What Are My Options For Selling My House?

Most Massachusetts homeowners have three real paths to sell: list with a traditional agent, sell it yourself (FSBO), or sell directly for cash. The right choice depends less on which option is "best" and more on your specific situation — your timeline, your property's condition, and how much hands-on work you're willing to take on.

List With A Real Estate Agent

Best if your house is in good condition, you're not in a rush, and you want to maximize sale price on the open market. Expect to invest in repairs and staging, pay a 5–6% commission, and wait 30–90+ days for a financed buyer to close.

Sell It Yourself (FSBO)

Best if you have real estate experience and time to manage showings, negotiations, and paperwork yourself. You avoid a listing agent's commission, but you take on all the marketing, legal, and negotiation work — and buyer financing timelines still apply.

Sell Directly For Cash

Best if you need speed and certainty — facing foreclosure, an inherited property, a difficult tenant situation, or a house that needs more repair work than you want to take on. No showings, no repairs, no financing risk, and you can close in as little as 7–14 days.

Not sure which fits your situation? Owner Matthew Moisan is a licensed Massachusetts real estate agent with RE/MAX Encore as well as a licensed contractor, so we can walk you through what each path would actually look like for your specific property — including what the repairs would really cost. No pressure either way.
