Common Questions

Everything You Want to Know

From how we land on your offer to how fast we can close, here is how selling to Silver Homes really works.

1 Do you buy houses anywhere in Massachusetts?

Yep, all over the state. Worcester and Brockton are our home base, but we buy in Framingham, Newton, and pretty much any town in Massachusetts. Not sure if we cover yours? Just ask. The answer is almost always yes.

2 How fast can you close on my house?

As few as 7 days if you need it that quick. Some folks want the cash right away. Others need a few weeks to figure out their next move. You pick the date and we work around it.

3 What's the catch? Are there any fees?

No catch and no fees. The offer we make is the cash you get at closing. We don't charge commissions, and we cover the normal closing costs too. What we say is what you get.

4 Will you make a lowball offer just because it's cash?

We get why people worry about that. Our offer is based on what your house is actually worth, what it needs, and what similar homes nearby have sold for. We'll walk you through how we got the number. And there's no obligation to take it.

5 What if my house needs major repairs or is full of stuff?

Totally fine. We buy houses as-is, which means you fix nothing and clean nothing. Leave whatever you don't want behind. Old roof, water damage, a basement full of junk. We've seen it all and we'll still make an offer.

6 What if my house is in probate, foreclosure, or has title issues?

We deal with these all the time. Probate, foreclosure, liens, messy titles. None of it scares us off. We'll help sort out what needs sorting and keep things moving so you can close.

7 How is selling to Silver Homes different from listing with a Realtor?

With an agent you fix up the house, host showings, pay around 6% in commission, and wait months hoping a deal doesn't fall apart. With us there are no repairs, no showings, no fees, and a guaranteed cash close on your timeline. Simpler, faster, done.

8 How do you decide what to offer for my house?

We look at a few things. The condition of the house, what it would cost to fix up, and what comparable homes in your area recently sold for. Then we make a fair cash offer and explain exactly how we landed on it. No mystery math.

9 Do I have to pay any closing costs?

Nope. We cover the standard closing costs ourselves. No agent commissions, no listing fees, and no surprise charges pulled out at the end. The number we agree on is the number you walk away with.

10 What types of homes do you buy?

Pretty much all of them. Single-family houses, condos, townhouses, multi-families, and even mobile homes on land you own. Big or small, updated or falling apart, we'll take a look and make an offer.

11 Am I obligated to accept your offer?

Not at all. The offer is free and there's zero pressure. Look it over, sleep on it, talk it through with family. If it works for you, great. If not, no hard feelings and you owe us nothing.

12 Is my information private?

Yes. What you share stays between you and us. We don't sell your details or post your address anywhere. We only use your info to put together your offer and reach out to you about it.
