"I know the Somerville market inside and out. I see Victorian and Colonial-era multi-family homes dealing with galvanized steel pipes every day. Unlike Compass, I buy as-is, saving you $60,000 in realtor fees and repair costs. My goal is a simple, fair, and fast transaction tailored to your needs."
Older Somerville homes often come with hidden problems like aging galvanized steel pipes, leading to leaks and water pressure issues. We buy as-is, so you avoid expensive fixes.
Navigating Massachusetts' non-judicial foreclosure process (initial notices, 90-day right to cure, 3-week publication, 4-6 months to sale) can be overwhelming. We can close fast and offer a way out.
Dealing with Somerville's strict permit requirements for multi-family dwelling modifications or other code violations can delay a sale. We handle all compliance issues.

Selling a home in Massachusetts involves understanding state statutes, such as those outlined in Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 183, governing property conveyances. For those dealing with an inherited home, the probate process can add layers of complexity and delay.
Additionally, local Somerville regulations and property taxes (managed by the City of Somerville Assessor's Office) can influence a sale. When homes are left abandoned, they can quickly fall into disrepair, often leading to potential code violations. If you're managing a vacant property in Somerville, time is of the essence.
We navigate these legalities, offering a clear path to sale, regardless of the property's condition or circumstances.
| Repair Item | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|
| Partial pipe replacement | $2,000 - $5,000 |
| Whole house repiping | $8,000 - $15,000+ |
| Water damage remediation (due to leaks) | $1,500 - $10,000+ |
| Wall/ceiling repair (after access) | $500 - $3,000 per area |
These costs can significantly reduce your net profit. We buy your house with these issues, saving you this burden.

Many older homes in Somerville, including Victorian and Colonial-era multi-family homes, have outdated plumbing like galvanized steel pipes, lead paint, or electrical issues. We specialize in buying homes as-is, meaning you don't need to spend a dime on repairs. We take on the challenge so you don't have to, ensuring a smooth sale even with significant defects.
The main difference is speed, convenience, and cost. A traditional realtor like Compass will list your home, requiring showings, open houses, and often repairs, plus they charge a 5-6% commission (approx. $60,000 on a $1,000,000 home). We offer a direct cash purchase, typically closing in 7-14 days, with no commissions, fees, or repair obligations. It's an Immediate Cash Offer, hassle-free process.
Yes, absolutely. Somerville has areas designated as Zone AE by FEMA, indicating an increased flood risk. This can often deter traditional buyers or complicate financing. We are experienced in handling properties in all flood zones and are prepared to purchase your home regardless of its flood designation, taking that burden off your shoulders.
Somerville, like many dense urban areas, has strict permit requirements for multi-family dwelling modifications and other zoning considerations. These can create significant hurdles for sellers. Our team is adept at navigating local bureaucracy and code issues. We buy properties with existing code violations or permit complications, allowing you to avoid the lengthy and often costly process of remediation.
Yes, we buy homes across all of Somerville's primary zip codes, including 02143, 02144, and 02145. No matter your location within the city, we're interested in making you a competitive cash offer.
