A property-tax notice concerns unpaid property taxes; a mortgage-foreclosure notice concerns the mortgage. Check each notice with the office or lender that sent it. In Massachusetts, mortgage foreclosures commonly use the mortgage's power of sale after required notices. That lender process is separate from a local property-tax sale. For a mortgage notice, see our Northampton foreclosure information; for tax-sale status, contact the municipal office identified on the current tax bill or notice.
Massachusetts calls its transfer charge the deeds excise. For a Northampton sale priced over $100, the standard rate is $2.28 for each $500 or fraction of $500 ($4.56 per $1,000). The excise is paid when the deed is recorded, and state law places it on the person who signs the deed, usually the seller in a home sale. Exceptions can apply, so the closing professional confirms the amount. The deeds excise is a closing cost; mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate amounts.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Massachusetts deeds excise.

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.”
