1. How is using Next Door Properties different from selling my house with the help of a real estate agent?
In the traditional real estate model, a professional manages the sale of your home, using tools like the MLS to attract buyers. This often involves multiple viewings over weeks or months until the right buyer is found. After the sale, you may face costs such as title fees, closing expenses, and agent commissions.
In contrast, we offer a quicker alternative. We either buy your property for cash or connect you with buyers who can do the same. After renovating, we reintroduce the property to the market to generate profit, which supports our business. When you sell to us, we handle the inspection and closing costs with no commissions involved. This results in a faster sale, fewer hassles, and a smoother experience for you.
2. How do I know this is the best course of action for me?
Selling your property through traditional real estate channels can be complex and time-consuming. It often involves managing inspections, handling repairs, and accommodating multiple buyers, leading to fluctuating asking prices due to negotiated repair costs.
In contrast, we offer a more efficient solution. We thoroughly evaluate your situation, cover all associated selling costs, and provide you with a fair offer to expedite the sale. Even if your property is in excellent condition, a quick sale might still be beneficial. After assessing your property, we can advise you on whether working with a traditional real estate agent might better meet your needs.

4. How does it work?
At our company, we streamline the property-selling process by removing intermediaries like real estate agents, lenders, appraisers, and inspectors. We specialize in offering quick, hassle-free cash purchases for various properties, including houses, condos, apartments, and land, no matter their condition or location.
Here’s how our process works: we start with a comprehensive market analysis to assess your property’s value after renovations to HGTV standards. Then, we perform a detailed inspection to identify necessary repairs and estimate their costs. We include a modest profit margin to support our operations, ensuring a fair deal for all parties. Transparency is key, and we clearly break down the entire transaction.
By choosing our services, you avoid the costs and hassles of traditional real estate, such as property showings, open houses, multiple inspections, and lengthy listings. For more details on our all-cash, as-is transactions, visit our How it Works page. Feel free to call or text us at (860) 398-4472. Even if we can’t purchase your property, we’re here to assist with your selling efforts!
5. Why should I choose your company?
At the heart of our service is a strong commitment to trust and transparency. We provide clear, detailed analyses so you fully understand the proposed price and potential profit. Our aim is to offer you the best possible payment for your property while showcasing the time and financial benefits of selling to us.
Our reputation in Connecticut is built on honesty and fairness, establishing us as a trusted leader in cash home buying. We prioritize integrity and respect, focusing on your timeline, addressing your concerns, and meeting your needs. Supported by a robust network of investors and partners, we ensure a smooth and efficient transition to the next chapter of your life.
6. What do you do with my house once you buy it?
Once we acquire your property, we promptly begin refurbishing, handling all necessary repairs and renovations to meet HGTV standards. We then work with a trusted agent to list and manage the sale of the property. We cover all related expenses, including repairs, closing costs, fees, and commissions. Our goal is to earn a reasonable profit, which allows us to assist other clients with their property sales. We take pride in enhancing communities and boosting the local economy by increasing neighborhood values across the state.
7. How many houses do you buy?
Our business strategy focuses on acquiring multiple properties, which enables us to offer competitive pricing. While we work with narrower profit margins, our extensive client base enhances the overall impact, benefiting all parties involved. This approach allows us to support a diverse range of individuals and positively impact the communities we serve. If a direct purchase of your property isn’t feasible, one of our investment partners may be able to assist. We collaborate with experienced professionals in the house flipping industry and use reputable local attorneys to ensure a smooth and efficient closing process.
8. How is the price you pay for my house determined?
Our process begins with evaluating your property’s after-repair value (ARV), which reflects its potential market value after necessary renovations. A specialist will assess on-site to estimate repair and refurbishment costs accurately. We account for renovation expenses and costs related to selling the property. Although we use real estate agents to list the property post-purchase, selling directly to us eliminates agent fees. We also cover all holding, closing costs, fees, taxes, and commissions, typically around 10% of the ARV.
We then subtract repair, refurbishment, and selling costs, along with our minimum profit margin, to present you with a fair offer. This offer is often competitive compared to traditional selling methods, considering the additional expenses of using an agent. By choosing our services, you receive prompt cash payment and avoid the delays and challenges typically associated with selling through an agent.
9. Do you pay a fair price?
Our core principles focus on maintaining an impeccable reputation and conducting transactions with the highest integrity. We are committed to offering fair and transparent pricing. Transparency is crucial to our approach, so we provide clear calculations detailing every aspect of the pricing process. This ensures you understand how each dollar is allocated and the rationale behind our offer. We thoroughly evaluate your property’s market value, including necessary repairs, renovations, and associated selling costs. After this detailed assessment, we apply our modest commission to determine the final cash offer for your property.
10. Do I need to clean my house before you buy it?
A major benefit of our process is the peace of mind it offers. You won’t need to worry about cleaning or repairing your property—simply leave it as is, and we’ll handle everything after purchasing your home. This convenience is a key advantage that our clients greatly appreciate in our streamlined selling process.
11. Will you still buy my house if it is in poor condition?
House flipping is central to our business strategy. We increase the market value of properties through necessary repairs and improvements after acquisition, relieving you of these responsibilities. This often results in a selling price comparable to what you’d get from us but without the extended challenges. While transactions typically take about a month, we can occasionally speed up the process to just two to three weeks. Our aim is to simplify the property selling process and provide you with a smooth experience.
12. Wouldn’t listing my house with an agent on MLS be easier?
Engaging a real estate agent and listing your property on multiple platforms can be effective, but it often involves a lengthy and complex process. Managing potential buyers, accommodating appraisers and inspectors, and handling repairs can be exhausting and time-consuming as you aim for your desired price.
Renovations might increase your asking price but come with significant costs and responsibilities. The burden of hosting open houses, dealing with price reductions after weeks or months without offers, and navigating a prolonged closing process can be overwhelming.
Alternatively, we provide a fast and hassle-free solution for a cash sale. Our approach ensures a swift transaction, allowing you to move forward in your life without unnecessary delays or concerns.
13. Will you list my house on the MLS?
Our firm offers a distinctive approach to property transactions. Instead of listing your property on the MLS or acting solely as real estate agents, we buy properties directly. We collaborate with you to create the most beneficial offer based on your needs and preferences. From beginning to end, we manage every aspect of the transaction. Once we acquire your property, we handle all necessary repairs and renovations before reselling it for a profit. We focus on efficiency, ensuring you receive cash quickly and without delays. We also provide clear and detailed explanations of our offer calculations so you are fully informed and satisfied with the outcome.
14. Should I just list my house with an agent?
Engaging a real estate agent can be a good option, particularly if your timeline and repair needs align with their services. However, it often entails a lengthy and potentially frustrating process involving numerous showings, inspections, and financing challenges that can extend the sale for months. If you’re looking for a faster and more streamlined solution, Next Door Properties is here to help. We offer a smooth, expertly managed experience with quick transactions and immediate cash payments. Our approach removes the usual pressures of traditional selling methods, ensuring a hassle-free process for you.
15. How do I sell my house quickly for cash?
Our expertise is in quickly acquiring properties for cash. We begin with a detailed discussion about your property and its location to determine its maximum market value. Next, we conduct a thorough walkthrough to assess any necessary repairs and renovations. We account for these costs, along with selling expenses, and deduct them from the market value, including our fair share.
After this evaluation, we present you with a competitive offer. One of the key advantages of our service is the ability to complete the transaction in as little as 21 days, providing you with rapid access to cash. This approach avoids the lengthy waiting periods and complexities often associated with real estate agents and property listings.
16. Do I have to pay fees and commissions if I work with you?
When you work with us, you don’t need to worry about fees or commissions, as our approach differs from traditional real estate agents. Fees and commissions only apply when we resell the property after acquiring it from you.
Our pricing process is straightforward and involves three steps: first, we determine your property’s market value; second, we assess the costs of repairs, renovations, selling, and our profit; and third, we calculate and present our offer. Once you approve, we choose a closing date together and handle all paperwork with the help of a trusted local attorney. This streamlined process ensures you can quickly sell your property and receive cash without any extra expenses.
17. Am I obligated to do business with you once I complete the form?
After completing the form, you are not obligated to proceed with us. Even if we start the process and you later decide it’s not the right fit, you will incur no costs. While we believe you’ll find value in our service, we respect your choice to explore other options.
Our main goal is to help you find the best solution for your needs. We only earn from the profit made after purchasing and reselling your property.
