"I know the Somerville market is unique. I know driving I-93 to Boston is a grind. I see Triple-Deckers and Colonial Revival homes dealing with Cast Iron Pipes or strict Historic Preservation restrictions. Unlike Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, I don't ask you to fix it. I buy it as-is, saving you $54,000 in commissions. We handle the Eversource Energy and City of Somerville Assessor's Office paperwork for you."

Navigating the sale of an inherited property in Somerville can be a complex and emotional process. In Massachusetts, the probate timeline varies depending on the complexity of the estate, but typically takes anywhere from 6 to 12 months, or even longer for contested cases. The Middlesex County Superior Court is where these proceedings are managed, and delays are not uncommon due to court backlogs and intricate legal requirements. We understand the urgency that often accompanies probate sales, such as needing to settle an estate quickly or manage unexpected property expenses. Our team provides a sensitive, streamlined process to purchase probate properties, allowing heirs to move forward without the prolonged uncertainty and administrative burden.
Facing foreclosure in Somerville is a daunting prospect, but you have options. In Massachusetts, the foreclosure process is primarily non-judicial, meaning it doesn't always go through the courts, but it still follows strict legal procedures. Lenders must typically provide a 90-day Right to Cure notice, giving homeowners a critical window to address the default. If this period passes without resolution, the lender can proceed with a foreclosure sale. This entire process can take many months, often 6 to 12 months or more. Selling your house for cash before a foreclosure auction can help protect your credit, provide you with equity, and avoid the public record of a foreclosure. We can act quickly to purchase your Somerville property, offering a way out of a difficult financial situation and preventing further credit damage.
Selling a Somerville home with unaddressed code violations or without proper permits can deter traditional buyers and complicate the sales process. Many older homes in Somerville, especially Triple-Deckers and Colonial Revival homes, may have underlying issues like outdated electrical systems, unpermitted renovations, or persistent problems such as failing Cast Iron Pipes. These issues often require extensive and costly repairs, along with obtaining new permits from the City of Somerville. We specialize in buying properties as-is, which means you don't have to worry about the expense, time, or hassle of retrofitting, bringing the property up to code, or securing missing permits. We purchase properties with these challenges attached, offering a direct sale solution.
| Repair Type | Estimated Cost (Somerville) | Our Offer (No Repairs Needed) |
|---|---|---|
| Cast Iron Pipes Replacement | $8,000 - $15,000 | Covered by Us |
| Roof Replacement | $15,000 - $25,000 | Covered by Us |
| Foundation Repair | $20,000 - $50,000+ | Covered by Us |
Max's Insight:
Somerville code enforcement is strict about Historic Preservation restrictions. Many homeowners face challenges when trying to modify or sell older properties without adhering to these specific guidelines. We buy homes with these violations attached, removing the burden from you.
