Money and choices
Compare what you keep, not just the sale price
The useful comparison is what may remain after the costs and obligations tied to your sale. Use the calculator to compare possible net proceeds, then compare the written numbers and terms for a Cash Offer and EZ Sale.
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.

Common questions about selling in Waterbury
How quickly can I get a written cash offer?
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can call with whatever you know about the house; you do not need every detail settled first.
Who pays Connecticut’s real estate conveyance taxes 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 agent commissions when you sell to us. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
Do I need to repair or clean out the house before selling?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Can I sell my house if a Connecticut foreclosure is underway?
Often, yes, if the loan is paid off before the court’s deadline. Connecticut uses strict foreclosure, where a judge sets a “law day”; if the debt is unpaid by then, title usually passes to the lender. If there is equity, the court may instead order a foreclosure by sale, with an auction run by a court-appointed committee and approved by the court. Owner-occupants of one- to four-family homes may qualify for the 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.
Do I see the written terms before I commit?
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
How soon can we close?
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
