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.
Not every home sale can wait through months of showings and financing delays. When yours can't, Fairhaven homeowners call Boston Investors for a clean cash sale: one fair, written offer on your home near the historic center, on Sconticut Neck, or out on West Island, with no open houses, no contingencies, and a closing on your date.
Maybe you've inherited a family home near Fort Phoenix, you're relocating off the South Coast, or you own a weathered rental near the New Bedford bridge that needs more than it returns. We buy in all of those situations. The offer is no-obligation, and you keep the full amount, with no 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 Fairhaven home: address, condition, and your ideal timeline. Takes less than two minutes.
We review the details, research recent Fairhaven 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 Fairhaven deed records in New Bedford, and the statute names the town rather than leaving it to geography. Chapter 36, Section 1 divides Bristol County three ways: the southern district at New Bedford comprising New Bedford, Acushnet, Dartmouth, Fairhaven and Westport, the Fall River district comprising Fall River, Freetown, Somerset and Swansea, and the northern district at Taunton taking the remainder. Fairhaven is one of the five named for New Bedford, which is the office across the harbour bridge. Mattapoisett next door is Plymouth County and files in Plymouth, so two waterfront houses a few miles apart can sit in different counties, let alone different districts.
Fairhaven counted 15,924 residents at the 2020 census, past the five thousand that sets the clock in Chapter 60, Section 23. On written application the collector has ten days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, to furnish the municipal lien certificate, itemized and showing the amounts then payable on account of all taxes and assessments, rates and charges so far as they are fixed and ascertained. Filed for record within 150 days of its date it discharges the parcel from the liens that do not appear on it. What it does show comes out of the proceeds with the mortgage payoff and the attorney and title charges.
Out on Sconticut Neck and West Island a large share of the housing is on private septic, and 310 CMR 15.301 requires the system to be inspected at or within two years before the transfer of title, or up to three years before where pumping records show at least annual pumping. Refinancing and transfers between spouses do not count as transfers, so the gap between inspections can run very long on a property that has stayed in one family. In the historic district the live rule is different: the lead paint Property Transfer Notification under Chapter 111, Section 197A goes to the buyer before the purchase and sale agreement is signed and sets no construction-year threshold at all. Chapter 148, Section 26F puts approved smoke detectors on the seller at transfer in both cases.
On the number, we do not price from a town average. An average describes renovated listings and averages away condition, which is the one thing that actually moves our offer. We work from what the property would be worth with the work done and what that work will cost. In practice our offers land between 60 and 70 percent of after repair value, closer to 55 to 60 percent where the rehab is heavy and as high as 70 to 75 percent where the work is genuinely cosmetic, all before transaction, financing and holding costs. Plan on two to four weeks from a signed agreement. We have closed in about a week once, on a vacant house with clean title, and it stayed the exception. Salt damage and flood-zone paperwork are pricing questions for us and deal breakers for a lender.

The Bristol County southern district, in New Bedford, because Chapter 36, Section 1 names the town there. That district comprises New Bedford, Acushnet, Dartmouth, Fairhaven and Westport. Mattapoisett next door is Plymouth County and files in Plymouth, so two waterfront houses a few miles apart can sit in different counties, let alone different districts.
An inspection under 310 CMR 15.301 at or within two years before the transfer of title, or up to three years before where pumping records show at least annual pumping. Refinancing and transfers between spouses do not count as transfers, so the gap between inspections can run very long on a property that has stayed in one family.
Yes, and so does everything else. Chapter 111, Section 197A sets no construction-year threshold at all, so the Property Transfer Notification goes to the buyer before the purchase and sale agreement is signed on a 1990s house off Route 6 exactly as it does on an antique. Chapter 148, Section 26F puts approved smoke detectors on the seller at transfer in both cases.
No. Salt damage and flood-zone paperwork are pricing questions for us and deal breakers for a lender, because financed sales die on structural and safety defects rather than on tired finishes. You do not need to repair or clear anything first.
Two to four weeks from a signed agreement in the normal case. About a week has happened once, on a vacant house with clean title, and it stayed the exception. No date is promised before the closing attorney has checked title.
No agent commission and no listing fee. What still comes out of the proceeds is anything secured against the property: the mortgage payoff, property taxes and municipal charges, and any outstanding water and sewer balance, all listed on the municipal lien certificate under Chapter 60, Section 23.
