Questions people ask us.

We start with what the house would sell for after it is fixed up, based on recent sales in your neighborhood. We subtract what the repairs will cost, our holding and selling costs, and the profit we need to make it worth doing. What is left is the offer. We will show you the math if you want to see it. It is not a lowball formula, it is just what the numbers are.

No. No agent commission, no processing fee, no closing fee on our side. The offer we give you is what you get, minus whatever you owe on the house (mortgage, taxes, liens), which gets paid off at closing.

We pay our side. On your side, the only things that come out are your own payoffs and the Massachusetts deed excise tax, which every seller pays on any sale. Your closing attorney will give you a settlement statement before closing so there are no surprises.

As fast as seven days if the title is clean. Most of our closings land in three to four weeks. If you need longer, we will wait.

No. Some sellers stay a few days or weeks after closing while they get settled. We can write that into the agreement.

We buy it anyway. A failed septic system is one of the most common reasons people call us, because a bank will not lend on the house until it is fixed and a replacement can run $30,000 or more. We pay cash, so the bank is not part of the deal.

We buy houses with tenants in place, including tenants who are behind on rent or in the middle of an eviction. You do not have to go through housing court first. We take over the lease and deal with it after closing.

Usually, yes. If probate is already open, we work with your attorney on timing. If it has not been filed yet, we can point you to a probate attorney and wait for the court to appoint a personal representative. We have done a lot of these.

Not until the auction happens. If you have a foreclosure date, call us today. We can often close before the sale, pay off the lender, and get you whatever equity is left instead of a foreclosure on your record.

Yes to all three. Condos with big special assessments, two- and three-families with tenants, vacant lots, mixed-use buildings. If it is real estate in eastern Massachusetts, we will look at it.

No. We are not agents and we do not sell leads. Your information goes to Greg and Annmarie and nobody else.

Take it. Our offer is not a trap. If another buyer beats us, good for you. Just make sure they are a real buyer with real cash and not a wholesaler who is going to try to flip the contract.
