Adjust anything you know, including your payoff, repair or credit risk, cleanout cost, agent commission, and how long you expect to carry the property.

Three simple steps
1
Tell us about your house
Share the address, what needs work and who lives there. Tell us when we can see it and when you want to sell.
2
Get your offer
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
3
Close
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
Your situation
Foreclosure
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.
Fire damage
You keep the insurance money and don't have to worry about the house anymore — we'll take care of it.
Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
Liens and back taxes
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
Tenants
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Code violations
The fines don't stop while you think about it. They pile up, they add new ones, and every month takes another bite out of what the property is worth to you. We can buy it quickly, violations and all, so you stop the bleeding and keep your equity.
Divorce
You only have to agree on one thing — the price. After that we handle the rest, so there's nothing to argue about over repairs, contractors, showings, or who pays for what.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
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.

Boston selling costs: Massachusetts deeds excise
Massachusetts calls its deed-transfer tax the deeds excise. For a Boston deed in Suffolk County, the standard rate is $2.28 for each $500 or fraction of $500 when the price is over $100 — $4.56 per $1,000. On a $100,000 sale, that is $456. The deed excise is paid when the deed is recorded; Massachusetts law places it on the person who signs the deed, normally the seller in a sale, subject to statutory exceptions. The higher combined state-and-county rate applies in Barnstable County, not Suffolk County.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Massachusetts deeds excise. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from that promise.

Questions about selling a house in Boston
Can I sell my Boston house as-is?
Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Boston and Suffolk County, Massachusetts, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
How soon will I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
What deeds excise applies to a Boston house sale?
For a Boston deed in Suffolk County, the standard Massachusetts deeds-excise rate is $2.28 for each $500 or fraction of $500 when the price is over $100. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Massachusetts deeds excise. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
Who can sign an inherited Boston house sale?
The deed is signed by the personal representative appointed by the Probate and Family Court—not simply an heir or someone named in the will. The representative may sell estate property if the will gives authority to sell or the court grants a license; if there is no will, a license is required. Homestead rights or an estate-tax lien can also affect signatures or closing. The Suffolk Probate and Family Court serves Boston.
Will an agreement postpone a Massachusetts foreclosure sale?
A sale may still be possible if the loan can be paid off before the auction. 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. Most Massachusetts foreclosures use the mortgage's power of sale.
What if my Boston house has fire damage?
When we buy the house exactly as it stands, you keep your insurance proceeds. Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
Can you buy a Boston house with open code violations?
The fines don't stop while you think about it. They pile up, they add new ones, and every month takes another bite out of what the property is worth to you. We can buy it quickly, violations and all, so you stop the bleeding and keep your equity. A building inspector can require an unsafe structure to be made safe or removed. An as-is sale does not erase an order.
Can I sell a tenant-occupied house in Boston?
Yes. Selling does not end a residential tenancy at will, and a written lease still matters. At closing, the security deposit and its accrued interest transfer to the buyer, with a credit for prepaid last month’s rent and its accrued interest. The buyer must notify each tenant in writing within 45 days after the transfer.
