Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: The focus at Hilary Dunlavey Homes is to help you sell your house with the method that works best for your unique goals. If you’re looking for speed and convenience, Hilary’s investors can buy your house for cash in as little as 14 days or on your timeline. If your priority is maximizing your profits with the sale of your home, Hilary’s cutting-edge marketing strategy can ensure a fast and profitable sale of your Boston-area property.
Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: Many of the houses we purchase are below market value. We do this so we can resell them at a profit to another homeowner at a later date. Due to this, when we buy directly from a homeowner for cash, we are looking to get a reasonable discount on the property. Plus, no effort or expense is required on your part to fix up the property, and we never charge a commission with our direct home purchases.
If this sounds like what you’re looking for and you see the value in getting your house sold fast, let’s see if we can come to a price that’s a win for both parties. Our no-obligation pricing commitment means that you do not have to move forward with the offer we give… but it’s good to know what we’re offering!
DOWNLOAD our free guide that walks you through the Pros and Cons (plus the cost and timeline) of selling your house to a real estate investor, agent, or someone who is both (that would be Hilary Dunlavey Homes!) as well as the pros, cons, and costs of the other two alternatives – listing with a traditional agent or selling it yourself.
Q: How do you determine the price to offer for my house?
A: Great question! Our process is very straightforward. We look at the location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition of the property, and the value of comparable houses sold in the area recently. Using this information, we come up with a price that we hope is a win-win for both parties.
Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: Since we are both real estate investors able to pay cash and licensed and reputable real estate agents, we have multiple ways we can sell your house or property. If you choose to have us list your house with our proprietary marketing methods that can sell your Boston house faster and for more than with a traditional agent, our fees are similar to other agents. However, our Cash Offer Program has NO FEES and no commissions. In some cases, we can even pay for all of your closing costs.

Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: When we first started looking into the investment side of real estate, we discovered that many Boston homeowners were having their needs ignored and under-served by real estate investors AND agents. For most real estate agents to take on a listing, the house has to be “show ready,” which often requires you to pay for repairs, hold open houses and daily showings, and deal with the often-stressful problem of buyers backing out at the last minute or financing falling through. On the other hand, many direct cash investors make offers based on a formula that works for their business model, but for a seller who isn’t necessarily in a hurry or is willing to go through the traditional selling process, that cash offer can be way too low.
What sets us apart is our commitment to providing you with options. We understand that every situation is unique, which is why we offer a range of choices so you can select the solution that best suits your needs. At Hilary Dunlavey Homes, we can serve you with several options to sell, and you can pick the one that best helps you reach your goals. If you’re after speed and convenience, don’t want to deal with repairs, and you’re willing to give up a bit of equity for that convenience, our Cash Offer Program may be right for you. If you’re looking to maximize your profit and have the patience to wait for the perfect retail buyer, we’ve got you covered. We’ll list your home on the market to ensure you get the highest possible price in the shortest amount of time.
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
A: There is absolutely zero obligation to receive our all-cash offer. Once you tell us a bit about your property, we’ll take a look at things and set up a call with you to find out a bit more. If your home qualifies, we can make you an all-cash offer fast. From there, it’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell your house to us. We want you to decide what’s right for you.
