Rhode Island + Southern Massachusetts
How our cash offer works, how fast we close, what condition the house can be in, and what it costs — no scripts, no pressure. Tim and Cheryl Casserly answer these by phone every day: 401-636-2878.
You send us the address online or by phone. We text you back right away and call within the hour, then we look at the property — condition, any occupants, any liens or balances — and give you a written cash offer the same day.
If the number works, we sign a simple purchase agreement and your closing attorney orders the title work and municipal lien certificates, same as any Rhode Island closing. You pick the date; we can close in about 7–14 days or wait if you need more time.
Yes. We buy houses with roof leaks, fire damage, failed heating systems, hoarder conditions, unpermitted additions, code violations, and decades of deferred maintenance. We have been buying, building and renovating Rhode Island property since 2002, so condition is the normal part of the job for us — not a reason to renegotiate later.
You do not need to clean, repair, or empty the house. Take what you want and leave the rest.
We buy single family houses, two- and three-family buildings, larger apartment buildings, vacant and problem houses, inherited and estate properties, raw land and buildable lots, and commercial property, anywhere in Rhode Island and in southern Massachusetts.
If it is real estate in our area, send the address — the answer is almost never no.
We start from what the property would be worth fixed up, then subtract our renovation costs and our margin. Because we renovate with our own crews, our numbers are real and we do not pad them.
The offer is free and non-binding. Plenty of people take the number, compare it to listing with an agent, and come back to us months later — that is fine with us.
No commissions — we are buyers, not agents. We cover the normal closing costs on our side, and typical seller items like title, municipal lien certificates and payoffs are handled through the closing attorney out of the proceeds, exactly as they would be in any sale.
The number in our written offer is what you can count on at closing, subject only to ordinary title items.
Most of our Rhode Island closings happen in 7–14 days from a signed agreement, because there is no lender, no appraisal contingency, and no mortgage underwriting.
The title work is usually the only pace-setter. If you need to move faster or slower — including timing around a probate or a relocation — we write the closing date to fit your schedule.
We buy houses with mortgages, home equity lines, back taxes and liens — those get paid off at closing from the proceeds. Rhode Island sellers facing foreclosure should call early; a sale before the auction date is how you protect whatever equity is left.
If you owe more than the property is worth, we will tell you honestly whether a sale makes sense and point you to the free counseling options available through Rhode Island Housing and HUD-approved agencies.
We buy occupied buildings as they sit, including with tenants at will and non-paying tenants. You do not need to deliver the property vacant, and you do not need to negotiate with the tenants — we take that on after closing.
No. Many of our sellers are out of state — especially heirs selling an inherited house. Everything can be handled remotely: a walkthrough we arrange, documents signed electronically, and a closing completed through your attorney without you traveling here.
None. The offer is written, free, and non-binding. You can take it to your attorney, your family, or an agent for comparison. Nothing is binding on either side until a written purchase agreement is signed.
