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.
- 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

What is different about selling a house in New Canaan
New Canaan is a largely residential town. Town sewers are limited to a fairly small network, so many homes outside the center rely on septic systems and private wells, and any addition or remodel there starts with the Health Department.
- Revaluation schedule
- Limited sewer network
- Septic plan before remodeling
- Septic and well records
New Canaan's last revaluation took effect October 1, 2023, and the next is scheduled for October 1, 2028.

Facing foreclosure or a tax lien in New Canaan?
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 New Canaan 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. 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)?
