Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not only the sale price
Start with the written numbers and subtract the costs and obligations that apply to your house. The Bridgeport calculator lets you compare possible listing and cash-sale net proceeds using editable assumptions.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
The Cash Offer is a direct sale to us. EZ Sale goes to one of our partners and includes partner visits. Compare the written numbers, then choose what works for you.
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.

Useful questions about selling in Bridgeport
How do I compare what I would keep from a cash sale or a listing?
Compare what remains after costs, not just the sale price. A listing comparison can include repairs, commissions, carrying costs, and other sale expenses; also account for your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes. There is no single percentage that tells you what a Bridgeport house will net.
Do I need to repair, clean, or clear out the house first?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
How soon can I get an offer, and when would the sale close?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
What Connecticut conveyance taxes and closing costs should I expect?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Connecticut state and municipal real estate conveyance taxes. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate. For other sales, Connecticut conveyance tax is due when the deed is recorded; the amount depends on the price and municipality, and the closing attorney can confirm it.
Can I sell if a Connecticut foreclosure case is underway?
Often, yes, if the loan is paid off before the court's deadline. In strict foreclosure, a judge sets a law day; if the debt is not paid by then, title usually passes to the lender. In foreclosure by sale, a court-appointed committee runs the auction and the court approves the sale. Owner-occupants of one- to four-family homes may qualify for Connecticut's Foreclosure Mediation Program, which can pause the case. 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. The current court deadline still controls unless the court changes it.
Can I ask about an inherited or tenant-occupied house before I have the paperwork?
Yes. Call with the question you have; you do not need to gather the paperwork first. We review title, payoff, occupancy, seller authority, and sale details with you so you can see what affects the written terms.
Can I ask about a house with code violations or damage?
Yes. A town notice or damage can be part of our property review. We put the offer and terms in writing before you commit.
