We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances.

Costs, signing, occupancy, and deadlines
Massachusetts calls its transfer charge the deeds excise. For a sale over $100, the standard rate is $2.28 for each $500 or fraction of $500—$4.56 per $1,000. It is paid when the deed is recorded. State law places it on the person signing the deed, usually the seller in a home sale.
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.

If the house is sold through the estate, the deed is normally signed by the personal representative appointed by the Probate and Family Court; being an heir or named in the will is not enough. A personal representative can sell estate real estate to an arm's-length buyer, subject to the will and applicable court orders. A surviving spouse or minor children may have homestead rights that affect who signs. An estate-tax lien may need to be cleared before closing.
We can discuss the house and sale details with the personal representative. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.

You don't always need to evict to sell to us. We buy houses with tenants in place — we've done it many times, including cash-for-keys when that works better for everyone. A sale does not end a tenancy at will, and a written lease still matters.
Massachusetts requires the security deposit and its accrued interest to transfer to the buyer, with a credit for prepaid last month’s rent and its accrued interest. The buyer must tell each tenant in writing within 45 days that it now holds the money. We discuss occupancy, the lease, and tenant funds with you as we work through the sale.

A sale may still be possible if the loan can be paid off before the auction. Most Massachusetts mortgage foreclosures use the mortgage’s power of sale. 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 auction 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.
Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement.
