Who We Are
Meet the Elia Brothers — Haverhill’s “Property Brothers”
New England Home Buyers was built on something simple: treat every homeowner the way we’d want our own family treated. We’re Shad and Steven Elia — brothers who were born and raised right here in Haverhill, Massachusetts.
Our journey started in 2010, buying multifamily properties in the neighborhoods we grew up in. By 2015, we were purchasing homes at foreclosure auctions. In 2018, we went full-time. And in 2020, we shifted our focus entirely to working directly with homeowners — because we realized that’s where we could make the biggest difference.
Steven is a licensed real estate broker with Elia Realty Group, so he knows the market inside and out. Shad is a licensed contractor and our President, with a passion for renovating homes and giving them new life for new families. Together, that combination means we can evaluate your home from every angle — and give you the most accurate, honest assessment of your options.
We’re not a faceless corporation. We’re not a call center in another state. We’re two brothers who live and work in this community, with a team of local people who genuinely care about getting it right for you.

What We Do
We’re not just home buyers. We’re a full-service real estate solutions company — with the tools, licenses, and team to help you no matter what your situation looks like.
Direct Cash Buying
We purchase homes directly with our own funds — no banks, no financing contingencies, no risk of the deal falling through. Close in as few as 7 days, or on whatever timeline works for you. As-is condition, zero fees, zero commissions.
Real Estate Brokerage
Steven Elia is a licensed real estate broker. If listing your home on the open market is the better path for you, we can handle that too — with the same level of care and transparency. We’ll always tell you if listing will net you more money.
Renovation & Contractor Referrals
As a licensed contractor, Shad and our team can assess exactly what your home needs — and connect you with trusted professionals if you decide to make improvements yourself. No guesswork, no inflated estimates.
Full-Service Support
Need an attorney referral? Help with a clean-out? Not sure where to start? We coordinate everything. Our goal is to take the stress off your plate completely — whether you sell to us or not.
Our Simple 3-Step Process
No runaround, no hidden steps. Here’s exactly how it works from first call to cash in hand.
Give Us A Call
Call us at (978) 228-1068 or fill out the form on our website. A real member of our team — not a call center — will answer your questions and learn about your situation. No scripts, no pressure. Just a real conversation about what's going on and how we might be able to help.
We Review Your Property
We'll schedule a quick visit at a time that works for you. One of our team members will do a friendly walkthrough — not a formal inspection — to understand your property's condition and put together the most accurate offer possible. We'll answer all your questions in person and walk you through every option available to you.
Close on Your Schedule & Get Paid
If our offer works for you, you pick the closing date. We handle all the paperwork, coordinate with the title company, and keep you updated every step of the way. Show up, sign, and receive your payment — it's that simple. We've closed in as few as 7 days, and we offer a 30-day post-close leaseback if you need extra time to move.
The offer we make is the offer you get. Period.
We don't renegotiate. We don't nickel-and-dime you after the walkthrough. We don't change terms at the last minute. The number we shake hands on is the number on your check.

Meet the Team
These are the real people you’ll work with — from your first call to the day you close. No call centers, no runaround.
When you call us, you get us – not a call center, not an answering service.
Real people who live and work in your community.
Our Core Values
These aren’t words on a wall. They’re the principles that guide every conversation, every offer, and every decision we make.
Honesty
We show you the math behind every offer. We’ll tell you if listing your home will net you more money — even if that means we don’t get the deal. Transparent pricing, no hidden fees, no surprises. What we say is what we do.
Reliability
When we make a commitment, we keep it. We close on time, every time. We return every call. We follow through on every promise. After 100+ deals, our track record speaks for itself.
Positivity
Selling a home, especially under difficult circumstances, can be stressful. We bring a positive, solutions-focused energy to every interaction. Our job is to lighten your load, not add to it.
Trust
Trust is earned, not assumed. That’s why we have 70+ five-star Google reviews, an A+ BBB rating, and a reputation as the most reputable home buying company in New England. We earn your trust through actions, not words.
“We’re in the business of solving problems, not buying houses. If selling to us isn’t the right move for you, we’ll be the first ones to tell you.”
— Shad & Steven Elia, Founders
What This Looks Like In Practice
- NIf listing your home will net you more money, we'll tell you — and Steven can list it through Elia Realty Group
- NIf you just need a contractor, not a buyer, we'll connect you with a trusted professional
- NIf you need an attorney, we'll refer you to one we trust — no strings attached
- NIf you need help with a clean-out before you sell, we'll coordinate that too
- NIf you need time to think, we'll never pressure you — take a day, a week, or a month

Why Choose New England Home Buyers?
There are a lot of companies that say they buy houses. Here’s what makes us genuinely different.
The Brothers Combination
Steven is a licensed real estate broker. Shad is a licensed contractor. Together, they can evaluate your home from every angle — market value, renovation costs, listing potential, and cash offer. Most companies can only give you one perspective. We give you all of them.
Truly Full-Service
We can buy your home for cash, list it through Elia Realty Group for top dollar, connect you with contractors, refer you to an attorney, or help with a property clean-out. Whatever your situation calls for, we have the solution — all under one roof.
We'll Tell You If Listing Is Better
Most home buyers will never suggest you list your property — because that means they don't get the deal. We're different. If listing your home will put more money in your pocket, we'll tell you that directly. And we can handle the listing ourselves through our brokerage.
Zero Pressure, Total Transparency
We don't use high-pressure tactics. We don't have "offers that expire today." We show you the math behind every number, give you time to think, and encourage you to consult with family and professionals before making a decision.
30-Day Post-Close Leaseback
Need a little extra time after closing? No problem. We offer a 30-day leaseback so you can get paid and still have time to move at your own pace. Most buyers won't do this. We think it's just common sense.
Local, Not Corporate
We were born and raised in Haverhill. We live here, work here, and raise our families here. This isn't just a business — it's our community. That's why we've earned the reputation as the most reputable home buying company in New England.
Ready to Get Started?
Whether you’re ready to get an offer or just want to talk through your options, we’re here. No pressure, no obligation — just an honest conversation about what makes sense for you.
