Before you sell in Southeastern Connecticut
If you have PCS orders, tell us your report date and we’ll work toward a closing date that fits. For shoreline houses, gather your flood insurance and elevation information. Check that your town property taxes are current; Connecticut towns collect their own taxes, and unpaid taxes can become a lien on the house.
