We Buy Houses In Connecticut
Behind on property taxes? Selling your house for cash takes just 3 steps, and the lien is paid at closing.
If unpaid Connecticut property taxes have turned into a lien that grows every month, you do not need to find the money to pay it before you sell. The sale pays the lien, and you keep the rest of your equity.
We Buy Houses In Connecticut, LLC buys houses directly from homeowners for cash, in any condition. The closing attorney gets the exact payoff from the tax collector and pays it from the sale, and you choose the closing date.
Because we buy the house ourselves, there are no agents, no commissions, no showings and no repairs. You do not even have to clean. We walk through the house with you, show you exactly how we calculated our number, and give you a written, no-obligation cash offer. If you accept, a Connecticut closing attorney handles the paperwork and you choose the closing date: as fast as about two weeks, or later if you need time to move.
And if a payment plan or a listing would serve you better, we will tell you. Want the details first? See how our house buying process works.

How a property tax lien works in Connecticut
- 1
Taxes go delinquent
Interest starts at 1.5% a month from the due date, and the town records a lien on the land records.
- 2
Lien sold or enforced
Some towns sell their liens to private servicers; others enforce them themselves. Collection and legal fees can be added.
- 3
Tax sale or lien foreclosure
If the debt stays unpaid, the town or lien holder can hold a tax sale or foreclose, and you can lose the house and its equity.
- 4
Sell before that happens
The sale pays the full lien, interest and fees, and you keep the rest.
- 5
Closing
A Connecticut closing attorney gets the exact payoff from the tax collector and pays it from the sale.
Meet your local buyer
Hi, I’m Jerryll.
Nice to meet you.
Together with my crew, I have been buying and bringing houses back to life all over Connecticut since 2016, helping homeowners in distress or in need, one house at a time.
Before real estate, I was a NASA robotics scientist, building exoskeletons that helped people with paralysis stand up and walk again. That work taught me what I still live by: behind every hard problem is a person who needs it solved, not a sales pitch.
When a house becomes too much, a foreclosure notice, a parent’s house full of memories, repairs you can’t afford, you deserve someone who shows up, tells you the truth, and does exactly what he says. That’s my promise to you.
- You deal with me, start to finish
- A written offer with the math behind it
- Straight answers, even when it is not us
- 90+ houses bought In and around Connecticut
- 10+ years in business Buying houses since 2016
- ~2 weeks typical time to close
What Connecticut Homeowners Say About Selling To Us
Real Sellers From Waterbury To Windsor
They were willing and able to answer my questions & concerns every step of the process. They were sensitive to my many concerns when it came to parting with my family home and showed me the finished product which I could never achieve on my own.
Rosemary Grady
My aunt needed money for medical expenses and the house was an absolute wreck! They came along, and the house was sold. Got the money I needed. Every time I think about it I want to hug you!
Cindy
Jerryll is a trustworthy and hard working person. He will treat you fairly. Everything I’ve seen of his work shows they care about what they do and the people they work with. You won’t be disappointed.
Rebekah Ouimette
They were great! – Why? – Because the deal was smooth, fair, and went through with complete “consideration” of my needs as the seller of the property. I have already recommended to other interested property owners in the area to give them a call.
Daniel Gray
Jerryll was great to work with. Honest, helpful, and always looking for creative ways to create win-wins. I wish everyone I dealt with was as upfront as Jerryll.
Jon Godes
Jerryll and his team have been nothing but exceptional. We needed to sell our home fast, and they simply bought it, no issues. Glad I found you!

Listing takes months.
Selling to us takes about 2 weeks.
A typical listing means getting the house ready, weeks of showings while it sits on the market, then waiting on the buyer’s loan to close. Selling for cash skips all of it.
About 4 months, start to closing
- Getting it ready30 days
- On the market55 days
- Buyer’s loan to closing35 days
* A listing usually brings a higher sales price. However, commissions, repairs, closing costs and months of payments all come out of it.
Close on the date you choose
- No showings or open houses
- No repairs or cleaning
- No waiting on a buyer’s loan
* A cash offer is usually below full retail price. However, nothing comes out of your pocket: no commissions, no repairs, no waiting and no uncertainty.
Dial marks are months

Before you decide
The Honest Pros And Cons Of A Cash Offer
A cash offer is not the right move for every Connecticut homeowner. It trades part of the top-dollar price for speed, certainty and a sale with no repairs, no showings and no commissions. Here is exactly what you gain and what you give up, so you can decide with the full picture. If listing your house would leave you with more money, we will tell you.
+What you gain
- Close in about two weeks, or on your date
No waiting for a buyer, a loan approval or an appraisal. You pick the day; we work to it.
- Sell as-is: no repairs, no cleaning
Leave the leaky roof, the old kitchen and whatever you do not want to move. We price the repairs in, so you never pay for them.
- No commissions, and we pay the normal closing costs
On a $350,000 house a typical 5-6% commission is $17,500 to $21,000 you keep in your pocket instead.
- No loan that can fall through
We pay cash, so there is no mortgage denial or low appraisal to kill the deal in week five.
- No showings, no open houses
Nobody walks through your home on weekends, and you keep your privacy until the day you close.
−What you give up
- The price is below full market value
You trade part of the top-dollar price for speed, certainty and no repairs. We show you the math behind the number.
- If you have time and an updated house, listing usually nets more
With months to spare and a house that shows well, the open market often pays more, even after commission. We will tell you if that is you.
- You have to check the buyer
Not every cash buyer is real. Ask for proof of funds, a Connecticut attorney closing and reviews you can verify.
A cash offer usually fits if…
the house needs work, you face a deadline like a Law Day, probate or a move, you inherited it, there are tenants, or you simply want it done without months of showings.
Listing usually fits if…
the house is updated and shows well, you have three months or more, and you are comfortable with showings, inspections and a buyer's loan approval.
Your honest options
Selling to us is one option, not the only one. Here is how they compare.
Pay or set up a payment plan
Good when: Best if you can catch up. Ask the tax collector; some towns offer plans and some residents qualify for relief programs.
Watch out: Interest keeps running until the balance is paid.
List it with an agent
Good when: Best if you have time before any tax sale date and the house shows well.
Watch out: The lien keeps growing while the house is on the market.
Sell it as-is to us
Good when: Best if a tax sale or foreclosure is near, or the house needs work.
Watch out: Less than a fully prepared listing could bring.
Selling To Us vs. Listing With An Agent
Selling your house for cash in Connecticut trades a top-dollar price for speed, certainty and simplicity. When you sell to a local cash home buyer like We Buy Houses In Connecticut, there are no agent commissions, no repairs, no cleaning and no showings, we pay the closing costs, and there is no buyer’s mortgage that can fall through at the last minute. You get a written cash offer with the math behind it, sell the house as-is, and choose your closing date: in about two weeks, or later if you need time to move. If your house needs work, you face a deadline like a Law Day or probate, or you simply want it done, a cash sale is often the smarter move. And if listing would net you more, we will tell you.
