Selling to Real Estate Investors in Connecticut: What to Expect
“Real estate investors near me” covers everyone from flippers to landlords to contract wholesalers. Here is how each one works and what it means for your price.
See Your MAX Offer
Start with the address. A CT MAX buyer calls you back, and your written number follows the walk-through.
The three kinds of investor buyers
- Flippers buy, renovate and resell. They price off the after-repair value minus rehab and costs.
- Landlords buy to rent. They price off rents, taxes and upkeep.
- Wholesalers sign a contract and sell it to another investor. Their offer has to leave room for that end buyer.
Why investor offers are below retail
An investor pays cash, takes the house as-is, carries the holding costs and takes the resale risk. That costs money, and it comes out of the price. The trade-off is speed and certainty for you. See how cash offers are calculated.
Questions to ask any investor
- Are you the one buying, or will you assign the contract?
- How big is the deposit, and who holds it?
- Can the price change after signing? When, and why?
- Who pays closing costs?
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 |
Common questions
Is CT MAX a wholesaler?
CT MAX makes a written offer and does not lower it after signing. Ask us who is on title at closing, and we will tell you plainly.
Can I get offers from several investors?
Yes, and you should. Compare the net number in writing, not just the headline price.
