    Boston Made originals. A different way in.

    ONE HOME. MORE TO EXPLORE.

    Real estate is one chapter of Boston Made.

    Short sales & foreclosures, explained.

    Explore residential and commercial real estate with the questions that matter up front. Start with the sale type, understand the process, and build your shortlist.

    Educational resources and planning tools. Live foreclosure and short-sale listings are not connected yet.

    UNDERSTAND THE TERMS

    What is a short sale?

    A real estate short sale involves selling a home for less than the mortgage balance, with the lender or servicer agreeing to the transaction. “Short” refers to the proceeds falling short of the debt.

    Questions to ask before proceeding
    • Has the lender approved the proposed sale?
    • What conditions and deadlines apply?
    • How will any unpaid mortgage balance be handled?
    • Who is reviewing the contract and closing documents?
    Read the CFPB short-sale guide ↗
    RESEARCH THE PROCESS

    Foreclosures

    Use a careful checklist when researching foreclosure opportunities. Confirm the property’s current status and the applicable sale process with the responsible professionals.

    Build your research checklist
    • Confirm the source and current sale status.
    • Ask about title, liens, and occupancy.
    • Confirm inspection access and property condition.
    • Review deposit, financing, and closing requirements.

    PLAN YOUR NEXT STEP

    Look beyond the asking price.

    Compare properties, record questions, and estimate financing costs in your private browser workspace. Bring your shortlist to an experienced local agent, lender, or attorney.

    For homeowners exploring a short sale

    Start by discussing available options with your mortgage servicer. A short sale requires approval and does not automatically erase the unpaid balance. Review the proposed terms with qualified legal and tax professionals.

    FORECLOSURE & SHORT-SALE PLANNING

    What could it cost in total?

    Build an estimated project budget from your own numbers. This adds acquisition and project expenses; it does not calculate cash due at closing, loan qualification, or investment returns.

    HOW THIS WORKS

    Clear from the start.

    Are these live MLS search results?

    Not yet. The directory links to independent property resources. On-site listing search will launch only after data access and display permissions are in place.

    Can I search without paying?

    The directory and planning tools are free. Paid business visibility is separate from the property discovery experience.

    Will my saved searches send email alerts?

    No. Saved searches and comparison entries are stored only in this browser. Cross-device accounts and automated listing alerts are not enabled.

    What happened to the original Boston Made website?

    Our companies, stories, software and membership pages remain available. Use the Explore Boston Made link to open the company website.

    How will sponsored content be shown?

    Paid placements will be labeled Sponsored or Advertisement. A paid placement is not a verification of a property, business or investment return.

    THERE’S MORE TO BOSTON MADE

    One home. A whole family of brands.

    Our companies, stories, software, memberships, and existing content are still here.
