Behind on the mortgage and thinking about selling? We buy homes across Massachusetts for cash, as-is, which can be one way to sell quickly before an auction date.
When you fall behind on a mortgage, the timeline can feel like it is out of your hands. Selling the home is one option some owners consider, and a cash sale can sometimes be arranged quickly, which is why homeowners ask us about it.
We make one fair cash offer, skip the contingencies, and can often close on a short timeline. A completed sale before an auction date is one way to move on rather than let the process run its course.
Boston Investors is a home buyer, not a law firm, and nothing here is legal advice. Foreclosure has real deadlines and rights attached to it, so please confirm your options with an attorney or a HUD-approved housing counselor. We are glad to work alongside them.
Weighing a sale against the auction timeline. We can move quickly when it helps.
We look at the numbers honestly and tell you whether a sale is realistic.
Sell as-is for cash and avoid a drawn-out listing while the clock runs.
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 the property, your timeline, and where things stand with the lender. Takes less than two minutes.
We review the details, research recent local 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.
When you fall behind on a mortgage, a lender can eventually move to sell the property at auction. Selling the home yourself before that date is one option some owners use to take control of the outcome instead of letting the process run.
A cash sale can sometimes be arranged quickly because there is no lender on our side and no financing contingency. We buy as-is, so there are no repairs or showings to slow things down, and we close through a licensed Massachusetts attorney.
Whether a sale makes sense depends on your equity and your timeline. We will look at the numbers honestly and tell you if a cash sale is realistic, including when the better move is to speak with someone else first.
