Compare listing with a direct sale
Listing puts your house on the open market and can involve preparing the property, buyer visits, offer negotiations, inspections, and selling costs. With a direct sale, you compare a written price and terms with the work, timing, and costs you would take on by listing. You decide which option fits.
When you sell to us, you get written terms before you commit and we close through a title company. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
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
Questions about selling in Norwich, CT
Can I sell my Norwich house as-is?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can compare the written terms with the work and costs of listing.
Who can sign when a Norwich house is part of an estate?
An executor or administrator appointed by the Connecticut Probate Court can sell the house while the estate is open. If the will does not give the executor power to sell real estate, the sale needs Probate Court approval. The fiduciary files the purchase contract and proof of fair market value, such as an appraisal or market analysis. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.
What closing costs do you pay when I sell to you?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Connecticut state and municipal real estate conveyance taxes. No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Can an agreement of sale move a Connecticut foreclosure date?
Connecticut foreclosures go through court. In strict foreclosure, the judge sets a law day; if the debt is not paid by then, title usually passes to the lender. When there is equity, the court may instead order a foreclosure by sale. Owner-occupants of one- to four-family homes may qualify for the court's Foreclosure Mediation Program, which can pause the case. Signing alone doesn't change the date automatically; the request goes to the court with our agreement attached. Keep following the court's current deadline unless the court changes it.
How soon can you close?
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
Connecticut real estate conveyance tax
On a home sale of $2,000 or more, Connecticut charges a real estate conveyance tax when the deed is recorded. The state rate is 0.75% up to $800,000, 1.25% on the part from $800,000 to $2.5 million, and 2.25% above $2.5 million. Each town charges a 0.25% municipal tax; eligible towns may add up to another 0.25%. 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. No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
