We Buy Houses in Farmington, CT Fast for Cash

Sell Your Farmington House Without Listing It

Farmington houses usually sell. What our callers want to avoid is the route there: months of showings, an inspector's list and a buyer's lender deciding how it ends. Simply Sold RE buys Farmington homes directly, for cash and as they are, so you can skip all of that.

Farmington is really several places under one town name. Farmington village, along Main Street (Route 10) near the river, has some of the oldest houses in Hartford County, a few of them older than the country. Unionville, to the northwest on Route 4 and Route 177, grew up around mills on the Farmington River and has its own post office and ZIP code, 06085. In between and up on the hills sit postwar Capes and ranches, 1970s and 1980s colonials on wooded lots, and a good number of condominium communities. UConn Health's campus on Farmington Avenue and the offices around Westfarms keep a steady stream of buyers looking here.

Because the town is so varied, the reasons people sell to us vary too. A colonial-era house in the village brings costly old-house repairs. A 1960s ranch may still have its first electrical panel and an oil tank in the yard. A condo can come with a special assessment the owner would rather not face. We take each of them as they are.

When a Cash Sale Makes Sense in Farmington

• The house was a parent's. Estates in Farmington, Burlington and Plainville go through the Farmington Regional Probate Court on Monteith Drive. We can sign once the executor or administrator has authority, and close when the court's paperwork allows, with the furniture still inside if that is easier. More in our inherited house guide.
• The work is bigger than the payoff. A roof, windows, a sewer lateral, a kitchen nobody has touched since the 1980s. Bringing a house up to what Farmington buyers expect costs real money and months of your time. We price the work in and you skip it. See selling as-is in Connecticut.
• You are moving somewhere smaller. Plenty of Farmington owners have lived in the same house for decades. If you have a firm date at a new apartment or a retirement community, we close on that date. Our downsizing page explains how.
• A divorce or separation. One buyer, one number, one closing, and the proceeds split the way your agreement says.
• A job move. Medical residents, hospital staff and corporate transfers often have weeks, not months. We can close after you have already left, with you signing remotely.

What Farmington Houses Tend to Need

Farmington homes are generally well kept, but age catches up with every house. The items that come up when we walk through a Farmington property are fairly predictable: an underground or basement oil tank from before gas reached the street, lead paint under newer coats in anything built before 1978, an original panel or wiring an insurer will not write, a roof at the end of its life, or a damp basement in the low ground near the river. None of those stops us. We note them, price them, and buy anyway.

If your house is updated and you have time, a good Farmington listing agent will probably get you a higher price than we can, and we will tell you so on the phone. Where we are useful is the house that needs work, the seller who needs a date, or the family that simply wants it finished.
