Who buys houses in Boston?
You have several choices when you sell your Boston house.
Depending on what you’re looking for in your home sale, you can do any of the following:
• Sell the traditional way with a real estate agent
• Sell FSBO (for sale by owner)
• Get an offer from an iBuyer
• Work with an off-market, direct home buyer
Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, including upfront costs, time needed to close the sale, and the ease of the home-selling process.
Your options for selling a house in Boston
Keep in mind what suits you and your situation best when you choose your method of selling. How quickly do you want to sell? How involved in the sale do you want to be? You may want to be more independent or instead be guided by a professional throughout the process.
How much time do you have to spend on showings and open houses? You might have open availability for last-minute showings, or you may have a busy schedule and not want to deal with tidying up the house on short notice. Do you want to make repairs before selling, or would you rather avoid those upfront costs and sell the house in its current condition? These are a few factors to consider when choosing one of the many options for selling a house.

Selling via a real estate agent on the housing market
Real estate agents are a traditional, common home-selling method in Boston. With this option, you work with someone who helps with the many steps of selling a house on the market: staging, photography, showings, open houses, negotiations, and more. Real estate agents are typically experienced and will know their way around the housing market and how to sell your house, but that expertise will usually cost you a commission.
Selling FSBO
If you want to handle the sale yourself, you can sell FSBO (for sale by owner). You’ll be responsible for all of the homeowner’s tasks, such as repairs and renovations, plus the duties a real estate agent would assist with in a traditional sale. From listing to closing, you will handle all of the necessary steps, including the real estate paperwork. You’ll have complete control over the sale, although it can be a time-consuming and difficult process.
Working with an iBuyer
An iBuyer can often provide an estimated value for your house online after you answer some questions about it. This can be very convenient if you’re looking for a general idea of how much you can make when you sell your house. The iBuyer will occasionally buy a house sight-unseen, but there will usually be an in-person inspection before closing. The inspection may affect the offer amount, along with transaction fees. Among the options for selling a house, this one may be good for you if your priorities are speed and convenience, rather than getting a higher house price, or if you prefer a less personal sale that’s done mainly online.
Making a direct sale to an off-market house buyer
Selling to an off-market home buyer has become more popular and can be a good option if you’re looking for a faster, easier sale. There are a lot of house buyers out there, so you’ll have no trouble finding one who could be interested in buying your house. You’ll discover a reputable buyer if you look for a company with a history of great customer service, plenty of reviews, and a solid reputation.
Everything went smoothly and as promised. Mike [We Buy Ugly Houses franchisee] was extra helpful to me.
