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.

What is different about selling a house in West Haven
West Haven is a compact shoreline city on New Haven Harbor and Long Island Sound, with dense older neighborhoods, condominiums and beach streets near Savin Rock. Homes are on city sewer, and low areas around Old Field Creek and the Cove River flood in storms, so a flood zone check is a normal part of selling here.

- Flooding around Old Field Creek and the Cove River
- Flood zone and sewer review on permits
- Anti-blight ordinance
- Coastal area town
West Haven's last revaluation took effect October 1, 2024, and the next is scheduled for October 1, 2029.

Facing foreclosure or a tax lien in West Haven?
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 West Haven 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)?
