We Buy Houses In Connecticut
Inherited a house? Selling it for cash takes just 3 steps, and we work around the estate and the Probate Court.
If you have inherited a Connecticut house or you are settling an estate, you do not have to empty it, fix it or wait for probate to wrap up before you plan a sale. We buy inherited houses as they sit, contents and all.
We Buy Houses In Connecticut, LLC buys houses directly from families and estates for cash, in any condition. We work with the executor and the estate attorney, time the closing to the Probate Court's schedule, and close when the family is ready. Anything you do not want to keep can stay in the house.
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 listing with an agent would get the estate more money, we will tell you. Want the details first? See how our house buying process works.
Jerryll NoordenOwner, We Buy Houses In Connecticut
Selling an inherited house in Connecticut, step by step
- 1
Open the estate in Probate Court
The estate is handled by the Probate Court for the district where your loved one lived. The court appoints an executor (with a will) or an administrator (without one).
- 2
Who can sign
Until the court appoints a fiduciary, nobody can sell the house. Once appointed, the executor or administrator signs for the estate.
- 3
Permission to sell
If the will gives the executor the power to sell, no extra court order is usually needed. Otherwise the fiduciary asks the court for permission to sell the real estate.
- 4
The estate tax lien release
In Connecticut, an estate’s real estate carries a tax lien until the Probate Court releases it. The closing attorney makes sure that release is in place.
- 5
Closing
A Connecticut closing attorney handles the deed, pays any mortgage or liens from the sale, and the rest goes to the estate.
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

Your honest options
Selling to us is one option, not the only one. Here is how they compare.
Keep it or rent it out
Good when: Best if the family wants the house and can carry the taxes, insurance and upkeep.
Watch out: Someone has to manage it, and costs keep running while it sits.
List it with an agent
Good when: Best if the house is updated and the family has time to clean it out.
Watch out: Cleanout, repairs, showings, and every heir agreeing on each step.
Sell it as-is to us
Good when: Best if the house needs work, is full of belongings or the heirs live far away. One written offer for everyone.
Watch out: Less than a fully renovated listing would 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.

Taxes, briefly
Inherited houses usually get a "stepped-up" tax basis: the value on the date of death. If the house sells close to that value, there is often little or no capital gain. The seller normally pays the Connecticut conveyance tax at closing. Your estate attorney or tax advisor can confirm what applies to your family.
