Need to Sell Your Connecticut House Urgently?
When a deadline is already on the calendar, the slow part of a normal sale is the part you cannot afford. Here is how an urgent sale works with CT MAX, step by step.

Start with the address. A CT MAX buyer calls you back, and your written number follows the walk-through.
What makes a sale “urgent”
Most urgent sales in Connecticut come from one of a handful of deadlines: a foreclosure law day, a probate court date, a job that starts in another state, a tax collector notice, or a house that has become unsafe to leave empty. Each one has a date attached, and a listing cannot promise to beat it.
Where the time goes in a normal sale
- Repairs and cleaning before photos
- Weeks of showings and open houses
- A buyer mortgage approval that can fall through
- An appraisal that can come in low
- Inspection repair requests after you accept
A cash sale to CT MAX removes the last four entirely. There is no lender, no appraisal and no repair list.
How an urgent sale with CT MAX runs
- Call or text the address to (860) 200-7472.
- One walk-through, scheduled around you.
- A written MAX Offer. Once signed, we do not lower it.
- Attorney closing on the date you choose, once title is clear.
The real limit on speed is title work: liens, probate authority or a missing signature. We tell you up front if anything in the title will set the date.

| Listing with an agent | CT MAX cash sale | |

| Repairs and cleanout | Usually on you, plus whatever the buyer’s inspector finds | None, the house is bought as it stands |

| 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 |

Common questions
How fast can CT MAX close?
It depends on title. When the title is clean, the closing date is yours to choose. When there are liens, an estate or a foreclosure, the attorney needs time to clear them, and we tell you what that timeline looks like before you sign.
Can you move the date if my plans change?
Yes. If you need more time to move out, tell us before closing and we will work the date with you.
Do I have to fix anything first?
No. We buy the house in the condition it is in today.
