About Suffolk County
Selling a house in Suffolk County
Suffolk County, Massachusetts, sits on Boston Harbor and is made up of Boston, Chelsea, Revere and Winthrop; county government was largely abolished in 1999 and many functions passed to the state and the City of Boston. Boston is the county seat and state capital. Higher education, hospitals and biomedical research, finance and insurance, and tourism define the economy.
Suffolk County is the 4th-most populous county in Massachusetts, home to about 793,144 people. Its cities and towns include Boston, Revere, and Chelsea, and it covers 35 ZIP codes.
Major employers in Suffolk County include Mass General Brigham, Boston Children's Hospital, Beth Israel Lahey Health, State Street, and Boston University, and it is home to Boston University and Northeastern University.
Landmarks include Boston National Historical Park, Boston Harbor Islands, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and Emerald Necklace Conservancy.
Suffolk County borders Norfolk County, Essex County, and Middlesex County. We buy houses across all of them, and anywhere else in Massachusetts.
In Suffolk County, 72% of the housing went up before 1980 and 64% of households are renters. About 8% of homes stand empty. Older houses often need work a listing would expect you to fix first; we buy them as-is, with no repairs or cleaning. With so many rentals, investors often sell to us with tenants in place, and we pay the closing costs.
Whether the house is inherited, facing foreclosure, behind on property taxes or simply no longer fits, selling in Suffolk County starts with the address. The deed, any liens and the county's tax records are cleared through the title company at closing; the deed is recorded with Suffolk County Registry of Deeds, and property values and taxes are kept by City of Boston Assessing Department.
