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, Cummington homeowners call Boston Investors for a clean cash sale. We make one fair, written offer on your home near the village center or out along the hilltown back roads, skip the showings and contingencies, and let you close on the date you choose.
Maybe you've inherited a farmhouse near one of the local sugarhouses, you're relocating out of the Hampshire County hilltowns, or you're holding a rural property that needs more work than you want to take on. 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 Cummington home: address, condition, and your ideal timeline. Takes less than two minutes.
We review the details, research recent Cummington 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 Cummington deed records at the Hampshire County Registry of Deeds in Northampton. Chapter 36, Section 1 divides only Berkshire, Bristol, Essex, Middlesex and Worcester, and every other county has one office in a shire town. Cummington's borders cross two county lines, which is the part people miss. Plainfield, Goshen, Chesterfield and Worthington file in Northampton with it; Ashfield is a Franklin County town and files in Greenfield; and Peru, named by the statute into the Berkshire middle district, files in Pittsfield. Three registries border one town.
The municipal lien certificate sets the pace of a Cummington closing more often than anything else. Cummington counted 829 residents at the 2020 census, so under Chapter 60, Section 23 its collector has twenty days rather than ten to produce one after a written request, not counting Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, which is why the closing attorney asks for it in the first week. Recorded within a hundred and fifty days, it clears the parcel of any tax, assessment or charge it does not list. Whatever it does list, together with the mortgage payoff, property taxes and any water and sewer balance, is settled from the proceeds at the table.
Cummington's farmhouses raise two rules. The first is classified land: where fields are taxed under Chapter 61A or woodland under Chapter 61, Chapter 61A, Section 14 and Chapter 61, Section 8 give the town a first refusal option to meet a bona fide offer for a hundred and twenty days after a complying notice is mailed, before the land can be sold for residential, industrial or commercial use. The second is lead. Chapter 111, Section 197A sets no construction year threshold, so the state's lead form and materials go to the buyer before a purchase and sale agreement is signed, whatever the age of the house.
A house on Route 9 and a hill farm on a back road toward Plainfield are different properties, and we price them as such. We work from what the property is worth with the work done and what that work will cost. That 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. Plan on two to four weeks from a signed agreement. About a week has happened, on a vacant property with clean title, and it stays the exception. No date is confirmed before the closing attorney has checked title.

The Hampshire County Registry of Deeds in Northampton. Ashfield, next door, is a Franklin town recording in Greenfield, and Peru, named into the Berkshire middle district, records in Pittsfield.
Yes, once the town's option is dealt with. Chapter 61, Section 8 and Chapter 61A, Section 14 give the town a first refusal option to meet a bona fide offer for a hundred and twenty days after the day following the mailing of a complying notice, when classified forest or farm land is sold for residential, industrial or commercial use.
The same as any house, whatever its age. Chapter 111, Section 197A sets no construction year threshold: the state's lead form and materials, and anything known about lead in paint, plaster or other accessible structural materials, go to the buyer before a purchase and sale agreement is signed. Nothing has to be deleaded to sell.
Up to twenty days, not counting weekends and holidays. Cummington counted 829 residents at the 2020 census. Chapter 60, Section 23 gives the collector in a town of five thousand inhabitants or less twenty days to answer a written request, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, against ten days in a larger municipality.
