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, New Salem homeowners call Boston Investors for a clean cash sale. We make one fair, written offer on your property near the town common or out along Route 202, with no showings, no contingencies, and a closing date you choose.
Sellers here often inherited a family house and acreage and now live too far away to keep it up. Others are ready to stop heating and maintaining an old farmhouse they no longer use, or need to settle an estate among several heirs without waiting out a long listing. The offer is no-obligation, and you pay nothing in fees or commissions.
We've bought across New Salem and the surrounding Quabbin towns, from center-chimney colonials and Federals near the town common to farmhouses with barns on open acreage and cabins on wooded lots toward Wendell and Shutesbury. Land and outbuildings carry a lot of the value out here, and we price for that rather than just the house. We close with a Franklin County attorney.
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 New Salem home: address, condition, and your ideal timeline. Takes less than two minutes.
We review the details, research recent New Salem 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.
New Salem is the largest town by area in Franklin County at 58.6 square miles, yet only about 983 people live here, because nearly 14 of those square miles are water and much of the rest sits inside the Quabbin watershed. The town was settled in 1737 and incorporated in 1753 by families from Salem, and it grew dramatically in the 1930s when the Quabbin Reservoir swallowed the Swift River Valley and New Salem absorbed most of the former town of Prescott along with pieces of Greenwich and Enfield. Today the Prescott Peninsula holds the town's high ground at Mount Pleasant and Prescott Hill, the Quabbin covers 39 square miles of water across 81,000 acres of reservation land supplying drinking water to nearly half of Massachusetts, and the reservoir cuts off any direct land route to Pelham, Belchertown, and Ware. The Bear's Den, a Trustees of Reservations property where the Middle Branch of the Swift River drops about 12 feet into a pool inside a gorge with 70-foot walls, and the Swift River Valley Historical Society on Elm Street both keep that history close at hand.
We track how Franklin County assessments move against the market, how New Salem's values compare to Orange, Petersham, and Wendell, and what large wooded parcels, private wells and septic systems, Quabbin watershed restrictions, and long dirt road frontage actually mean for value here. Our numbers come from real New Salem and Quabbin-area comps, not regional guesses.
When you work with us, you're not dealing with a national wholesaler or an out-of-state algorithm. You're working with a local team that knows New Salem and closes there regularly.
Questions New Salem homeowners ask before accepting a cash offer. Don't see yours? Call or text us directly.
We usually close in two to four weeks from signed agreement, assuming clean title and no unusual estate or probate issues. If you need more time, whether for a move, an estate matter, or just peace of mind, we work around your schedule. We've closed in about a week where the property was vacant and the title was clean, but that is the exception rather than the norm.
No. We buy New Salem homes in any condition: roofing problems, outdated systems, unfinished renovations, water damage, you name it. We price the repair costs into our offer so you never have to spend a dollar before closing.
You pay no agent commissions and no listing fees, and we cover the standard closing costs, so there is nothing to pay out of pocket. What still comes out of the proceeds at closing is anything secured against the property: your mortgage payoff, property taxes and municipal charges, and any outstanding water and sewer balance.
New Salem's market is small, slow, and land-driven. Under a thousand residents spread across the largest town footprint in Franklin County means only a handful of sales in a typical year, and much of what trades is acreage and old farm property rather than conventional housing. Buyers tend to be people who specifically want privacy, woodland, and Quabbin access within reach of Amherst, Orange, and Athol, plus a steady trickle of second-home and homestead buyers. What stalls are farmhouses where the land carries most of the value but the house needs work, estates with several heirs, and parcels where watershed rules or septic upgrades complicate a lender's appraisal. Our offers reflect recent Franklin County comps, current New Salem assessed values, and what's actually selling here, not a generic Pioneer Valley average.
Yes. We work with inherited and probate properties regularly. Whether the estate is fully settled, mid-process, or involves multiple heirs, we can structure the closing to fit where you are. Our team coordinates with estate attorneys and can work directly with executors or personal representatives.
We handle these situations all the time. Property tax arrears, mechanic's liens, HOA liens, and similar encumbrances can typically be resolved at closing from the sale proceeds. Our title team identifies everything upfront and resolves it in one transaction so you walk away clean.
Get a fair, no-obligation cash offer in 24 hours. Close on your schedule, leave anything behind, and pay zero fees or commissions.
Not sure where to begin? That’s normal. Most homeowners we speak with are just exploring their options. Maybe you’re thinking, “Can I really sell my house without fixing anything?” or “Is a cash offer even worth it?”
We get it; selling is a big decision. So let’s just have a chat. Call us at 617-539-6162 or fill out the short form. No pressure. Just real answers from real people who buy houses across Massachusetts.
New Salem is one of 22 cities and towns we buy in across Franklin County. The county page lists all of them, along with the Registry of Deeds district that records the deed.
Massachusetts cash home buyers since 2013. We buy houses in any condition, anywhere in the state, with no agents, no repairs and no fees. From a signed agreement, most sales complete in two to four weeks. And if listing with an agent would net you more, we will tell you.
