Quincy owners selling for cash are often dealing with a parent's house in Wollaston or Houghs Neck, a two-family in Quincy Point, or a place by the water with flood worries. A cash buyer handles the repairs and the timing so you don't have to.

Common situations in Norfolk County
How each one works locally — and why a cash sale can help. General information, not legal advice.
Probate and inherited houses
Quincy estates are filed with the Probate and Family Court division for the county, which sits in Canton. Check first whether the house was held in a trust or with a surviving joint owner, because then it may not need probate at all.
More on probate and inherited houses →Behind on the mortgage
Quincy foreclosure deeds are recorded at the county registry of deeds in Dedham. Owners usually receive a right-to-cure notice first, and later a notice of the auction date. You own the house until the sale, so you can usually still sell.
More on behind on the mortgage →Behind on property taxes
Quincy's treasurer and collector handles city property taxes; a long-unpaid bill can become a tax taking recorded against the house, cleared only by paying it.
More on behind on property taxes →Code violations and city orders
Quincy's inspectional services department takes building and housing code complaints, and the city's health department handles sanitary-code problems such as heat and pests.
More on code violations and city orders →Tired of being a landlord
Quincy evictions are heard in the Massachusetts Housing Court or in the Quincy District Court. You can sell with tenants in place — paying, behind, or mid-eviction.
More on tired of being a landlord →No fees or commissions, no showings or repairs, and buyers never see your contact details until you choose one. How DealSherpa works.
Selling for cash in Quincy: questions
My Quincy house is in a flood zone. Will a cash buyer still make an offer?
Yes. A cash buyer doesn't need a lender's flood insurance approval to close, so flood-zone houses in Quincy sell for cash regularly. Share any flood insurance history and elevation certificate you have.
How fast can I sell my house for cash in Quincy?
Massachusetts sales are closed by an attorney, who pays off the mortgage and any city taxes and records the deed at the county registry of deeds. Before closing, the seller usually needs a smoke and carbon monoxide alarm certificate from the local fire department. Once you accept an offer, most Norfolk County cash sales close in one to three weeks — sooner if there's no estate or lien paperwork to clear, or later on a date you choose.
