Case work
No two distressed assets fail the same way. These are the situations we are asked to resolve most often.
Vacant 14 monthsBoston, MA
Bank-owned two-family with water damage across the second floor and an open building violation. We secured the property within eight hours of assignment, negotiated the violation down to a compliance order, and completed a $46,000 scope covering roof, plumbing risers and unit turnover.
Occupied at assignmentQuincy, MA
Occupied post-foreclosure asset resolved through a negotiated cash-for-keys agreement in nineteen days, avoiding a summary process filing. Cosmetic-only make-ready followed, and the property sold to an owner-occupant buyer.
HOA arrearsBoston, MA
Condominium unit carrying $18,400 in association arrears and a pending lien. We negotiated a settled payoff, cleared the municipal lien certificate, and staged the unit for a spring listing window.
Tenant in placeWorcester, MA
Three-unit property with two lawful tenancies. We reviewed both leases under Massachusetts law, stabilised rent collection and marketed the asset as a performing investment rather than a vacant shell.
Fire damageLynn, MA
Partial fire loss requiring emergency board-up, insurance claim coordination and a structural assessment. The client elected an as-is disposition; we marketed to a qualified investor pool and closed in cash.
Deferred maintenanceFramingham, MA
Long-vacant colonial with severe deferred maintenance. Our recommendation was a targeted $28,000 scope rather than the $61,000 full renovation quoted elsewhere; the value gap did not justify the additional spend.
“Days to list-ready” is measured from the date of assignment to the date the property was certified fit to photograph and list, including any occupancy resolution. “Repair spend” is the total of approved line-item work excluding disbursements such as municipal fees and utility deposits. “Sale vs. reserve” compares the achieved gross sale price to the client's internal reserve figure at the time of assignment.
Past results are described for illustration and do not constitute a forecast. Every asset carries its own condition, title, municipal and market circumstances, and outcomes vary accordingly. Please read our Disclaimer.
