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.
Here is the detail that catches people out in this part of the county. Chapter 36, Section 1 splits Worcester County into two registry districts and gives the northern district, whose office is in Fitchburg, exactly five communities: Fitchburg, Ashburnham, Leominster, Lunenburg and Westminster. Gardner is not one of them. Ashburnham and Westminster sit on Gardner's own border and record in Fitchburg, while a Gardner deed goes to the Worcester district office in Worcester, thirty miles down the road. The nearest registry is not always the right registry.
Gardner had 21,287 residents at the 2020 census, well over the five thousand inhabitant line in Chapter 60, Section 23. The collector has ten days from a written application, not counting Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, to furnish the municipal lien certificate. It is itemized and shows the taxes and other assessments then payable, water rates and charges included, and filed within 150 days of issuance it discharges the parcel from liens that do not appear on it. Whatever does appear is settled from the proceeds with the mortgage payoff and the attorney and title charges. On an older multifamily carried for years, the water and sewer balance there is regularly the largest surprise of the closing.
Gardner's older two and three family housing brings requirements of its own, none of them optional. Where the building is tenanted the lease transfers with the deed, and under Chapter 186, Section 15B the security deposit and the interest accrued on it pass to the buyer, who becomes liable for holding and returning it from the date of transfer and must notify the tenant within forty-five days. The lead paint Property Transfer Notification under Chapter 111, Section 197A is due before the purchase and sale agreement is signed, and the section contains no construction-year threshold, which matters in a city built largely before the lead paint rules existed. Chapter 148, Section 26F puts the duty to equip the building with approved smoke detectors on the seller. A unit added or divided without a permit is a closing issue and the usual reason a financed buyer walks.
We do not price from a citywide figure. A citywide figure describes renovated, move-in-ready property and averages away condition, and condition is the whole question on most of the houses we look at here. We price from what the property is worth with the work done and what the work will cost. That normally lands our offer 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 the work is cosmetic, all before transaction, financing and holding costs. Reckon on two to four weeks from a signed agreement and no date committed to until the closing attorney has checked title. We have done one in about a week, on a vacant property with clean title, and it stayed the exception. A plain ugly house still gets a conventional mortgage. What takes a building out of the financed market is a structural or safety defect, and that is where selling for cash is worth what it costs you.
