From North Cambridge to Cambridgeport, we buy Cambridge homes for cash in any condition. Get a fair, no-obligation offer within 24 hours and close on the date that works for you.
Cambridge is the most closely watched housing market in Massachusetts: thirteen official neighborhoods packed between the Charles River and the Somerville line, anchored by Harvard, MIT, and the Kendall Square biotech cluster, with Boston across the river and Arlington, Belmont, and Watertown to the west. When you need to sell here, Boston Investors makes one fair, written cash offer within 24 hours, skips the inspections and financing contingencies, and lets you pick your closing date, usually two to four weeks from a signed agreement.
Sellers with polished Cambridge properties do fine on the open market, but that competition is for turnkey homes. If you own a tired triple-decker off Massachusetts Avenue in North Cambridge, an estate Victorian in Mid-Cambridge that hasn't been touched in decades, a rowhouse in The Port, or a dated condo between Central and Kendall, a traditional listing means renovation quotes, staging, and buyers who expect perfection at this price tier. We buy as-is. No repairs, no cleanout, no fees on your side.
Condition is not a disqualifier here. We buy houses that need everything and houses that need nothing, and the difference shows up in the number rather than in whether we are interested. We close with a local Massachusetts attorney and move on your timeline, not ours.
Inherited a family Victorian in Mid-Cambridge or a two-family in North Cambridge? We work with Middlesex County probate timelines and keep the process simple.
Sitting on decades of Cambridge equity in a home with too many stairs? We buy as-is so there's nothing to fix or stage.
Offloading a tenant-occupied multi-family near Harvard or Central Square? We close without tenant complications.
Cambridge buyers pay a premium and expect perfection to match. A century-old Victorian with knob-and-tube wiring, a triple-decker with sagging porches, a condo with an unfinished renovation: none of it stops our offer. Whatever shape your Cambridge property is in, we make a fair cash offer and close on your schedule.
No open houses, no waiting on buyer financing, no surprises at the closing table. Just three straightforward steps from first contact to cash in hand.
Fill out the short form or call us at (617) 539-6162. Share basic details about your Cambridge home: address, condition, and your ideal timeline. Takes less than two minutes.
We review the details, pull recent comparable sales from your specific neighborhood, whether that's North Cambridge, Cambridgeport, or East Cambridge, and deliver a fair, written cash offer within 24 hours. No obligation to accept.
Accept the offer and choose your closing date. Two to four weeks from a signed agreement is the normal case, and we confirm the date once the closing attorney has checked title. We handle the paperwork, cover closing costs, and wire your payment at closing.

Most sellers are surprised by how little they need to do. We designed our process to put the work on our side, not yours.
Leave the furniture, the decades of books, the full basement of a longtime Cambridge home. Take what matters to you and walk away. Our team handles full cleanout at our cost, zero charge to you.
Knob-and-tube wiring, slate roofs past their lifespan, sagging triple-decker porches, systems original to the building: we factor repair costs into our offer and handle everything after closing. You'll never need to call a contractor.
We cover the standard closing costs and charge no commissions or fees, so you write no checks to sell. What still comes out of the proceeds is anything secured against the property: your mortgage payoff, property taxes and municipal charges, and any water and sewer balance.
A Cambridge deed is recorded in Cambridge. Middlesex County has two registry districts under Chapter 36, Section 1, the northern one at Lowell covering Lowell, Billerica, Carlisle, Chelmsford, Dracut, Dunstable, Tewksbury, Tyngsborough, Westford and Wilmington, and the southern one at Cambridge covering everything else in the county. Cambridge sits in the southern district, at the office in the city itself.
Beyond that, what shapes a sale here is that Cambridge is substantially a condominium market, and condominium sales have a step other sales do not. Chapter 183A, Section 6(d) provides for a statement from the organization of unit owners setting out the unpaid common expenses and other sums assessed against the unit, and recording it discharges the unit from the lien for those sums. Practically, that means the association has to be responsive for your closing to happen on time, and the amount it reports is cleared from your proceeds rather than billed to the buyer.
Where the property is a two or three family with tenants, the leases go with the building and Chapter 186, Section 15B requires the security deposits and the interest accrued on them to be transferred to the new owner, who becomes liable for returning them. Cambridge housing is old enough that the lead paint Property Transfer Notification under Chapter 111, Section 197A also comes up routinely, and unlike the federal disclosure it applies with no construction year threshold at all.
On our side of it, offers usually land between 60 and 70 percent of after repair value, nearer 55 to 60 where the rehab is heavy and up to 70 to 75 where the work is cosmetic. Two to four weeks from signed agreement is the normal close, and we do not commit to a date until the closing attorney has checked title. What comes out of your proceeds is the mortgage payoff, the property taxes and municipal charges, and any water and sewer balance, which is not the same thing as the offer being your net. One thing worth knowing before you choose between listing and selling as is. Cosmetics rarely stop a financed sale. Structural and safety defects do, meaning serious foundation movement, major fire damage, severe water intrusion, or electrical and plumbing that is substantially unsafe.

Yes. For a condo we need the association's 6D certificate of paid condo fees at closing under MGL c.183A s.6(d), and we coordinate that as part of the sale.
No. The lease and security deposit with interest transfer to us at closing under MGL c.186 s.15B, so you do not need to deliver it vacant.
We buy in any condition. Knob-and-tube wiring, old systems and dated finishes are priced into our as-is offer.
None on our side. Your mortgage payoff, taxes, municipal charges and any water and sewer balance come out of the proceeds.
Usually two to four weeks from a signed agreement, assuming clean title. If you need longer to coordinate a move, we work around your schedule.
