Who Buys Houses for Cash in Hartford, CT — and How Do You Know They’re Legit?

If you’ve searched “who buys houses for cash in Hartford,” you’ve probably seen bandit signs, mailers, and a dozen websites that all look the same. Some are real local buyers. Some are national lead-generation sites that just sell your information. And a few are wholesalers who tie up your house under contract and then try to flip that contract. Here’s how to tell them apart.

The three kinds of “cash buyers” you’ll run into

1. Local investors who buy with their own money. This is what you want. They buy the house directly, close with a local attorney or title company, and the person you talk to is the person writing the check. Sell 2 Us is this kind of buyer.

2. National lead sites. You fill out a form thinking you’re contacting a buyer, and your info gets sold to several investors who all start calling.

3. Wholesalers who don’t actually buy. They lock up your house at a low price, then look for someone else to assign the contract to. If they can’t, the deal can fall apart late.

Five questions that separate the real buyers from the rest

• “Are you buying the house yourself, or assigning the contract?”
• “Can you show proof of funds?”
• “What attorney or title company do you close with?”
• “Is there any fee or commission on my side?” (Should be no.)
• “Can I have a few days to think about it?” (Real buyers don’t pressure you.)
