Terms and Conditions

Effective Date: October 1, 2026
Last Updated: October 1, 2026

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of massachusettsfirehousebuyer.com (the “Website”) and the services offered through the Website by Massachusetts Fire House Buyer (“Massachusetts Fire House Buyer,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

Please read these Terms carefully.

By accessing the Website, submitting information concerning a property, requesting a cash offer, or otherwise using the Website, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree with these Terms, do not use the Website.

1. Purpose of the Website

The Website allows homeowners, property owners, and authorized representatives to submit information regarding real estate that they may wish to sell, including fire-damaged, distressed, inherited, vacant, or otherwise difficult-to-sell properties.

Depending on the property and market, we may:

  • Evaluate the property ourselves;
  • Purchase or seek to purchase the property;
  • Facilitate a possible cash offer;
  • Match the seller with a local cash buyer;
  • Refer or route the opportunity to an affiliated or independent real estate investor;
  • Connect the seller with another prospective purchaser; or
  • Determine that neither we nor a participating buyer is interested.

Nothing displayed on the Website constitutes a binding offer to purchase real estate.

2. Our Role

Massachusetts Fire House Buyer operates within the real estate investment, cash-buyer, property-acquisition, and lead-generation marketplace.

Depending on a particular inquiry, we may act as:

  • A prospective property purchaser;
  • A real estate investor;
  • A property-acquisition business;
  • A lead-generation or marketing platform;
  • A service connecting property owners with local cash buyers;
  • An affiliate or business partner of another real estate investor; or
  • A combination of these roles.

Unless expressly established by a separate written agreement, we do not act as your:

  • Real estate broker;
  • Seller’s real estate agent;
  • Attorney;
  • Accountant;
  • Financial adviser;
  • Tax adviser;
  • Insurance adviser;
  • Contractor;
  • Engineer;
  • Fiduciary; or
  • Other professional adviser.

3. No Obligation to Sell

Submitting a property or requesting an offer does not obligate you to sell your property.

You may decline a proposed offer unless and until you have entered into a legally enforceable written agreement that provides otherwise.

4. No Obligation to Purchase

Submitting property information does not require Massachusetts Fire House Buyer or any:

  • Affiliate;
  • Cash buyer;
  • Investor;
  • Wholesaler;
  • Acquisition partner;
  • Business partner; or
  • Other prospective purchaser

to evaluate the property, make an offer, continue negotiations, purchase the property, or complete a transaction.

5. Eligibility and Authority

By using the Website or submitting property information, you represent that:

  • You are at least 18 years old;
  • You have legal capacity to enter contracts;
  • Information you provide is materially accurate to the best of your knowledge;
  • You own the property, have an ownership interest, or are authorized to communicate concerning it; and
  • Your use of the Website complies with applicable law.

If multiple people own a property, submission of information by one owner does not necessarily establish authority to bind all other owners.

6. Information About Your Property

We may request information including:

  • Property address;
  • Contact information;
  • Property condition;
  • Fire or other damage information;
  • Desired sale timeline;
  • When you acquired the property;
  • Your reason for considering a sale;
  • Occupancy;
  • Repairs;
  • Insurance matters;
  • Ownership information; and
  • Other information relevant to evaluating a potential transaction.

You agree not to knowingly provide materially false, fraudulent, misleading, or unauthorized information.

7. Property Research

When you submit a property, you authorize us and parties evaluating the opportunity to research the property using lawful sources.

Research may include:

  • Registry of Deeds records;
  • Municipal assessor records;
  • Tax records;
  • Recorded deeds;
  • Ownership records;
  • Mortgages;
  • Liens and encumbrances;
  • Court or probate information;
  • Foreclosure information;
  • Building permits;
  • Zoning information;
  • Sales history;
  • Comparable property sales;
  • Estimated property values;
  • Property characteristics;
  • Mapping information;
  • Commercial real estate databases; and
  • Other public or commercially available information.

8. Matching With Local Cash Buyers

The Website facilitates connections between property owners and potential cash buyers.

After reviewing information concerning a property, we may connect you with an affiliated or independent:

  • Local cash buyer;
  • Real estate investor;
  • Property-acquisition company;
  • Wholesaler;
  • Investment group;
  • Redevelopment company;
  • Acquisition partner; or
  • Other prospective purchaser.

A prospective buyer may contact you directly and independently evaluate your property.

Independent buyers are responsible for their own:

  • Offers;
  • Representations;
  • Property evaluations;
  • Due diligence;
  • Contracts;
  • Financing;
  • Privacy practices;
  • Performance; and
  • Compliance with law.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, we do not guarantee the conduct or performance of an independent buyer.

9. Offers and Valuations

Any:

  • Cash offer;
  • Preliminary offer;
  • Estimated offer;
  • Property valuation;
  • Price range;
  • Repair estimate; or
  • Other preliminary indication of transaction value

is non-binding unless expressly made binding through a legally enforceable written agreement.

Potential offers may take into account:

  • After-repair value;
  • Property condition;
  • Fire damage;
  • Smoke damage;
  • Water damage;
  • Structural damage;
  • Property location;
  • Comparable property sales;
  • Estimated repair costs;
  • Estimated renovation costs;
  • Estimated resale expenses;
  • Property taxes;
  • Insurance;
  • Closing expenses;
  • Holding costs;
  • Market conditions;
  • Buyer demand;
  • Desired investment return;
  • Title condition;
  • Mortgages;
  • Liens;
  • Occupancy; and
  • Information discovered during due diligence.

A preliminary offer may be modified or withdrawn before execution of a binding written agreement.

10. Offer Formula

The Website may describe an example offer formula based on:

After Repair Value – Repair Costs – Selling Costs – Investor Return

Any such formula is illustrative.

Actual prospective buyers may use different assumptions, cost estimates, valuation methodologies, risk assessments, or investment criteria.

No specific formula or percentage is guaranteed for every offer.

11. Binding Real Estate Transactions

A binding property transaction arises only when the appropriate parties execute legally enforceable written transaction documents.

An actual purchase may be subject to matters including:

  • Verification of ownership;
  • Title examination;
  • Property access;
  • Inspection rights;
  • Due diligence;
  • Confirmation of property condition;
  • Resolution of liens or encumbrances;
  • Financing or proof of funds where relevant;
  • Closing-attorney requirements;
  • Required disclosures;
  • Municipal requirements; and
  • Other conditions contained in the applicable written agreement.

12. As-Is Property Sales

The Website advertises the possibility of selling properties in their current or “as-is” condition.

An as-is sale may allow a property owner to avoid making negotiated repairs before closing.

However, an “as-is” provision does not automatically eliminate legal duties concerning:

  • Fraud;
  • Intentional misrepresentation;
  • Required statutory disclosures;
  • Lead paint;
  • Septic systems where applicable;
  • Title;
  • Contractual representations;
  • Home-inspection rights; or
  • Other duties imposed by law.

The actual rights and obligations of the parties will be governed by the applicable written agreement and Massachusetts law.

13. Massachusetts Residential Home Inspection Rights

Massachusetts law protects the right of buyers of certain residential properties to choose whether to obtain a home inspection.

For covered transactions, a seller may not condition acceptance of an offer on a prospective buyer’s agreement to waive, restrict, or otherwise forego the buyer’s applicable home-inspection rights.

A seller also may be prohibited from accepting an offer when the prospective buyer has indicated in advance that the buyer intends to waive applicable inspection rights.

Where required by Massachusetts law, the appropriate residential home-inspection disclosure must be provided and signed within the legally required timeframe.

A buyer may independently decide after receiving required disclosures not to conduct an inspection where permitted by law.

Nothing on this Website, including references to “no inspection,” “no formal inspection,” “as-is,” or similar language, is intended to:

  • Require a buyer to waive legally protected inspection rights;
  • Condition acceptance of an offer on an inspection waiver; or
  • Avoid any disclosure required under Massachusetts law.

The specific rules, exceptions, and requirements applicable to an individual transaction depend on the property and circumstances.

14. Lead Paint

Massachusetts and federal law impose disclosure requirements relating to lead paint for certain residential properties built before 1978.

Where applicable, sellers may be required to provide prospective purchasers with:

  • Required lead-paint notifications;
  • Known information regarding lead hazards;
  • Existing lead inspection or risk-assessment reports; and
  • Other legally required documents.

An as-is cash sale does not eliminate applicable lead-paint disclosure requirements.

15. Septic Systems and Title 5

Properties served by private septic systems may be subject to Massachusetts Title 5 requirements.

Depending on the transaction and applicable exceptions, those requirements may involve:

  • Septic system inspection;
  • Notice to a buyer;
  • Providing inspection reports;
  • Repair or upgrade requirements; and
  • Filing or reporting obligations.

Nothing on the Website waives applicable Title 5 requirements.

Owners of properties with septic systems should determine which requirements apply to their transaction.

16. Property Condition and Seller Disclosures

Massachusetts does not impose identical disclosure obligations on every type of seller or transaction.

Private residential sellers who are not acting in the business of selling real estate may have different affirmative disclosure duties than real estate professionals or businesses.

However, specific statutory disclosure requirements, contractual obligations, restrictions against fraud or misrepresentation, and other legal duties may still apply.

Fire damage, smoke damage, water damage, structural issues, prior repairs, insurance claims, environmental conditions, and other property facts may be relevant to a particular transaction.

You are responsible for obtaining appropriate legal advice regarding disclosure obligations applicable to your property.

Nothing on the Website constitutes a definitive statement that every Massachusetts seller must affirmatively disclose every particular condition in every transaction.

17. Fast Closing and Similar Advertising Statements

The Website may advertise:

  • Cash offers within approximately 24 hours;
  • Closings in approximately 7 or 10 days;
  • Flexible closing dates;
  • No repairs;
  • As-is purchases;
  • No real estate-agent commissions;
  • No seller fees;
  • Buyer-paid closing costs;
  • No financing contingencies; or
  • Other streamlined transaction features.

These statements describe transaction structures that may be available.

They do not guarantee that every property or transaction will qualify for identical timing or terms.

Actual transaction terms may depend on:

  • Property condition;
  • Ownership;
  • Title;
  • Mortgages;
  • Liens;
  • Buyer availability;
  • Required inspection rights;
  • Required disclosures;
  • Closing-attorney requirements;
  • Due diligence;
  • Property access;
  • Municipal matters; and
  • Other circumstances.

18. No Repairs and No Formal Inspections

References on the Website to buying property without repairs or without a formal inspection describe potential investment-buying practices.

They do not:

  • Require a seller to conceal property defects;
  • Eliminate required disclosures;
  • Restrict a prospective buyer’s statutory inspection rights;
  • Waive legally required environmental or septic requirements; or
  • Override the terms of an executed purchase agreement.

19. Closing Costs, Fees, and Commissions

Where a prospective buyer agrees to:

  • Pay closing costs;
  • Structure a transaction without a real estate broker;
  • Waive particular buyer-imposed fees; or
  • Purchase without charging a seller commission,

the specific obligations of the parties will be determined by the signed transaction documents.

Website statements such as “no fees,” “no commissions,” or “we pay closing costs” do not override the terms of an executed agreement.

20. Telephone Communications

By providing a telephone number and requesting information or an offer, you authorize us to respond to your inquiry using the number provided.

Calls may concern:

  • Your property;
  • Your requested offer;
  • Scheduling;
  • Buyer matching;
  • Property research;
  • Follow-up;
  • Potential transactions; and
  • Related services.

Where applicable law requires separate consent for automated dialing, artificial or prerecorded voice technology, or marketing communications, such communications are subject to applicable consent requirements.

21. Recording of Communications

Massachusetts law restricts secret recording or interception of wire and oral communications.

If we or a service provider acting on our behalf records a private telephone call or other communication, appropriate notice and legally required authorization will be obtained.

Use of the Website alone does not constitute blanket authorization to record private communications.

22. Text Messages

  • Your inquiry;
  • Your property;
  • Scheduling;
  • Your requested offer;
  • Buyer matching;
  • Follow-up; and
  • Related services.

Where legally required, additional consent will be obtained for automated or marketing text communications.

Consent to marketing text messages is not a condition of receiving a cash offer or selling a property where prohibited by applicable law.

Message and data rates may apply.

Message frequency may vary.

You may request that text messages stop by replying STOP to an applicable message.

23. Email Communications

By providing an email address, you authorize us to respond to your inquiry and communicate concerning:

  • Your property;
  • Potential buyers;
  • Potential offers;
  • Scheduling;
  • Follow-up; and

Applicable promotional emails will provide an unsubscribe method.

  • Other digital communications.

25. Privacy

The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms to the extent permitted by law.

26. Independent Decision-Making

  • Financial;

The Website may display or reference third-party:

  • Publications;
  • Media outlets;
  • Websites;
  • Platforms;
  • Brands;
  • Companies;
  • Trademarks; or
  • Logos.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, a reference to a third party does not necessarily mean that the third party sponsors, endorses, approves, or is affiliated with Massachusetts Fire House Buyer.

Third-party names and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners.

32. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Website may link to or integrate third-party services.

We do not control and are not responsible for third-party:

  • Content;
  • Availability;
  • Privacy practices;
  • Security;

  • Products;
  • Services; or
  • Conduct.

Your use of a third-party service is subject to that party’s terms and policies.

33. Website Availability

We may modify, suspend, restrict, or discontinue any part of the Website at any time.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, continuously available, or completely secure Website access.

34. No Guarantee of Transaction

We do not guarantee:

  • That every property will receive an offer;
  • That an offer will equal fair market value;
  • That an offer will meet your expectations;
  • That a preliminary offer will remain available;
  • That an independent buyer will proceed;
  • That the property will sell;
  • That a transaction will close;
  • That closing will occur within any advertised timeframe; or
  • That you will achieve a particular financial outcome.

35. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE WEBSITE AND WEBSITE CONTENT ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS.

WE DISCLAIM WARRANTIES THAT MAY LAWFULLY BE DISCLAIMED, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF:

  • MERCHANTABILITY;
  • FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE;
  • TITLE; AND
  • NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE WEBSITE WILL ALWAYS BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, SECURE, AVAILABLE, OR ERROR-FREE.

Nothing in these Terms excludes rights or warranties that cannot legally be excluded.

36. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, MASSACHUSETTS FIRE HOUSE BUYER AND ITS AFFILIATES, OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND BUSINESS PARTNERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING SOLELY FROM OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR CLAIMS ARISING SOLELY FROM YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE WILL NOT EXCEED $500.

This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded.

Rights and liabilities arising under a separately executed real estate transaction agreement will be governed by that agreement and are not subject to this Website-only liability cap unless the transaction agreement expressly provides otherwise.

37. Independent Third-Party Buyers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for the independent conduct, statements, pricing decisions, contracts, privacy practices, due diligence, performance, or failure to perform of unaffiliated third-party buyers to whom an opportunity is referred.

Nothing in this provision excludes liability that applicable law does not permit us to exclude.

38. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Massachusetts Fire House Buyer and its affiliates, owners, officers, employees, agents, and service providers from claims, liabilities, losses, damages, and reasonable costs arising from:

  • Your unlawful use of the Website;
  • Your material breach of these Terms;
  • Fraudulent information you knowingly submit;
  • Property information you knowingly provide without authority; or
  • Your violation of another person’s rights.

39. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

40. Venue and Disputes

Subject to applicable jurisdiction, venue, and consumer-protection requirements, legal proceedings arising solely from the Website or these Terms may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction located in Suffolk County, Massachusetts.

These Website Terms do not impose mandatory arbitration.

A separately executed purchase agreement or other transaction-specific agreement may contain different dispute-resolution provisions. Those provisions govern disputes arising from that particular agreement.

41. Massachusetts Consumer Protection Laws

Nothing in these Terms is intended to waive rights that cannot lawfully be waived under Massachusetts consumer-protection law or other applicable law.

Where a provision of these Terms conflicts with a non-waivable statutory right, applicable law controls.

42. Relationship to Purchase Agreements

These Terms govern Website use.

They do not replace:

  • Real estate purchase agreements;
  • Assignment agreements;
  • Option agreements;
  • Closing documents;
  • Attorney escrow arrangements; or
  • Other transaction-specific contracts.

If these Terms conflict with a signed agreement concerning a particular property transaction, the signed transaction agreement controls regarding that transaction.

We may revise these Terms periodically.

Updated Terms become effective when posted or on another effective date identified with the revised Terms, subject to applicable law.

44. Severability

If a provision of these Terms is determined to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the greatest extent legally permitted or severed as appropriate.

The remaining provisions will continue in effect.

45. No Waiver

Our failure to enforce a provision does not waive our right to enforce that provision or another provision later.

46. Assignment

You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent.

We may assign these Terms in connection with:

  • A merger;
  • Acquisition;
  • Financing;
  • Corporate restructuring;
  • Affiliate restructuring;
  • Sale of assets; or
  • Similar business transaction,

subject to applicable law.

47. Entire Agreement Regarding Website Use

They do not supersede separately executed real estate transaction documents.
