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.

Who pays Connecticut real estate conveyance taxes when I sell to you?
Connecticut real estate conveyance tax is due when a deed is recorded for a sale price of $2,000 or more. For a home, the state rate is 0.75% on the first $800,000, 1.25% on the part from $800,000 to $2.5 million, and 2.25% on any part above $2.5 million. Every town also gets a 0.25% municipal conveyance tax; a limited group of eligible towns may add up to another 0.25%. The closing attorney can confirm the amount and any exemption for the sale. 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 remain separate.

Can a sale agreement change my Connecticut foreclosure date?
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. Connecticut foreclosures go through court. In a strict foreclosure, there is no auction; the judge sets a law day, the deadline to pay before title usually passes to the lender. If there is equity, the court may instead order a foreclosure by sale, an auction run by a court-appointed committee and approved by the court. 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. Don't assume a date has moved; have an attorney or title company confirm the deadline and payoff.
Do I need every paper ready before I call?
No. You can call with the property address and what you know about its condition and timing; you do not need to have every document gathered first. If an estate, court date, tax balance, or title question is involved, share the notice or paperwork you have so the right details can be checked before a closing plan is made.
Can I start a conversation about an inherited Torrington house before the estate papers are complete?
Yes. You can ask about the house before every estate paper is gathered. The person signing and that person’s authority must be clear before closing, so have the estate documents and deed reviewed for the specific property.
