Request a cash offerThe short answer
Your choice depends on the house’s condition, occupancy, access, ownership, payoff, tax costs, and the timing that matters to you. We compare written direct-sale terms with a realistic listing plan so you can see what you might keep. A house ready to show may suit a listing; a house with repairs or a difficult deadline can be compared as-is without taking on that work first.
Selling choices
A listing may fit if the house is ready to show and you have time for preparation and buyer visits. Compare likely repairs, cleaning, showings, commissions, possible buyer requests, taxes, insurance, utilities, mortgage payments, and the time you would carry the property before closing.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Read the written price and terms, then compare what you would keep with the work, costs, and time involved in a listing.
Listing, Cash Offer, and EZ Sale involve different work and timing. Compare the written numbers and what you would keep before choosing.
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.

Closing questions
Often, yes, once the probate court authorizes the estate sale. The executor or administrator needs a court license to sell the estate’s real property. A power to sell in the will can let the court issue that license without the usual notice and hearing, but it does not remove the license requirement. There is an exception to that shortcut when the house is occupied by a surviving spouse or a beneficiary listed in the statute. The closing attorney will confirm the license and who must sign. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.

The rate depends on how the buyer will use the property. The general property transfer tax is 1.25%, plus a 0.22% Clean Water Surcharge, for a total of 1.47%. A house fit for year-round living that is neither the buyer’s principal residence nor a qualifying long-term rental has a higher total rate of 3.62%. Principal residences and exempt transfers have different treatment. The closing attorney will apply the right category.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Vermont's property transfer tax and Clean Water Surcharge. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.

Can you still sell your Vermont house in foreclosure? Often, yes, while you still own it and can close before the court's deadline. If the house has little or no equity, the court can order a strict foreclosure, which ends ownership when the redemption period runs out, with no auction. Otherwise the court orders a sale (12 V.S.A. §§4941(c), 4945). Your court order tells you which path and deadline apply; do not wait for an auction notice if the order is for strict foreclosure. A request to postpone a sale does not extend a strict-foreclosure redemption deadline.

If the property is rented, Brattleboro’s program includes an annual registry for apartment buildings or leased residential dwelling units and a separate rental-inspection booking route. See the Town’s rental housing registration information and the Brattleboro tenant-occupied property guide for the sale questions that come with an occupied house.
