“Will Someone Just Buy My House?” Yes, in Connecticut
If you are searching for someone to buy your house as it stands, here is exactly what CT MAX buys, what it does not, and how the price is set.
See Your MAX Offer
Start with the address. A CT MAX buyer calls you back, and your written number follows the walk-through.
What CT MAX buys
- Single-family houses, condos and 2–4 family homes
- Houses that need a little work or a total rebuild
- Inherited and estate houses, with or without belongings
- Rentals with tenants in place
- Vacant land and building lots
All 169 Connecticut towns are covered from our Hartford office.
How the price is set
The MAX Offer starts from what similar houses nearby have sold for after repairs. We subtract the repair budget, the costs of holding and reselling the house, and our margin. We show you that math on paper, so you can check each number yourself. See how we set a MAX Offer.
When a listing is the better choice
If your house is updated, you have time, and a buyer mortgage will not be a problem, listing with a good agent will usually get you a higher price. We say so when that is the case. A cash offer makes sense when the condition, timing or situation makes listing hard.
Comparing the numbers
Listing vs. a MAX Offer, side by side
| Listing with an agent | CT MAX cash sale | |
|---|---|---|
| Commission | Typically 5–6% of the price | None |
| Repairs and cleanout | Usually on you, plus whatever the buyer’s inspector finds | None, the house is bought as it stands |
| Showings | Open houses and private showings | One walk-through |
| Financing risk | Buyer’s mortgage and appraisal can fall through | Cash, no lender |
| Closing date | Set by the buyer’s lender | The date you pick |
| Price | Often higher for a house in good shape | Reflects the condition, in writing, and does not drop after you sign |
