Hartford's Cash Home Buyers — Meet Our Team
Simply Sold RE is run by its co-founders, Frank Sanchez and Larry Friedman, with an office on Norwich Avenue in Taftville and most of our buying in and around Hartford. We purchase houses ourselves, as they are, cover the closing costs, and are upfront when a listing would serve you better than a sale to us.

Frank Sanchez & Larry Friedman — Hartford's Trusted Cash Home Buyer
Listing a house works when the place is in good shape and the owner has time to wait for a buyer's mortgage. Plenty of Connecticut owners have neither. Frank Sanchez and Larry Friedman started Simply Sold RE for them: the son handling his late mother's colonial from out of state, the owner whose foreclosure has a law day set, the landlord with a Hartford three-decker that needs a new boiler and a roof, the couple who want the sale finished in weeks rather than by next spring.
Those are the situations Frank and Larry focus on: strict foreclosures, divorce sales, estates moving through probate, houses packed with belongings or damaged by fire, rentals with difficult tenants, and older homes a lender will not touch. They handle each purchase personally, show the seller how the price was worked out, and leave the closing date to the seller.
There is no head office to check with and no national hotline. The person you speak to on the phone is one of the people who will price your house and see the sale through to closing. Walk through a sale with us step by step →
Our Core Values as Hartford Cash Home Buyers
Selling a house is usually the largest transaction a family makes. These are the rules we hold ourselves to when someone trusts us with theirs.
Honest & Transparent
You see how we arrived at the price. Nothing is tucked into the fine print, and the number does not change between the offer and the contract.
Fast & Reliable
When we agree to a closing date, we keep it. We pay with our own funds, so there is no loan approval or appraisal that can push the date back.
Seller-First Always
If a cash sale is the wrong fit, we will tell you on the first call and point you toward a listing agent, a loan modification or whatever makes more sense.
Rooted in Hartford
We are not passing through. We know Hartford's multifamily neighborhoods, which towns sit in the crumbling-foundation area and how local tax collectors work.
Any Condition, Any Situation
Mold in the basement, smoke damage, unpermitted work, tenants who stopped paying, a town tax lien. None of these stops us from making an offer, and none of them needs explaining.
Private & Confidential
What you tell us stays with us. The house never appears on the MLS or on a yard sign, and the neighbors do not need to know it is for sale.
What a Hartford Cash Buyer Knows That an Out-of-State iBuyer Doesn't
Pricing software can spit out a figure for any address. It cannot tell a solid three-family from one with a failing foundation, or a clean title from one with an estate still open in probate.
We know how Hartford's neighborhoods actually price out
A two-family in Parkville, a Victorian in the West End, a postwar ranch in Newington and a "perfect six" in the South End each sell to different buyers at different prices, and an iBuyer's model tends to blur them into one average. We start from actual sales close by, subtract the real cost of the work the house needs and explain the result. On older or rundown houses, Opendoor and Offerpad often will not make an offer at all.
We're in the local process week in and week out
Connecticut foreclosures go through Superior Court; for Hartford homes that usually means the Hartford Judicial District. Under strict foreclosure, title can pass to the lender on the law day the judge sets, without any auction. Estates are handled by regional probate courts such as the Hartford Probate District. Unpaid property taxes become liens that a town can enforce with a tax sale or a lien foreclosure, and each route has its own redemption deadline. We have bought houses caught up in all three, work alongside local closing and estate attorneys, and schedule closings around those deadlines and the executor's authority to sell.
We're accountable here
Our names are on this company and we keep working in the same towns, so a bad deal would follow us around. Call (860) 703-9997 and you get the people who set the price and handle the closing, not a script. If something goes wrong after the sale, you know exactly who to call, and that is hard to say about a national platform.
