan that reflects your wishes and protects the people you love. Reach out today.
