Your written offer and closing
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
Before closing, we'll talk through the title, any payoff, who lives in the house, and who will sign.
We always review the settlement sheet with the seller and walk through how the money breaks down so there is no confusion. We try to do that the day before closing so settlement is smooth; the title company confirms the final numbers.
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
Closing costs
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Virginia state and local recordation taxes, grantor tax and any applicable regional WMATA capital fee, regional congestion relief fee or regional transportation improvement fee.
No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.
Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.
