Bet on Boston: FSBO Homes in Massachusetts
Are a you a real estate investor looking for a great deal during these troubled real estate market times? You may want to find a great investment on a rental or a “fix and flip” property, or you may just want to find a great investment on a home that you can move into. If this describes you, then you can’t go wrong by checking out FSBO homes in Massachusetts. These are listings of Massachusetts homes for sale by owner. FSBO homes in Massachusetts aren’t listed through a real estate agency. Instead, they are being sold directly to a qualified buyer by the owners of the homes.
Now, why would Massachusetts homes for sale by owner make such great potential real estate investments? Well, you can find some quality homes in historic Massachusetts that are listed for a lot less than they would be if the usual real estate agent route were being used to sell them, because there’s no need for the owners to calculate in an agent’s commission into the price. This lack of an agent also means that you can have more ready access to touring one of these historical homes, since you and the owner can simply agree to meet at the house at such and such a time without worrying about an agent’s busy professional schedule.
Perhaps most importantly of all, owners who are willing to sell their homes without worrying about getting an agent usually want to sell their houses as quickly as possible, meaning that they are usually more open to price negotiating. They won’t have an agent coaxing them or “coaching” them on how to get the highest price. They are open to bids. This is another aspect that can save you money on the purchase.
