Meet the host
Hi, I’m Jerryll. I probably watched one too many episodes of HGTV.
So in 2016 I started buying Connecticut houses, fixing them up and filming every step: the good, the bad and the “oh no.” Different house, same chaos. Grab a seat and watch the Windsor flip, start to finish.
Real houses. Real numbers. Real life.
- Windsor, CT
- 3 bed, 1 bath → 4 bed, 2 bath
- 1,037 sq ft

Before the houses
Robotic technology,for the sake of humanity.
At IHMC, the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition, I worked on exoskeletons: wearable robots that let people with paraplegia stand up and walk again. That work included Mina, the IHMC Mobility Assist Exoskeleton and NASA’s X1, and took our team to the Cybathlon in Zurich.
Later I worked on WALK‑MAN, a full-size humanoid robot built for disaster response and the DARPA Robotics Challenge. The research is published in IEEE conference proceedings, the Journal of Robotics and the Journal of Field Robotics, and it is behind three U.S. patent applications.
- 5Peer-reviewed publications
- 3U.S. patent applications

The tech behind this site
This entire site, including every single tool, was built by 
My other company.
Every page you are reading, the form that asks about your situation first, the offer from your photos, the honest self-checks and the guides: all of it runs on Apex Vivus, the platform I built for house buyers across the country.
It is the same thing I teach investors on stage, built into software: zero pressure and 100% value. Show homeowners every option, show them the math, and let them decide in their own time. When another investor runs their business on Apex Vivus, the homeowners in their town get treated the way you are being treated here.
On stage
The guy other house buyers learn from.
When other investors want to know how to find sellers, price repairs and run a house buying business, a lot of them learn it from Jerryll, and he teaches them to do it ethically: a fair offer with the math shown, the truth about every option, and never taking advantage of someone in a hard spot. He teaches rooms full of investors, founded SEO For Real Estate Investors to help buyers across the country get found online, and built REILink, where investors learn wholesaling and flipping for free.
What that means for you: you are dealing with the person who teaches other buyers how to treat homeowners right, not someone figuring it out on your house.

We Buy Houses In Connecticut
An engineer’s way of buying a house
We Buy Houses In Connecticut, LLC is Jerryll’s company. We buy houses directly from Connecticut homeowners, in any condition, and we renovate them ourselves. That is why the offer comes with the numbers behind it.
The math, shown
Every offer shows the after-repair value, the repairs, our costs and our margin. You can check every line.
Priced by the people who do the work
We renovate the houses we buy, so repairs are priced the way our own crews will actually do them, not padded for safety.
Technology that saves you time
Send photos and get an itemized offer range, follow your home’s value with a free Home Forecast, or book a walkthrough online.
Local and accountable
A registered Connecticut company since 2019, buying here since 2016. Every closing is handled by a Connecticut closing attorney.
Our story
No one accepts an offer that doesn’t work for them
So we go all out to make our highest possible offer. We do our due diligence on every house, and we keep our renovation costs as low as possible, because every dollar we save on the rehab is a dollar we can offer you.
We run two businesses that feed each other. One buys and renovates Connecticut houses. The other, the marketing and SEO company Jerryll founded, makes sure homeowners who need to sell can actually find a fair, local cash buyer.
Scams and credibility
Any buyer should be able to show, beyond a doubt, that they are reliable, credible and competent. We decided the best way is to be ourselves: natural, a little funny, kind and honest.
Years ago we promised to document a purchase from the first call to the closing, the contractor, the rehab and the sale, so you could see exactly how it works. That promise became the show.

If you’ve reached this far, I’m willing to bet I know what you’re thinking. Does this guy own more than one T‑shirt?
I’d rather spend my money on houses than on shirts.
My promise to you
We promise to be fair, never take advantage of others, and do whatever it takes to reach a deal that works for us both.
Someone going through a hard time needs a person who can help, not someone who will take advantage of the situation. We, like you, like to be treated with respect, honor, integrity and understanding, and that is exactly how you will be treated.
“We’re not the suit-and-tie type. What you see is what you’ll get: hardworking, honest, fair and reliable.”
