Jerryll NoordenOwner, We Buy Houses In Connecticut
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.

Selling in Hartford
What is different about selling a house in Hartford
Hartford is the state capital, and most of its housing is in multi-family buildings: two- and three-family houses and apartment buildings, and about three-quarters of households rent. Many sales involve tenants in place, older buildings, and the city's rental licensing rules for buildings with three or more units.
- Rental License for 3+ unit buildings
- Phased deadlines and penalties
- Historic review before permits
- Many small multi-family homes
- Revaluation schedule
Hartford's Rental Licensing Program (Municipal Code Chapter 18, Article II) requires a separate Rental License for each building with three or more dwelling units, unless a three-unit building is owner-occupied. The license covers the whole building, includes housing and fire code inspections, and replaces the old Certificate of Apartment Occupancy.
City of Hartford, Apply for a Rental LicenseApplications were phased in by size, with three-unit buildings due by October 31, 2026. The city adds a $1,000 penalty to late applications, and operating without a required license can bring daily per-unit fines.
City of Hartford, Apply for a Rental LicenseIn Hartford, historic review and approval is required before a building or demolition permit is issued for a property in a local, state or national historic district or one that contains a historic landmark. The city's planning viewer has a historic-district layer for checking an address.
City of Hartford, Apply for Historic ReviewAbout 35% of Hartford's homes are in two- to four-unit buildings, and about 74% of occupied homes are rented. Selling with tenants in place is common here.
U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024 5-year (via Census Reporter)Under the state Office of Policy and Management schedule, Hartford's property revaluations fall in 2026, 2031 and 2036 (October 1 grand list years). That means this year's October 1, 2026 grand list carries new assessed values.

Facing foreclosure or a tax lien in Hartford?
Most Connecticut foreclosures are strict foreclosures. The case runs through the Superior Court, the judge sets a Law Day, and if the loan is not paid off by that day the house goes to the lender, with no auction and none of your equity coming back to you. Until that day you can still sell, pay the lender off at closing, and keep whatever is left.
If you live in the house and it has one to four units, you can ask the court for free foreclosure mediation. You file the mediation request (form JD-CV-108) together with your appearance, within 15 days of the return date on the papers you were served. Mediation can buy time; selling can end it on your terms. We can close in about two weeks, or on the date your attorney needs.
Behind on Hartford property taxes? Connecticut adds 1.5% interest a month (18% a year) to overdue taxes, and the town can put a lien on the house (Hartford has sold blocks of overdue tax liens to private collectors, who add their own fees and costs). When we buy, the back taxes, interest and any lien are paid from the sale at closing, so you do not need to find the money first.

Is a cash sale right for you, or should you list?
Seven quick questions. There is no wrong answer, and we will tell you honestly if listing would leave you more.
- Does the house need repairs you would rather not pay for or manage?
- Do you need to close by a certain date, or within the next month or two?
- Would showings be hard: tenants, belongings, privacy, or you live out of state?
- Is there a complication: an estate or probate, a divorce, foreclosure, liens or back taxes?
- Could you comfortably cover the mortgage, taxes and utilities for three or more months?
- Is getting the highest possible price more important to you than speed and certainty?
- Would a buyer's bank lend on the house as it is (no major roof, foundation, oil tank or code issues)?

No. We buy it as it stands. Take what you want and leave the rest.
What is a strict foreclosure in Connecticut?
Most Connecticut foreclosures are strict foreclosures: the Superior Court sets a Law Day, and if the loan is not paid off by then, the house goes to the lender with no auction and none of your equity comes back to you. You can sell any time before the Law Day, pay the lender off at closing and keep what is left.
Can I sell my Hartford house if I am behind on property taxes?
Yes. Overdue Connecticut property taxes grow by 1.5% a month (18% a year), and the town can put a lien on the house. The back taxes, interest and any lien are paid off from the sale at closing, so you do not need the money up front.

Yes. We buy two-, three- and four-family houses with the tenants in place. You do not have to empty the building, and the leases and deposits are handled at closing.

Can I sell my Hartford house as-is, without a realtor?
Yes. You can sell your Hartford house directly to a cash buyer, as-is, with no realtor, no listing, no showings and no commission. You still close through a Connecticut attorney, who handles the deed, the payoff and the conveyance tax.

Yes. We buy Hartford houses in any condition: needing major repairs, fire or water damage, mold, foundation problems, code violations, a full house of belongings, or tenants in place. You do not fix or clean anything.
Are crumbling foundations a problem in Hartford?
Rarely. Crumbling (pyrrhotite) concrete foundations are concentrated east of the Connecticut River and in northeastern Connecticut; the state fund (CFSIC) reports only 5 applications from the City of Hartford and nothing paid. If your house does have a foundation problem, we still buy it as-is.
