Cash offer vs. listing with an agent in Massachusetts: the real math
A cash sale to a buyer like New England Home Partners is faster and more certain, with no agent commissions, no repairs, and a close on your timeline — but the offer is below full retail because it reflects the home's as-is condition. Listing with an agent can bring a higher gross sale price, but after roughly 5–6% commission, repairs and prep, closing costs, and months of carrying costs and uncertainty, the two paths often land closer together than the sticker numbers suggest.

Selling your house for cash is taxed the same as any other home sale — the buyer being a cash buyer does not change what you may owe.
