Help for Essex sellers dealing with

Essex seller questions

What will CT MAX pay for my Essex house?

That depends on its condition and recent Essex-area sales. The written MAX Offer shows both, so you can see how we got to the price.

Does CT MAX buy Essex houses that need major repairs?

Yes. Foundation, septic, roof, oil tank, fire damage: the price reflects it and you don’t fix anything.

What does it cost me to sell my Essex house to CT MAX?

No commission, and CT MAX covers the standard closing costs. Any mortgage or liens are paid from the proceeds.

I’m behind on payments or taxes on my Essex house. Can I still sell?

Usually, yes. The closing attorney pays the lender and the tax collector out of the sale.

Which CT MAX office handles Essex?

CT MAX New Haven. A buyer from that office will do the walk-through.
