The short answer

Start with the house, then compare what you would keep

We look at the address, condition, occupancy, and timing that matter to you, then give you written terms to compare with the work, costs, and time involved in a listing.

Compare the choices

Listing, a direct sale, Cash Offer or EZ Sale

List with an agent or sell on your own

A listing or owner-managed sale puts the house in front of buyers looking for a home. Compare likely proceeds after preparation, repairs, cleanout, commissions, conveyance tax, carrying costs, and any concessions or inspection work. You also decide how to handle access, showings, and time on the market.

A direct as-is sale

We review title, payoff, occupancy, seller authority, and the home's condition. You get a written offer and clear written terms to review up front, before you commit, and we close through a title company. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

Two direct options with different trade-offs

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.

Cash Offer

USA Home Buyers buys directly. 30 days or less. Lower price. No repairs, no commissions, no closing costs. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.

EZ Sale

Goes to one of our partners. 60 days or less. Higher price than the Cash Offer. Still no repairs, no commissions, no closing costs. Yes, partner visits.

Connecticut closing questions

Connecticut costs, signing authority, occupancy, and court timing

Connecticut real estate conveyance tax

When a deed for a sale of $2,000 or more is recorded, Connecticut's state tax on a home is 0.75% of the price up to $800,000, 1.25% of the portion from $800,000 to $2.5 million, and 2.25% of any portion above $2.5 million. Each town also gets a 0.25% municipal tax; a small group of eligible towns may add up to another 0.25%. The seller owes the tax by law, and it is paid when the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt; the closing attorney confirms the amount for this sale.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Connecticut state and municipal real estate conveyance taxes. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.

Who signs and what happens with occupants?

The deed, trust, probate appointment, or court order can affect who may sign. We can coordinate with the title company to confirm what this sale requires; if authority is disputed, a Connecticut attorney can advise you. If tenants or other occupants live in the house, we can review the occupancy and possession terms with you. Existing leases and Connecticut tenant protections still apply.

Mortgage foreclosure and law days

Connecticut foreclosures go through court. In strict foreclosure there is no auction: the judge sets a “law day,” the deadline to pay the debt. If it is not paid by then, title usually passes to the lender. If the court orders foreclosure by sale, a court-appointed committee runs an auction and the court approves the sale. Before title passes, a judge may reopen the judgment and set a new law day for good cause. Owner-occupants of one- to four-family homes may qualify for the court's Foreclosure Mediation Program, which can pause the case.

An attorney or title company can confirm the current deadline and payoff. Our agreement of sale will often get a law day extended or a foreclosure sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't change the date automatically; the request goes to the court with our agreement attached, and it works more often than people think.

Where to find help

Questions Hartford sellers ask

Does USA Home Buyers buy houses as-is in Hartford, CT?

Yes. USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Hartford, Connecticut. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.

How should I compare a listing with a direct sale?

Put the written offer beside a realistic listing estimate after repair and cleanout costs, commissions, conveyance tax, carrying costs, and any concessions or inspection work. Also compare access, showings, financing steps, and the time you can carry the house. The larger first number is not always the amount you keep.

What Connecticut conveyance tax applies when a house sells?

Connecticut charges state real estate conveyance tax on a deed recorded for a sale of $2,000 or more. The home rate is 0.75% up to $800,000, 1.25% on the portion from $800,000 to $2.5 million, and 2.25% on any portion above $2.5 million. A municipal tax also applies, and the closing attorney confirms the amount and any exemption. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Connecticut state and municipal real estate conveyance taxes.

What does a foreclosure law day mean in Connecticut?

In strict foreclosure, a judge sets a law day for paying the debt; if it is not paid by then, title usually passes to the lender. A foreclosure by sale is a separate court-ordered auction process. Owner-occupants of one- to four-family homes may qualify for the court's Foreclosure Mediation Program, which can pause the case. Have an attorney or title company confirm the current deadline and payoff. Our agreement of sale will often get a law day extended or a foreclosure sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't change the date automatically; the request goes to the court with our agreement attached, and it works more often than people think.

Who needs to sign when I sell?

The deed names the owners, but a trust, probate appointment, or court order can affect who may sign. We can coordinate with the title company to confirm what this sale requires; if authority is disputed, a Connecticut attorney can advise you.

What if tenants or other occupants live in the house?

We can review the occupancy and possession terms with you as part of an offer. Existing leases and Connecticut tenant protections still matter; a Connecticut landlord-tenant attorney can advise you about a dispute or legal deadline.
