Tell us about your property.

Tell us about the property you may sell. In your message, include the property type, your timing, whether it’s occupied and any questions. If you’re also buying, tell us where you hope to move. You can start the conversation before setting a list price.

Your property & contact details

By proceeding, you consent to receive calls, texts and voicemails at the number you provided (may be recorded and may be autodialed and use prerecorded and artificial voices), and email, from Boston City Properties about your inquiry and other home-related matters. Msg/data rates may apply. This consent applies even if you are on a do not call list and is not a condition of any purchase.

This is an inquiry to our team. It does not publish a listing.

Working with our Boston office

From deciding to sell to handing over the keys.

Start with your property and what comes next. Discuss representation, the proposed services and fees with your agent before choosing a listing plan.

Set a price with context

Review recent sales of similar homes, current competing listings and your home’s condition with your agent. For a Boston condo, include the building, floor, parking rights, outdoor space and monthly fees in that conversation.

Prepare the home and the launch

Decide what should be handled before photography and showings. Agree on the listing presentation, marketing channels and showing schedule. Ask which proposed services are included and which would cost extra.

Look at the whole offer

Review price, financing, contingencies and dates with your agent. Your attorney can explain the contract and how Massachusetts home-inspection rules affect the transaction. Keep your next move in the discussion.

Massachusetts home inspection guidance

Work toward closing

Keep track of agreed deadlines, inspection follow-up and property access with your agent and attorney. Confirm required documents, mortgage payoff details and closing costs with the professionals handling your sale.

Before you list

Get the details ready.

Bring the questions that are specific to your home. You don’t need every answer before contacting us.

Selling a condo?

Gather the condo fee and what it includes, association documents, available reserve information and any known special assessments or upcoming work. Confirm what the documents say about parking, storage and outdoor space with your attorney.

Which work comes first?

Before starting a renovation, talk through your timing and budget with your agent. Separate known repairs from presentation choices, and gather records for completed work. Ask what can reasonably be finished before the proposed launch.

Is someone living there?

Flag an existing lease, a tenant’s occupancy or your own move-out plans early. Discuss access for photos and showings. If the property is rented, ask your attorney how the lease affects the sale and possession dates.

Current listings

See what buyers
are comparing.

Browse current asking prices for context. Active listings are not closed sales; work through recent comparable sales and a pricing recommendation with your agent.

Owner resources

A few things
to check early.

Review smoke and CO inspection requirements with your local fire department, and discuss other property-transfer requirements with your attorney. Boston properties use the Boston Fire Department process; other cities and towns handle their own scheduling.

Your next move

What comes
after the sale?

Buying your next home?

Discuss the timing of both transactions with your agent and lender, including whether your next purchase depends on this sale.

Have a different property plan?

For rental properties or commercial real estate, choose the conversation that fits your plans.
