Tell us about your Tuckahoe houseThe short answer
Tell us about the house, its condition, who lives there, and what matters to you about timing. We’ll look at the property with you, then you can compare the written terms with the work and costs of a listing.
Compare the choices
A listing may fit if you want to prepare the house, schedule showings, and wait for a buyer. Compare the expected sale price with repair and cleanout costs, agent commissions, buyer requests, monthly bills, and the time you expect to carry the house.
We look at the house as it stands and give you written terms to compare. You can weigh what you may keep against the repairs, cleanout, and carrying costs you would take on with a listing.
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
A higher sale price is not always a higher amount kept after costs. Put the written numbers and the work each option involves side by side.
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.

Closing questions
Virginia real estate generally passes at death to the heirs or people named in the will. An executor can sell only after appointment through the circuit court clerk and only if the will directs a sale or grants a power of sale, or a court grants that power. Otherwise, heirs or beneficiaries generally sign the deed together. The will, list of heirs, and appointment papers help sort out who needs to sign.
A sale by heirs or beneficiaries within one year after death can be challenged by the deceased owner’s creditors unless no court action over estate debts is started and no report of debts is filed within that year. A court-ordered sale during that year is protected when the money goes to a court-appointed commissioner. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.
Virginia Code §64.2-200 — real estate passing to heirs · §64.2-521 — executor power to sell · §64.2-534 · §64.2-535 · §8.01-81 — court-ordered sale
Virginia home foreclosures are usually trustee’s sales under a deed of trust. You can sell if the sale closes and pays off the loan before the trustee’s sale. For an owner-occupied home, written notice generally must go to the owner at least 60 days before the sale; for other property, it is generally 14 days. The sale must be advertised in a local newspaper.
A trustee can postpone the sale, and a postponed sale must be advertised again. Until you have a new date in writing, plan around the date on your notice. The current loan payoff also matters before you rely on a closing date. Call us right away with the date on your notice.

In Virginia, the lease continues after a sale, and the buyer steps into the landlord’s place. Ending a tenancy still depends on the lease and Virginia notice rules. The seller must notify the tenant of the sale and give the buyer’s name, address, and phone number. Security deposits and earned interest transfer to the buyer when ownership changes. If a property manager holds the deposit, the owner must request it in writing before closing, and the manager must tell each tenant the deposit went to the new owner. The new owner must return any deposit owed when the tenancy ends, even if the deposit was not passed along. You don't always need to evict to sell to us. We buy houses with tenants in place — we've done it many times, including cash-for-keys when that works better for everyone.

Virginia taxes the deed when it is recorded. By law, the seller pays grantor tax: 50 cents for each $500 of the greater of the sale price or value, about 0.1%. The sales contract can shift who pays it. State recordation tax is separate, and a locality may add local recordation tax. Exemptions and transfers with little or no consideration can change the amount; the settlement agent confirms the figures.
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 fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
