Valentgas Properties is run by Greg Valentgas out of an office on Sandwich Street in downtown Plymouth. Greg and his fiancée Annmarie Vendola live on Cape Cod and buy houses across Plymouth County, the Cape and Islands, the South Coast, and the rest of eastern Massachusetts. Annmarie spent nearly a decade in the mortgage business before this, so between the two of them there is not much about a title problem, a lien, a probate file, or a difficult closing they have not seen.
A lot of the "we buy houses" sites advertising in Massachusetts are lead-generation companies. You fill out a form, your information gets sold, and three strangers start calling. That is not this. When you call or text, you get Greg or Annmarie, the same people who look at the house, write the offer, and show up at closing. More about who we are, or read what sellers say.
Fill out the form, or call or text 508-789-2497. Address and a couple of details is enough to start.
A 5 to 10 minute walkthrough, usually within a few days. Don't clean. Don't stage. Don't hide anything.
A real cash offer, no obligation. If it works, pick your closing date. As fast as 7 days, or as far out as you need.
Single-family homes, condos, two- and three-families, and small mixed-use buildings. These are the situations we see most, each with its own page if you want the detail.
Probate still open, siblings in three states, a house full of forty years of stuff. We buy it as-is, work around the court timeline, and clear out whatever you leave. Selling an inherited house
Mortgage, taxes, or a lien. We can often close before the auction date, pay off the lender at closing, and you leave with cash instead of a foreclosure. Selling before foreclosure
A failed or uninspected septic system can cost $30,000 or more before a bank will lend on the house. We pay cash, so it does not stop the sale. Selling with a failed Title 5
Tenants who will not pay, will not leave, or will not let you in. We buy with them in place, mid-eviction if it comes to that. You never go to housing court. Selling a house with tenants
Old roof, knob-and-tube, water in the basement, a house you can only look at from the doorway, fire damage the insurance company already paid on. We buy it exactly as it sits. Selling a house as-is
Open violations and inspectional services orders get resolved after closing, on our dime. Divorce, relocation, downsizing, or you simply do not want to list it. You pick the closing date and walk away.
Our office is in Plymouth, we live on the Cape, and we buy everywhere east of Worcester. We do not focus on far western Massachusetts. Pick your area for the towns we cover. If your town is not listed, call anyway.
A cash sale is not the right move for every house. If yours is in good shape in a strong neighborhood and you have the time, listing with an agent will probably net you more, and we will tell you that. We work with a few local agents we trust and we are happy to introduce you. Where a cash sale wins is when the house needs work, when there are tenants or probate or a deadline involved, or when you have done the math on months of carrying costs, repairs, and commissions and the "higher" listing number is not higher anymore.

Verified reviews from people who sold to us. Read them on Google or on our reviews page.
"I was honestly skeptical about calling a cash home buyer because I had heard mixed things about companies like this. Greg was completely straightforward from the beginning. He answered my questions, explained the numbers and never pressured me to sell. Valentgas Properties did exactly what they said they would do and the closing was smooth. I'd definitely recommend talking to them if you're considering selling a house as-is."

"I am so happy that I met Greg and his team at Valentgas Properties. As a realtor, sometimes I run into situations where going on the market to get a home sold is not the best fit for a seller. Greg and his team offer alternative solutions- they are fair, compassionate, and understanding especially when speaking to the client. I could not be happier, having worked with them recently, and I look forward to offering their service in the future as needed."

"Really easy people to work with. They made a fair offer, explained everything clearly, and there was zero pressure. The whole process was much simpler than I expected. Definitely recommend Valentgas Properties if you're looking to sell a house as-is."
K.S. via Google
"I wasn't even sure I wanted to sell when I first called. Greg came out, looked at the house and just gave me a straight answer on what they could do. No weird sales pitch or going back and forth. When I decided to move forward they did what they said they would and closed when they said they would."

Most of what we buy comes down to a handful of Massachusetts problems that a retail buyer's bank will not touch. If one of these is yours, you are in the right place.
Almost every house on Cape Cod and in the rural parts of Plymouth County is on septic, and Massachusetts requires a Title 5 inspection before a sale. A failed system is a $30,000-plus repair, and some Cape towns add nitrogen rules that push it higher. A bank will not lend on the house until it is fixed. That is why a failed Title 5 is the number one reason sales fall apart in these towns, and why it is one of the most common reasons people call us. How we handle a failed Title 5.
Massachusetts has some of the oldest housing in the country. Knob-and-tube wiring, plaster walls, a roof from the 1980s, lead paint, a three-page inspection list. Boston triple-deckers, mill-era houses in Lowell and New Bedford, antique capes along Route 6A. Retail buyers want turnkey and their lenders want a clean inspection. We do a ten-minute walkthrough and price the work into the offer. Selling as-is.
A parent's house with forty years of stuff in it, heirs spread across three states, and a probate file nobody understands. Massachusetts probate has its own timeline, and we work around it. We can sign an agreement before the court appoints someone with authority to sell, then close when it does. You do not have to clean it out. Selling an inherited house, and what to do first.
Massachusetts is a tenant-friendly state, and getting a rental empty before a sale can take months in housing court. We buy occupied buildings, including ones with a non-paying tenant or an eviction already in progress, and deal with it after closing. Selling a house with tenants.
A Massachusetts foreclosure does not happen the day you miss a payment. There is a right-to-cure window, then notices, then an auction date. Inside that window you can still sell, pay the lender off at closing, and keep whatever equity is left. Selling before foreclosure, and the full Massachusetts foreclosure timeline.
Summer cottages that were never winterized, family places passed down for generations with heirs who live off-Cape, and older houses sitting on lots worth more than the house. If the house is not worth fixing, we will buy it for the lot. Where we buy on Cape Cod.
Yes. As-is means exactly that: we buy the house in whatever condition it is in today. No repairs, no cleaning, no staging. We do a short walkthrough, not an inspection, and we do not come back after the fact with a repair list.
No. Old roof, knob-and-tube wiring, water in the basement, a kitchen from 1972, fire damage, a house that is not safe to walk through. We have bought all of it. The condition is priced into the offer and the work happens after closing, on our side.
Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons people call us. A bank will not lend on a house with a failed septic system, which knocks out almost every retail buyer. We pay cash, so the Title 5 does not stop the sale. You do not need to get the inspection done before calling.
Yes. We buy rentals 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, and you do not have to notify the tenants before we make an offer.
This is the situation we deal with most. If probate is already open, we work with your attorney on timing. If it has not been filed, we can point you to a probate attorney and wait. Leave behind whatever you do not want, including a house full of stuff. We handle the cleanout.
Not until the auction happens. If you have a foreclosure date, call today. We can often close before the sale, pay off the lender at the closing table, and get you whatever equity is left instead of a foreclosure on your record.
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 what we need to make to do the project. What is left is the offer. We will walk you through that math if you want to see it.
No. The offer is in writing and there is no obligation. Take it to your lawyer, your family, or another buyer. If someone beats us, take their offer. We would rather you make the right decision than the fast one.
No. No agent commission, no processing fee, no closing fee on our side. We pay our closing costs. On your side, the only things that come out are your own payoffs (mortgage, taxes, liens) and the Massachusetts deed excise tax that every seller pays on any sale.
As fast as seven days if the title is clean. Most of our closings land in three to four weeks because that is what the seller wants. If you need 90 days to find your next place, that works too. You pick the date.
Yes. Single-families, condos with special assessments or association problems, two- and three-families with tenants, and small mixed-use buildings. If it is real estate in eastern or central Massachusetts, we will look at it.
Our office is in Plymouth and we live on Cape Cod, so Plymouth County, the Cape and Islands, the South Coast, and the South Shore are home turf. We also buy in Boston, Middlesex County and MetroWest, the North Shore, and Worcester County. We do not focus on far western Massachusetts. If your town is not on the site, call anyway.
No obligation, no fees, no pressure. Fill out the form at the top of this page, or call or text either of us directly.
