What we take on
You do not need to clean the house, repair fire damage, or haul away debris to sell it to us. We buy the house as it stands, so you can discuss a sale without first arranging a cleanout or restoration.
Insurance proceeds and your mortgage
We buy the house exactly as it stands, and you keep your insurance proceeds.
Confirm how the proceeds and any mortgage requirements apply to your claim with your insurer and mortgage servicer.
What happens next
Tell us what was damaged, whether officials allow access, and what you know about the property. We review the details with you and provide a written offer and written terms before you commit. If you choose to sell to us, closing is through a title company.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Massachusetts deeds excise. That does not include your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes.
Greenfield fire-safety and permit questions
If officials have restricted access or the structure may be unsafe, do not enter. Follow directions for that property from Greenfield Fire Prevention and Building Inspections, your utility provider, and your insurer. Before repair work or debris removal, ask Building Inspections which permits or inspections apply to the address and planned work.
- Contact Greenfield Fire Prevention about fire-related follow-up and property-specific direction.
- Contact Greenfield Building Inspections about building safety, repairs, permits, and inspections.
- For recorded land documents, use the Franklin County Registry of Deeds.

Compare rebuilding with selling
Before choosing, compare the repair estimate, permit and inspection questions, time and cost of carrying the house, and any work you would manage against the net from a sale. Use figures you can support from your own records; an insurance payout or repair outcome is not assumed here.
The calculator can help compare an estimated listing value with what you may net after selling costs. Its result is an estimate, not a written offer.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Both retired, house too big, property taxes $5,200 a year. The house on Belmont Avenue had been good to us but it was time. Our financial advisor suggested we downsize and put the equity to work. USA Home Buyers were straightforward — offer, agreement, closing. Done in nine days. We moved to a condo in West Springfield.”
“My uncle left me a three-family on Oak Street — built in 1922, hadn't been updated since the 1970s. I'm in Florida and couldn't manage it from down here. USA Home Buyers sent a written offer the next day and we closed in 10 days. I didn't have to fly up, didn't have to clean a thing.”
“I got behind after losing my job at MassMutual. The mortgage servicer was already sending notices. USA Home Buyers explained the Massachusetts foreclosure process — it moves fast here — and we closed before it got to auction. I walked away with money I didn't know I could keep.”
