The average Burlington home sits on the market for ... days. We can close in 7. Get a fair, no-obligation cash offer today and skip the repairs, fees, and delays.
"I know the Burlington market is unique. I know driving I-89 to South Burlington is a grind. I see Ranch and Split-Level homes dealing with Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) panels or strict historic preservation guidelines. Unlike Coldwell Banker Hickok & Boardman Realty, I don't ask you to fix it. I buy it as-is, saving you $28,500 in commissions. We handle the Burlington Electric Department and City of Burlington Assessor's Office paperwork for you."
Max Cohen, Founder of MyFastCashOffer

Inheriting a property in Burlington can bring unforeseen responsibilities, especially when navigating the probate process. In Vermont, probate is a judicial process that can be lengthy and complex. The Chittenden County Superior Court oversees these matters, and delays are common, adding to the emotional and financial burden on heirs.
Selling a probate property often involves legal fees, maintenance costs, and disputes among beneficiaries. Our cash offer process simplifies this. We can acquire the property directly, allowing you to avoid prolonged court proceedings, property upkeep, and the traditional sales cycle. This provides a clean break and liquid assets for all parties involved, without waiting for the Chittenden County Superior Court to finalize all aspects of the estate.
We work with heirs and estate attorneys to ensure a smooth transaction, even before probate is fully complete, depending on court approvals. This can significantly reduce the stress and financial strain associated with inherited Burlington homes.
Facing foreclosure in Burlington is a daunting prospect. Vermont is a judicial foreclosure state, meaning the lender must go through the court system to seize and sell your property. This process can be lengthy, with Vermont's judicial foreclosure process spanning 180 to 365+ days from initial default to final sale. While this provides some time, the stress of impending loss and damage to your credit can be immense.
We offer a proactive solution. By selling your Burlington home for cash before the final foreclosure date, you can avoid a public record foreclosure on your credit report, pay off your mortgage, and potentially retain equity. Our fast closing times mean we can often intervene even when time is running out, offering a dignified exit strategy.
Don't wait for a sheriff's sale. Contact us to understand your options and see how a quick cash sale can help you regain control of your financial future and avoid the full impact of a foreclosure filed in Chittenden County Superior Court.
Burlington's municipal code enforcement can be stringent, particularly concerning older properties. Issues like unpermitted renovations, aging infrastructure, or properties with significant material defects such as Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) panels can lead to code violations and substantial fines if not addressed. Selling a home with these problems traditionally means costly repairs and navigating complex permit applications with the City of Burlington before a buyer will even consider it.
MyFastCashOffer specializes in buying properties as-is, regardless of outstanding permits or code violations. You won't need to spend time or money retrofitting old systems, bringing electrical panels up to current code, or dealing with potentially expensive repairs for conditions like Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) panels. We take on the responsibility and cost of resolving these issues after purchase.
This means a faster sale for you, without the headache of contractors, inspections, or the bureaucracy of the City of Burlington Assessor's Office or planning department. Get a cash offer and move forward.
Many Burlington homes, particularly those of Ranch and Split-Level style built between 1950-1980, require significant updates. Here's a look at common repair costs:
| Repair Type | Estimated Cost (Burlington, VT) | Our Offer (No Repairs Needed) |
|---|---|---|
| Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) panels Replacement | $2,500 - $4,500 | Included in Cash Offer |
| New Roof | $10,000 - $20,000 | Included in Cash Offer |
| Foundation Repair | $5,000 - $30,000+ | Included in Cash Offer |
Max's Insight:
Burlington code enforcement is strict about historic preservation guidelines. Selling a property with unaddressed violations can be a long, costly ordeal. We buy with the violation attached, taking on the burden so you don't have to.

The heart of the city, Downtown Burlington, is known for its vibrant atmosphere, Lake Champlain waterfront access, and cultural attractions. Homes here are often older, reflecting the city's rich history, and can range from historic Victorian-era houses to modern condominiums. Living downtown means proximity to businesses, dining, and public transit, often appealing to those who work in Downtown Burlington or seek an urban lifestyle. The area's older homes can sometimes present challenges like Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) panels or adherence to strict historic preservation guidelines, which we are well-equipped to handle.
Primarily residential, the New North End (part of 05408) is known for its family-friendly environment and direct access to Lake Champlain beaches and parks.
