Question 1

How does the cash buying process work in Boston?

Accepted Answer

Submit your property info or call 888-274-5006. We review and send a written cash offer within 24 hours when the property fits. Closing timing, MA deed excise stamps, and other closing-cost items are reviewed in writing before you decide. Your attorney reviews everything at closing.

Question 2

How much do you pay for Boston homes?

Accepted Answer

For average-condition properties, cash offers typically land around 70–80% of fair market value — before factoring in repair costs, property condition, title issues, holding costs, and risk adjustments specific to your home. Boston neighborhoods vary enormously — Mattapan homes may list at $450K-$600K while Back Bay exceeds $1M. We provide written offers based on comparable sales and condition.

Question 3

Do you really buy in any condition?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Lead paint, old wiring, failed boilers, fire damage, code violations, foundation issues, mold, hoarding — we buy it all. Boston's housing stock ranges from 200+ year old row houses to early 1900s triple-deckers.

Question 4

What closing costs do I pay?

Accepted Answer

None. We cover everything including MA deed excise stamps ($4.56 per $1,000), title, recording, and attorney fees. On a traditional sale, the seller pays stamps plus 5-6% commission.

Question 5

Do I need a lawyer?

Accepted Answer

Massachusetts is an attorney state — both buyer and seller have their own attorney at closing. We cover your attorney costs.

Question 6

How is this different from listing?

Accepted Answer

Traditional Boston listing: 30+ days to get an offer, 45-60 days to close, 5-6% commission ($41K-$50K on an $829K home), repairs required. With us: offer in 24 hours, close in 7-14 days, no commission, no repairs, no financing risk.

Question 7

What areas do you cover?

Accepted Answer

All of Greater Boston: every Boston neighborhood, Cambridge, Somerville, Quincy, Brookline, Chelsea, Revere, Winthrop. Suffolk, Middlesex, and Norfolk Counties.

Question 8

Is there any obligation?

Accepted Answer

Zero. The form and call are free. We send a written offer — take it, leave it, or think about it.
