WiseBuys Home Purchase Assistance Program

If you are buying your first home, WiseBuys can guide you through the maze of decisions involved in your purchase. Specifically, we provide in-depth services during the actual purchase process. We collaborate with pre-purchase and post-purchase counseling programs.

WiseBuys offers counseling, legal services and technical assistance. We offer financial assistance to cover housing inspections and legal services. We also offer special services to assist you with a property that requires rehabilitation.

Other services include:

Providing you with information about market values
Obtaining legal assistance when you make an offer, sign the purchase and sale agreement and attend the closing
Helping you negotiate a final purchase price
Helping you select an affordable mortgage

WiseBuys also works in partnership with the City of Boston to promote homeownership, reach out to people who may not see themselves as potential homebuyers (such as female heads of household or new immigrants) and provide eligibility information for certain programs that offer financial assistance.
