Frequently asked questions.
Who can apply?
We are confirming this with the City. What we know now is that priority goes to applicants who plan to live in the property as their primary residence.
How much is the deposit, and what happens if I do not close?
We are confirming this with the City. Join the list below and we will tell you first.
Can I buy a vacant lot on its own?
Vacant lots are not sold individually unless a specific listing says otherwise.
Who reviews my application?
The Department of Housing and Economic Development reviews applications with the Mayor and legal counsel, then City Council makes the final decision.
Do I need financing in place before I apply?
We are confirming this with the City. In the meantime, it is smart to start organizing your financing or cash plan now.
What happens after closing?
The City’s process includes a title search, a closing, and a Certificate of Completion afterward. Exact steps and timing are still being confirmed.
Can investors, LLCs, or organizations apply?
We are confirming this with the City. Join the list below and we will tell you first.
What does it cost to work with Finca Realty?
Our standard buyer representation fee is 3% of the purchase price or $5,000, whichever is greater. Any commission paid by the seller’s side is credited against that amount, so you only pay the difference, if any. We will confirm your exact number in writing, in a buyer representation agreement, before you tour any property.
Can Finca Realty guarantee my application will be approved?
No. The City of Trenton makes all final decisions on every application. Finca Realty is not affiliated with the City and cannot influence or guarantee any outcome. We are here to help you understand and complete the process.
