Here are clear answers to common questions about selling your house for cash and how our process works from start to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

A cash home buyer is someone who purchases properties using their funds, not through a loan or mortgage. This makes the process much faster and more reliable, since there’s no risk of bank delays or financing issues. It also allows for flexible closing dates based on your needs.

Most homeowners get an offer within 24 hours of reaching out. From the day the agreement is signed, a sale usually completes in two to four weeks, assuming clean title and no unusual estate or probate issues. Our fastest was about a week, on a vacant property with clean title, and that was the exception rather than the norm. We do not commit to a closing date until the closing attorney has confirmed what the title and the municipality actually require.

We regularly help homeowners in difficult situations, including foreclosure or missed payments. Time matters, so we move quickly to make an offer and close before things escalate. Our goal is to give you a way out with dignity and less stress.

No, and anyone telling you otherwise is not being straight with you. In the deals we close, our offers usually land at 60 to 70 percent of after repair value before transaction, financing and holding costs. Heavy structural work pushes that toward 55 to 60 percent, and a clean property needing mainly cosmetic work can stretch toward 70 to 75 percent. If your house is sound and you have time, a conventional listing will almost always net you more. A cash sale earns its discount when the alternatives are genuinely worse.

Yes, you can sell your house exactly as it is. We buy homes in any condition, old, damaged, vacant, or lived-in. There’s no need to clean, fix anything, or make updates. We make the process simple, with no prep work on your end.

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. That is true of any sale, ours or a listed one, and we would rather tell you now than at the closing table.

Not at all. If you need time to stay in your home after the sale, we can work with you on that. We offer flexible closing timelines, so you can choose the move-out date that works best for your situation.

Yes. Liens, back taxes and probate do not stop a sale. Liens are paid from the proceeds at closing rather than out of your pocket beforehand. Inherited and probate property is the largest category of seller we work with, and the most common problem on those sales is not condition, it is title: probate that was never completed on an earlier death, or an old mortgage everybody assumed was discharged. Both take weeks to clear, so order a title examination early rather than when you are under agreement.

I inherited my mom's house in Worcester and had no idea where to start. Boston Investors gave me a fair cash offer in two days and handled everything. No repairs, no cleanout, no stress.

We were behind on payments and needed to sell fast before foreclosure. They closed in under two weeks and let us pick the date. Honestly saved us.

The house needed a new roof and a ton of work I couldn't afford. Other buyers wanted me to fix it first. Boston Investors bought it as-is and paid cash. Easy from start to finish.

After my divorce I just wanted the property gone without the months of listings and showings. Got a straightforward offer, no lowball games, and walked away clean.

I was relocating for work and didn't have time to deal with a traditional sale. They made the whole thing simple and closed on my timeline. Would recommend to anyone who needs to sell quickly.
