The repairs Connecticut sellers bring us most
- Pyrrhotite foundations: crumbling concrete common in north-central and eastern Connecticut.
- Oil tanks: buried or aging tanks that insurers and lenders balk at.
- Septic systems: failed or undersized fields.
- End-of-life roofs, siding, and windows.
- Old wiring and plumbing: knob-and-tube, galvanized supply lines.
- Water in the basement and mold.
Why a cash buyer fits these houses
Many buyers’ lenders won’t finance a house with a failed septic or cracked foundation, which shrinks the pool of buyers to almost nobody. CT MAX pays cash, so the loan question never comes up, and the repair cost is built into one price.
Common questions
Can CT MAX help with house needs work in my town?
Yes, anywhere in Connecticut, from any of our nine offices.
Would I have to repair or clean anything?
No. The price already accounts for the condition.
