FAQ
Springfield direct from owner questions.
- Do I need my own agent to buy FSBO in Springfield?
- Not legally. Many buyers hire a flat-fee transaction attorney instead to draft and review the Massachusetts contract.
- Who handles title and escrow?
- A local Massachusetts title company or closing attorney. Either side can choose; cost is typically split or negotiated.
- Can I still get a mortgage?
- Yes. Buying direct from an owner doesn't change your loan options. You can also negotiate owner financing.
