How to Sell Your Connecticut House As-Is
“As-is” means no repairs from you. Here is what that really covers in Connecticut, what you still have to disclose, and how CT MAX handles it.
See Your MAX Offer
Start with the address. A CT MAX buyer calls you back, and your written number follows the walk-through.
As-is does not mean “no disclosure”
Selling as-is means you will not make repairs. It does not erase Connecticut’s residential property condition disclosure requirement, or the federal lead paint disclosure for pre-1978 homes. Tell the buyer what you know. A good as-is buyer prices it in and moves on.
What CT MAX takes as-is
- Roofs, foundations, septic, wiring and heating problems
- Water, fire and storm damage
- Houses full of belongings
- Open permits and code orders
See our house problems guides for specifics.
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
Can a regular buyer ask for repairs after an as-is listing?
They can ask, and their lender may require some. A cash buyer removes that.
Do I need to clean?
No. Take what you want and leave the rest.
Will the inspection change your offer?
No. We walk through once and put the number in writing.
