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, Dalton homeowners call Boston Investors for a clean cash sale. We make one fair, written offer on your home near Main Street or the Craneville neighborhood, skip the showings and contingencies, and let you close on the date you choose.
Maybe you've inherited a mill-era family home off Route 9, you're relocating out of the Berkshires, or you're holding a tired rental near the Pittsfield line 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 Dalton home: address, condition, and your ideal timeline. Takes less than two minutes.
We review the details, research recent Dalton 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.
A Dalton deed records at the Berkshire County Registry of Deeds, middle district, in Pittsfield, and Dalton is on the list by name. Chapter 36, Section 1 of the General Laws sets out the middle district as twelve communities, Pittsfield with Becket, Dalton, Hinsdale, Lee, Lenox, Otis, Peru, Richmond, Stockbridge, Tyringham and Washington, and then defines the northern district at Adams as that portion of the county lying north of the middle district. Lanesborough and Cheshire border Dalton and are not on the list, so they fall north of the line and record at Adams. Dalton is where the two districts meet, and the boundary is drawn by a list on one side and a compass direction on the other.
Dalton counted 6,330 residents at the 2020 census. Chapter 60, Section 23 governs the town side of a sale: on written application the collector issues a municipal lien certificate within ten days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, stating the taxes, assessments, rates and charges then payable, and recorded within a hundred and fifty days it discharges the parcel from the liens it does not show. That certificate is also the honest account of a seller's net: mortgage payoff comes off first, then property taxes and municipal charges, then any water and sewer balance, then attorney and title charges.
The age of the housing stock is the practical issue on most Dalton sales. On a home built before 1978 the Property Transfer Lead Paint Notification has to reach the prospective buyer before a purchase and sale agreement, a lease with an option to purchase or a memorandum of agreement used in a foreclosure sale is signed. The seller also has to provide copies of any lead inspection or risk assessment reports and any Letter of Compliance or Letter of Interim Control, disclose what is known about lead in the home, tell the buyer that an owner whose home will house a child under six must delead or reach Interim Control within ninety days of taking title, and sign the certification page with the buyer. Selling does not require you to delead first.
On price, we work from the property rather than a town average. What the house is worth with the work finished, less what the work costs, puts our offers between 60 and 70 percent of after repair value, nearer 55 to 60 percent where the rehab is heavy and up toward 70 to 75 percent where it is genuinely cosmetic, all before transaction, financing and holding costs. Two to four weeks from a signed agreement is the normal timetable, about a week has happened on a vacant property with clean title and stays the exception, and no date is confirmed before the closing attorney has checked title.

At the Berkshire County Registry of Deeds, middle district, in Pittsfield, and Dalton is named on the statutory list. Chapter 36, Section 1 of the General Laws sets the middle district as twelve communities, Pittsfield with Becket, Dalton, Hinsdale, Lee, Lenox, Otis, Peru, Richmond, Stockbridge, Tyringham and Washington. Being on the list is what fixes it.
Not all of them. Lanesborough and Cheshire border Dalton and are not on the middle district list, so they fall north of it and record at Adams. The northern district is defined as that portion of the county lying north of the middle district, so Dalton is effectively where the two districts meet, with a list on one side and a compass direction on the other.

You also provide copies of any lead inspection or risk assessment reports and any Letter of Compliance or Letter of Interim Control, and disclose what you know about lead in the home.
No. The buyer has to be told that an owner whose home will house a child under six must delead or reach Interim Control within ninety days of taking title, but that duty attaches to the new owner. Nothing in the notification requires you to delead in order to sell.
Usually not on its own. A normal ugly house still gets a conventional mortgage; the line is whether an appraiser or lender can conclude the house is safe and habitable. Serious foundation problems, active structural movement, major fire damage, severe water intrusion or electrical and plumbing that is substantially unsafe are the reliable reasons financing falls apart.

About a week has happened on a vacant property with clean title and stays the exception.

You pay no agent commission and no listing fee to us.
