Skip the listings, repairs, and agent fees. Get a fair, no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours and close on the date that works for you.
When a traditional listing doesn't fit the situation, Arlington homeowners call Boston Investors for a clean cash sale. We make one fair, written offer on your East Arlington or Arlington Heights home, skip the showings and contingencies, and let you close on the date you choose.
Maybe you've inherited a two-family near Massachusetts Avenue, you're relocating out of the Boston area, or you're holding a tired rental near Spy Pond you'd rather not pour money into. We've handled all of it. The offer is no-obligation, and you pay nothing in fees or commissions.
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.
Navigating probate or selling a parent's home for the first time. We keep the process simple.
Ready to downsize or move to assisted living. We buy as-is so there's nothing to fix or stage.
Offloading a rental or portfolio property fast. We close without tenant complications.
No inspections that kill deals, no repair credits, no staging. Whatever shape your property is in, we make a fair cash offer and close on your schedule.
No open houses, no waiting for 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 Arlington home: address, condition, and your ideal timeline. Takes less than two minutes.
We review the details, research recent Arlington comps, and deliver a fair, written cash offer within 24 hours. No obligation to accept, just a clear number you can evaluate on your own terms.
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 junk in the basement, the items in the attic. Take what matters to you and walk away. Our team handles full cleanout at our cost, zero charge to you.
Deferred maintenance, cosmetic damage, major system failures: we factor repair costs into our offer and handle everything post-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.
The paperwork for an Arlington sale is simpler than the county name suggests, and it is worth knowing why. Arlington is in Middlesex County, one of the five Massachusetts counties that Chapter 36, Section 1 divides into registry districts. The northern district, whose office is in Lowell, is a fixed list of ten communities, and Arlington is not on it. So an Arlington deed records at the Middlesex southern district registry in Cambridge, a few miles down Massachusetts Avenue, and the closing attorney will send it there.
Arlington had 46,308 residents at the 2020 census, and what you own sets what the sale needs. A condominium needs the statement of unpaid common expenses under Chapter 183A, Section 6(d), which the organization of unit owners must furnish within ten business days of a written request and which, once recorded, discharges the unit from the lien for other sums then unpaid. A two family with a tenant in the other unit transfers the lease with the deed, and under Chapter 186, Section 15B the security deposit and its accrued interest pass to the new owner, who has 45 days to tell the tenant. Any house, whatever its age, comes with the lead paint Property Transfer Notification under Chapter 111, Section 197A, which is provided before the purchase and sale agreement is signed. The Massachusetts statute sets no construction year threshold, which surprises sellers who know only the federal 1978 rule.
The document that decides your closing date is the municipal lien certificate. Under Chapter 60, Section 23 the town collector has ten days from a written application to furnish it, and it lists the taxes, assessments and water rates and charges that are liens on the property. Whatever it shows comes out of the proceeds at closing, together with the mortgage payoff and the attorney and title charges. That is the part sellers are least prepared for. An offer is not a check for the offer amount, and an unpaid water and sewer balance is the most common item that turns up on the certificate.
Our own numbers, stated plainly. Offers usually land between 60 and 70 percent of what the house will be worth once the work is done, closer to 55 to 60 where the rehab is heavy and up to 70 to 75 where the work is genuinely cosmetic, before transaction, financing and holding costs. Count on two to four weeks from a signed agreement as the normal close. The fastest we have ever managed was about a week and it remains the exception, and we do not put a date in writing until the closing attorney has checked title. An Arlington house with a dated kitchen still gets a conventional mortgage. What takes a property out of the financed market is a structural or safety defect, and that is where a cash buyer is genuinely useful.
