Wholesaling Real Estate in Norfolk County, Massachusetts
Norfolk County wholesaling gives you a way into an expensive South Shore and MetroWest market without buying or rehabbing anything. You win the right to purchase a house below value, then assign that contract to an investor who pays you for it.
Most Norfolk County foreclosures run under a mortgage's power of sale rather than a full court case, so wholesalers who reach owners before the auction notice runs have the best shot at a deal.

Why wholesale houses in Norfolk County?
A Norfolk County wholesaler holds a house with a purchase and sale agreement and a deposit, not a mortgage. The investor who takes over the contract funds the renovation and manages the trades, and a clean assignment can finish in a few weeks.
Norfolk County investors who follow probate cases, divorce filings and foreclosure notices, and who call owners before anyone else, find the houses that never hit the MLS.
How does a Norfolk County wholesale deal work?
Here is the route a Norfolk County deal takes, from first lead to fee:
- Find a distressed property
Reach Norfolk County heirs, worn-out landlords and owners facing foreclosure with focused direct marketing. - Run the numbers
Pin down the after-repair value (ARV) from recent sales in the same town, since your offer depends on it. - Sign a purchase contract
Settle on a price that protects your fee and still leaves the investor a profit after repairs. - Find a cash buyer
Bring the signed agreement to flippers, landlords and cash buyers you know south of Boston. - Assign the contract
Assign your rights under the purchase agreement to the investor for the agreed fee. - Collect your fee
Your fee is paid from the investor's funds when the Norfolk County sale closes.

How do you price a wholesale offer in Norfolk County?
In Norfolk County, every offer starts with the ARV, the value of the house once it is fixed.
The 70% Rule caps the investor's price at 70% of ARV minus repairs. Your fee comes out of that same figure, so your contract with a Norfolk County owner has to land below it.
Wholesale offer example

|---|---|
| ARV | $799,900 |
| 70% of ARV − repairs ($64,000) | $495,930 |
| Your assignment fee | − $24,000 |

ForeclosuresDaily off-market opportunities before your competition
Norfolk County at a glance
In general, Massachusetts foreclosures are usually nonjudicial.
Homeowners get 90 days to cure the default, the sale is advertised for three consecutive weeks and usually held at the property, and there is no right to buy the home back afterward. In Norfolk County, contracts signed before the sale date leave time to find a buyer.
What changed recently: For Massachusetts tax titles recorded on or after November 1, 2024, interest on unpaid property taxes dropped from 16% to 8% a year. Owners who lose a home to a tax foreclosure can now recover the equity above what they owed, and towns can offer payment plans of up to 10 years (Mass. Division of Local Services).
