Sell Your House Fast in Shirley, MA. Cash offer for the house you own now

We pay the closing costs on a sale to us, except your share of any transfer tax, and the purchase agreement sets this out. Eagle does not charge you an agent commission on a direct sale to us. Your mortgage payoff and any liens, delinquent taxes, HOA or association balances, agreed prorations and other seller obligations are deducted from your proceeds when applicable. The closing professional provides a settlement statement showing the charges and credits before closing. Transfer, deed, conveyance or similar taxes vary by state and locality. For a sale in Shirley: $2.28 per $500 of the price, about $4.56 per $1,000, subject to the purchase agreement.

Selling a property as-is does not automatically eliminate disclosure obligations under applicable federal, state or local law. Tell us what you know about the roof, plumbing, electrical system, foundation, environmental conditions and any past damage or repairs so we can evaluate the property accurately and address known issues in writing before you sign. A real estate attorney licensed in Massachusetts can confirm which disclosures apply.

Often, yes. Delinquent property taxes and many recorded liens can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing, provided there is enough equity and the required payoff or release can be obtained. The title search or other closing review will identify items that must be paid, released or otherwise resolved. A disputed lien, an unavailable payoff or debts exceeding the available proceeds can delay or prevent closing unless the issue is resolved or the creditor agrees to another arrangement. Tell us what you know upfront so the closing professional can investigate it early.

It depends on how title was held and Massachusetts law. Property held in the deceased owner's name alone may require probate or another estate procedure before anyone has authority to sign a deed. Property held in a trust or with survivorship rights may pass outside probate. A probate or estate attorney licensed in Massachusetts should confirm who has authority and which procedure applies. We can evaluate the property and make an offer while that is being established, but we cannot close until someone has legal authority to sign.

A sale may help avoid a foreclosure sale if it closes in time and the proceeds are enough to satisfy the required payoff, or if the lender gives written approval to accept less. In Massachusetts, a foreclosure generally proceeds by a sale under the mortgage's power of sale, after the lender completes the required legal steps. We cannot promise to stop or postpone a foreclosure; that depends on the lender or servicer, the sale process, the timing and whether the transaction closes. Contact us as early as possible and bring every notice you have so we can tell you whether our expected timeline appears workable. A HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney licensed in Massachusetts can explain your legal options and deadlines. At Eagle, we can help only if there are at least 3 weeks before the auction date and you can send paperwork quickly and help the title company close fast. Our Massachusetts page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.

Eagle may purchase the property itself or, if the purchase agreement permits, assign its contractual rights to another investor or purchasing entity. Any assignment right is stated in the agreement before you sign. The agreement also states the price, closing date or timeline, contingencies and other material terms. The closing is handled by the title company, escrow holder, settlement agent or closing attorney used for the transaction.

Only when the home is sold together with the land under it. If you own both the home and the land, send us the address and we will tell you whether we can make an offer.

On the open market, price, condition and showing access all matter. Repairs and clean-out take time and money. A cash sale skips showings and buyer financing, and at Eagle you choose the closing date, usually in 21 to 42 days or later.

Large repair needs, such as roof, heating, water or structural problems, tend to have the biggest effect on what a buyer will pay. Location and the local market also play a part. We can buy a house in any condition when the numbers work.

Your mortgage payoff and any liens are paid from the sale proceeds, and you receive the rest. Many people rent, move in with family or buy later. A tax adviser can tell you whether anything is owed on the sale.

Once the sale closes and the deed is recorded, the buyer owns the house. A seller can still be responsible for things such as statements made in the contract or problems that were not disclosed, so ask a Massachusetts attorney about your own situation.

Generally, no repairs are due after closing unless the contract says otherwise. At Eagle we buy as is, so we usually do not ask for repairs before closing. A closing attorney can confirm what your contract says.

Often yes, but the estate usually has to be opened first so the person with authority can sign. The timing depends on the probate court and your paperwork. We can talk through the steps and wait for what the court needs.

Usually not. We can often buy a house with belongings still in it, and you can tell us what you want to keep. Mention it on the first call so we can plan for it.

These items can slow a regular sale, because buyers and their lenders ask about them. We can consider a house with such issues when the numbers work, and the repair estimate becomes part of the offer.

No. The Zillow estimate is a market reference. A cash offer starts from market value and then accounts for repairs, resale costs and a margin, so it is usually lower. You can compare it with other offers before you decide.

A licensed title or escrow company, or a closing attorney, depending on the state. We pass the paperwork along quickly. A Massachusetts attorney or the closing office can explain what is needed from you.
