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, Berkley homeowners call Boston Investors for a clean cash sale. We make one fair, written offer on your Berkley Common or Assonet Neck home, skip the showings and contingencies, and let you close on the date you choose.
Maybe you've inherited a family cape near Berkley Common, you're relocating away from the South Coast, or you're holding a tired rental out toward Myricks 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 Berkley home: address, condition, and your ideal timeline. Takes less than two minutes.
We review the details, research recent Berkley 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 Berkley deed records at the Bristol County Registry of Deeds, northern district, in Taunton, and Bristol is the most finely divided county in the state. Chapter 36, Section 1 of the General Laws splits it three ways: New Bedford, Acushnet, Dartmouth, Fairhaven and Westport record at New Bedford; Fall River, Freetown, Somerset and Swansea record at Fall River; and the remainder of the county records at Taunton. Berkley is in the remainder. Freetown shares a border with it and is on the Fall River list, so two houses either side of that line record in two different offices, in the same county, for reasons that are purely statutory.
Berkley counted 6,764 residents at the 2020 census. Because the town is over five thousand, Chapter 60, Section 23 gives the collector ten days from a written application, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, to issue a municipal lien certificate 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. Read it early, because it sets out what the sale actually clears: mortgage payoff, property taxes and municipal charges, any water and sewer balance, then attorney and title charges.
Berkley is almost entirely on private septic and holds a good deal of working farmland, so two rules run in parallel. Title 5, at 310 CMR 15.300 to 15.305, requires a system inspection within two years before a sale, or within six months afterward where weather prevented it and the seller notified the buyer in writing, with annual pumping records stretching a valid inspection to three years. Chapter 61A, Section 14 requires notice to the town before classified agricultural or horticultural land is sold or converted, gives the town a one hundred and twenty day first refusal option to meet a bona fide offer, and bars consummating the sale until that period expires or a notice of non-exercise is recorded at the registry.
On the offer, we price the property rather than the town, because in a town of large lots a town figure is set by whichever parcel sold last and describes nothing. We take what the property would be worth with the work finished and subtract what the work costs, which puts our offers between 60 and 70 percent of after repair value, nearer 55 to 60 percent on a heavy rehab and up toward 70 to 75 percent where the work is genuinely cosmetic, before transaction, financing and holding costs. Two to four weeks from a signed agreement is normal, and no date is promised before the closing attorney has checked title.
Questions Berkley homeowners ask before accepting a cash offer. Don't see yours? Call or text us directly.
At the Bristol County Registry of Deeds, northern district, in Taunton. Bristol is the most finely divided county in the state: Chapter 36, Section 1 of the General Laws sends New Bedford, Acushnet, Dartmouth, Fairhaven and Westport to New Bedford, Fall River, Freetown, Somerset and Swansea to Fall River, and the remainder of the county to Taunton. Berkley is in the remainder.
No, and that is the trap here. Freetown is named to the Fall River district by the statute, so two properties either side of a shared town line record in two different offices inside one county. An estate holding land in both should expect two title searches and two sets of recording, for reasons that are purely statutory rather than geographic.
An inspection within two years before the sale, under Title 5 at 310 CMR 15.300 to 15.305, carried out by a MassDEP approved inspector. Where weather prevents it, the inspection can happen within six months after the sale provided you notified the buyer in writing. Records showing the system was pumped at least once a year extend a valid inspection to three years.
The town gets first refusal. Under Chapter 61A, Section 14, classified agricultural or horticultural land cannot be sold or converted without notice to the municipality, which then holds a one hundred and twenty day option to meet a bona fide offer, and no sale may be consummated until that period expires or a notice of non-exercise is recorded at the registry.
Often, yes. A court appointed personal representative needs authority before selling, and in many estates the house can be sold while probate is still open. Probate frequently runs several months and sometimes up to about a year, so the practical question is where the estate has got to, which your attorney can answer faster than anyone else. We work to the estate's timetable rather than against it.
Finished value less the cost of the work, which puts us between 60 and 70 percent of after repair value in the usual case, nearer 55 to 60 percent where the rehab is heavy and up toward 70 to 75 percent where the work is genuinely cosmetic, before transaction, financing and holding costs. Two to four weeks from a signed agreement is the normal case, and no date is promised before the closing attorney has checked title.
