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.

Putnam seller questions, answered
Can I sell my Putnam house as-is?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can start with the condition and repairs as they are now.
How quickly can I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Call or send the address and the property details you know.
What happens to closing costs and Connecticut conveyance taxes?
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Connecticut state and municipal real estate conveyance taxes. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Do I need every paper before I call?
No. You can call before you have everything figured out. Share the address and the question in front of you; title, payoff, and who can sign still need to be confirmed for the specific sale. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
Can I sell while a Connecticut foreclosure is underway?
Often, yes, if the loan is paid off before the court's deadline. Connecticut foreclosures go through court. In a strict foreclosure, the judge sets a law day; if the debt is not paid off by then, title usually passes to the lender. 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. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically. Have an attorney or title company confirm the actual deadline and whether the court has changed it.
Can I ask about selling an inherited Putnam house before all the papers are ready?
Yes. You can call before every estate document is gathered. The person signing and that person’s authority must be confirmed before closing; the deed and estate records can help identify what still needs review.
Start with a question
You can call before you have every document or decision settled. Start with the property address and what you know; we can talk through the question and what may need to be checked next.
