How the Process Works

Massachusetts is an attorney-supervised state. The journey starts with a solid pre-approval, followed by working with a dedicated Buyer's Agent from Paramount Properties. We guide you through the offer stage, the formal Purchase and Sale Agreement (P&S), home inspections, and finally, the closing table where your attorney ensures a smooth deed transfer.

Yes. Massachusetts law requires a licensed attorney to be present at closing to review contracts and manage the title search. We have a list of preferred lenders and attorneys we can help you choose.

The P&S is the formal contract that follows an accepted offer. It outlines price, contingencies, and closing dates, and should be reviewed by your attorney.

A resale purchase typically takes 45 to 90 days. New construction timelines vary based on the build stage of the community.
