Sell an Investment Property in Connecticut Without Listing It
Tired landlords, out-of-state owners and partners who want out: here is how to sell a Connecticut rental or investment house for cash, as-is.
See Your MAX Offer
Start with the address. A CT MAX buyer calls you back, and your written number follows the walk-through.
Who this is for
- Landlords done with tenant calls and repairs
- Owners who live out of state
- Partners or co-owners splitting up
- Owners of a vacant rental that has sat too long
Taxes to plan for
An investment property sale can trigger capital gains tax and depreciation recapture. A 1031 exchange may defer them. Out-of-state sellers may also face Connecticut income tax withholding at closing. Talk to your CPA before you sign. We are not tax advisors.
Closing costs you avoid
With no listing, there is no commission. CT MAX covers the standard closing costs written into the offer. The Connecticut real estate conveyance tax is normally the seller’s cost, and your attorney will confirm how it applies.
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 I close without traveling to Connecticut?
Usually, yes. Out-of-state sellers can often sign closing documents remotely or by mail with a notary. The attorney will confirm what works.
Do you need the property vacant?
No. We buy with tenants in place.
