We Buy Houses In Massachusetts

Our office is in Seekonk, so the South Coast and Greater Attleboro area is where we work most. We buy in Attleboro, Taunton, Swansea, Somerset, Westport, Dartmouth, and New Bedford, along with Fall River, Rehoboth, Norton, Raynham, Berkley, Freetown, and Fairhaven.

If your town is not on that list, call anyway. We look at properties outside our core area regularly, and if it is not a fit we will tell you straight away instead of wasting your time.

For most one and two family sales in Massachusetts, the local fire department has to inspect the alarms and issue a certificate of compliance before the transfer, and that certificate is only good for a limited window, so it is usually scheduled once a closing date is set. The state explains the requirements on its smoke and CO alarm inspection page.

When you sell to us, we arrange that inspection and cover the cost of any alarms that need replacing. You are not the one chasing the fire department for an appointment or buying detectors before closing. Your closing attorney will confirm exactly what applies to your property.

Yes, in a few ways that matter. Massachusetts closings are attorney driven and carry requirements Rhode Island does not, most notably the septic inspection rule for homes not on municipal sewer, which the state covers on its Title 5 page. That single requirement is the reason many South Coast sales collapse. We buy those homes anyway, which we explain in more detail on our Westport page.

We buy on both sides of the line and close through title companies and attorneys in each state, so if you own property in Providence and in Massachusetts, you are dealing with one buyer rather than two.

We do. There are no commissions, no fees, and no closing costs charged to you when you sell to Moss Home Solutions. The number we put in writing is the number you receive.

Massachusetts charges a deed excise stamp tax on the transfer, which the seller conventionally pays, and we cover that as part of our purchase. Existing payoffs still come out of the proceeds, so a mortgage balance, back taxes, or a lien gets settled at closing and you keep the remainder. Here is how the full process works.

Often not, but it depends on your situation rather than on how you sell. Homeowners who have lived in the property as a main home for long enough can frequently exclude a substantial amount of gain, while investment property and inherited property follow different rules. The IRS covers the basics in Topic No. 701, Sale of Your Home.

We are cash home buyers, not tax advisors, so run your specific numbers past a CPA before you commit to anything. What we can tell you is exactly what your net proceeds will be, in writing, before you sign.
