Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not only the sale price
Your net proceeds depend on the written price and the obligations tied to the property. A listing price is not the amount you keep. Compare possible listing and cash-sale numbers using your own repair, selling-cost, payoff, and carrying-cost assumptions.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Massachusetts deeds excise. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.

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.

Greenfield seller questions, answered
What is the difference between a Cash Offer and EZ Sale?
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.
How quickly can I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. The offer and written terms let you review the price and responsibilities before you decide.
How do I compare the sale price with what I would keep?
What you keep is the net amount after the sale price and property obligations are accounted for. A listing price is not the same as net proceeds; compare the written sale price with the payoff, liens, back taxes, your current property-tax share, and the costs of each sale path.
Who pays the closing costs and Massachusetts deeds excise?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Massachusetts deeds excise. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
Can I still sell a Massachusetts house when foreclosure is underway?
A sale may still be possible if the loan can be paid off before the auction. Most Massachusetts foreclosures use the mortgage's power of sale, without a judge deciding the case. The lender usually files a Servicemembers case in Land Court first, but that case only checks whether the owner is protected as a servicemember. 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 accelerating the loan. This right is available once in a five-year period. A loan-modification review can extend that to as long as 150 days for certain riskier loans. The sale is a public auction run by the lender or its agent or attorney. Notice is published once a week 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. Have the title company or an attorney confirm the current sale date and amount needed. 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.

Can I ask about an inherited house before I have every estate paper?
Yes. You can call before every document is gathered. Start with the Greenfield address, the condition you know, who is involved, and any notice or deadline you are working with.
What should I share about a tenant-occupied Greenfield house?
Start with who lives there, what you know about the lease, and any timing or notice question. That gives us the occupancy context for a conversation about the property.
Need a local records starting point?
For a question about a recorded deed, mortgage, or lien on a Greenfield property, start with the Franklin County Registry of Deeds. The City of Greenfield Treasurer/Collector handles real-estate tax collection, water and sewer bills, and related city collection questions. A title company or attorney can confirm the payoff and closing treatment for a specific sale.
