Boston, MA · Suffolk County seller guide
USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Boston and Suffolk County. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
The short answer
You can list with an agent, sell the house yourself, or compare the written terms for a direct Cash Offer or EZ Sale. Start with the actual property, who owns and occupies it, what needs work, what is owed, and when you need to decide. The useful number is what you would keep after the costs and obligations that apply to this house—not just the asking price or first offer amount.
Start with the address and what you know about condition, occupancy, and timing. We can talk through your questions before you decide.
Share the property address, condition, and timing.
Compare the choices
A listing can suit a seller who wants to market the house publicly and manage preparation, showings, buyer questions, and negotiation. Compare the likely sale price with repair or cleanout work, any agent commission, deeds excise, carrying costs, and the time needed to reach closing. Get the representation terms in writing.
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.
Compare the written numbers and terms, then use the calculator to see how other costs change the amount you keep. We review title, payoff, occupancy, and who has authority to sell. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs we pay.

Yes. A Boston estate house may be sold to an arm's-length buyer by the personal representative appointed by the Probate and Family Court. Being an heir or named in a will does not by itself authorize you to sign. For the sale to be conclusive, the will must give a power to sell or the court must grant a license; without a will, a license is required, with consent of interested parties or notice to them. We review the representative's authority with the closing professionals. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.

Yes. A sale does not end a Massachusetts tenancy at will; the buyer becomes the landlord, and a written lease still matters. The security deposit and accrued interest must be transferred to the buyer, and prepaid last month's rent and its accrued interest must be credited. We review occupancy and the possession plan with the closing professionals.
A sale may still be possible if the mortgage can be paid off before the auction. Most Massachusetts mortgage foreclosures use the mortgage's power of sale rather than a judge deciding the foreclosure. For an eligible owner-occupied home with one to four units, the lender must send a right-to-cure notice and allow 90 days to cure before acceleration; this right is available once in five years. A loan-modification review can extend the period to as long as 150 days for certain higher-risk loans. Auction notice is published weekly for three weeks, starting at least 21 days before the sale, and mailed to the owner at least 14 days before. The right to redeem ends at the sale. We review the payoff and current sale date with the title company.
Our agreement of sale will often get a foreclosure sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think.
