Selling choices
Listing may fit a house that is ready to show and an owner who can carry the preparation and waiting time. Price repairs, cleanout, photography, showings, inspection requests, commissions, concessions, utilities, insurance, taxes, and the time before closing. A higher sale price is not the same as the amount you keep.

We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances.

Staunton is an independent city and its own county-equivalent jurisdiction. Augusta County is nearby regional context, not Staunton city's county. Confirm the parcel jurisdiction before using an office or record link; the same mailing area can include property outside the city.
Staunton's documented housing includes older and historic homes. Visit Staunton notes that many Newtown homes emerged between the 1870s and 1920s, and some area structures date to the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The city names Gospel Hill, Beverley, The Wharf, Stuart Addition, and Newtown among its historic preservation districts. A neighborhood name or a home's age does not establish the designation or repair needs of a particular parcel; check the address and proposed work with the city.

Before setting a closing plan
Start with the deed and the ownership information for the house. If it is inherited or part of an estate, the title company can identify the documents and signatures it needs; check estate authority with the appropriate attorney or court. See the Staunton inherited-property guide for more on estate questions.
Share the lease, who lives there, access limits, any notices, and your possession expectations. These details affect the comparison and closing plan. A buyer conversation does not replace the lease or the proper process for a particular tenancy. Read the Staunton tenant-occupied guide.
Virginia's grantor tax is generally 50 cents for each $500 of the greater of the sale price or value—about 0.1%. The law assigns that tax to the seller, though the sale contract can shift who pays. State and, where adopted, local recordation taxes are separate; exemptions or transfers with little or no consideration can change the amount. The settlement agent confirms the figures for the deed.
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.
This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes. Read Virginia Code § 58.1-802, § 58.1-801, and § 58.1-814.
Often, you can still sell if the sale closes and pays off the loan before the trustee's sale. Virginia foreclosures usually use a deed of trust; the trustee can auction the property without a court case. For an owner-occupied home, written notice generally must go to the owner at least 60 days before sale, or 14 days for other property, and the sale must be advertised in a local newspaper. A postponed sale must be advertised again. Do not assume the date changed; ask the title company or an attorney to confirm the current date and payoff. Do not count on buying the house back after the sale.
Our agreement of sale will often get a trustee's sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think.

Compare the written price and terms with a realistic listing plan: repairs, cleanout, commissions, concessions, utilities, insurance, taxes, mortgage payments, and the time you would carry the house. A Staunton net-proceeds calculator is available on this page to help compare estimates.
The deed, ownership details, and any estate or court papers matter. Ask the title company to identify the signatures it needs, and check estate authority with the appropriate attorney or court before relying on a closing plan. A family relationship by itself does not identify who can sign.
Tell us who occupies the property, what the lease says, what access is available, and when possession matters. A sale review does not settle lease or possession questions; check the actual agreement and notices for your situation.
Often, yes, if your sale closes and pays off the loan before the trustee's sale. Virginia home foreclosures usually proceed as trustee's sales under a deed of trust.
