Frequently Asked Questions

No. We buy houses in any condition. You do not need to clean, repair, update, or remove anything before we review the property or make an offer.

Most sellers hear from us within 24 to 48 hours after sharing their property details. We aim to get back to you quickly once we have the details we need.

You choose the pace: when the title is clear and both sides are ready, closings can move quickly. But the timeline depends on your situation — some sellers prefer a fast close, others need more time, and we work around your schedule.

None, on the commission side: when you sell directly to New England Direct Buyers, there are no agent commissions. We are transparent about how offers are calculated so you can compare your options clearly.

Yes. Requesting an offer does not commit you to anything. You can review it, ask questions, and decide at your own pace.

We buy single-family homes, multi-family properties, and most residential properties in Pawtucket, Central Falls, and surrounding Rhode Island communities — including homes that need significant repairs, have tenants, or have been vacant for a long time.

Yes. Inherited homes are one of the most common situations we help with. We can work with estates, multiple heirs, and properties that need cleanout before or after closing.

Yes. Tenant-occupied properties can be reviewed. Share the lease terms, rental amount, and any concerns so we can evaluate the situation accurately.

A direct sale can sometimes help sellers avoid foreclosure by closing before the foreclosure process is complete. Every situation is different, so it is worth discussing your timeline and options directly.

Offers are based on the property condition, location, comparable sales in the area, estimated repair costs, closing timeline, and holding costs. We explain how we arrived at the number so you can make an informed decision.

It may be lower — a direct cash offer can come in below a retail listing price. But the comparison is not that simple. With a direct sale you avoid agent commissions, repairs, staging, showings, open houses, inspection negotiations, and the uncertainty of deals falling through. Many sellers find that the net result is comparable or better for their specific situation.

Just the paperwork. Standard closings are handled by a title company — you will need to sign documents, but the process is straightforward and your closing attorney or the title company can walk you through every step.

We can still review properties with code violations or unpermitted additions. These factors are considered when calculating the offer, but they do not automatically disqualify a property.

If you owe more than the property value, a short sale may be an option. This involves your lender and takes more time, but it can be a path forward in the right circumstances. We can discuss your situation and help you understand your options.

Our primary focus is Pawtucket and Central Falls, but we also review properties in surrounding Rhode Island communities. Contact us with your property address and we will let you know if we can help.
