Share the address and what you know about condition, occupancy, access, and timing.
The short answer
Start with the house’s condition, access, occupancy, ownership, payoff, and the date that matters to you. A listing may fit if you can prepare the house and wait for a retail buyer; a direct as-is review gives you written terms to compare without starting repairs or cleanout first.
Compare the choices
A listing can reach retail buyers. Compare what you may keep after repairs, cleanout, showings, inspection responses, commissions, concessions, monthly bills, and the time needed to market and close—not only the asking price.
Start with the house as it sits. Compare written price and terms with the work, payoff, costs, obligations, and timing that apply to your property. You do not need to prepare the house for a public listing before asking us to review it.
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.

Before agreeing to a closing plan
You get the written offer and terms before you commit, and the sale closes through a title company. Ask which ownership, payoff, tax, occupancy, and court records it needs for this address. If the answer depends on estate authority, a court order, or a lease, have a Connecticut attorney review the specific records.
Start with the deed and any estate, probate, trust, or court papers. Ask the title company which owners or representatives must sign and what documents it needs. If ownership or authority is unclear or disputed, get Connecticut legal guidance before relying on a closing plan.
Bring the current lease, who occupies the house, access limits, and the possession plan you want considered. Put those facts beside the listing or direct-sale terms; ask an attorney about a legal question tied to the specific lease or notice.
Connecticut foreclosures go through court. In strict foreclosure, there is no auction: the judge sets a law day, the deadline to pay the debt before title usually passes to the lender. If the property has equity, the court may instead order a foreclosure by sale, run by a court-appointed committee and subject to court approval. 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. Have an attorney or title company check the actual court file, payoff, and deadline; do not assume a date has moved.

For a taxable sale of $2,000 or more, Connecticut conveyance tax is paid when the deed is recorded. For a home, the state tax is 0.75% of the price up to $800,000, 1.25% of the part from $800,000 to $2.5 million, and 2.25% of any part above $2.5 million. Every town also gets a 0.25% municipal conveyance tax; some eligible towns may add up to another 0.25%, for a local rate of up to 0.50%. Exemptions can apply, and the closing attorney confirms the amount and any local addition for the transaction.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Connecticut state and municipal real estate conveyance taxes. That does not pay your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes; those remain separate settlement items.

Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“Both retired, house too big, property taxes $5,200 a year. The house on Belmont Avenue had been good to us but it was time. Our financial advisor suggested we downsize and put the equity to work. USA Home Buyers were straightforward — offer, agreement, closing. Done in nine days. We moved to a condo in West Springfield.”
“My uncle left me a three-family on Oak Street — built in 1922, hadn't been updated since the 1970s. I'm in Florida and couldn't manage it from down here. USA Home Buyers sent a written offer the next day and we closed in 10 days. I didn't have to fly up, didn't have to clean a thing.”
“I got behind after losing my job at MassMutual. The mortgage servicer was already sending notices. USA Home Buyers explained the Massachusetts foreclosure process — it moves fast here — and we closed before it got to auction. I walked away with money I didn't know I could keep.”
