Avoid repairs, contractors, and public showings

We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

A direct as-is sale lets you talk about the house as it stands instead of first arranging repair bids, hiring contractors, cleaning out the property, or preparing for public listing showings. You do not have to resolve those logistics before contacting us.

Who can sign depends on the deed and court papers

The recorded deed shows whose names are on title. A divorce decree or another court order that addresses the house may also affect whether a sale can proceed and what signatures are needed. Do not assume that being married, separated, or divorced by itself answers who can sign for this property.

The title company reviews the actual ownership and closing documents. A Virginia family-law attorney can explain what an order requires in your situation. You can tell us about the house while those document questions are being reviewed.

Virginia Code § 20-107.3 covers how a court classifies and distributes property in a divorce. Read it with the deed and any order about the house; an attorney can explain how those documents apply to your situation.

Bring us the part that is stuck

If access, repairs, showings, timing, or paperwork is difficult, tell us what is happening. You do not have to resolve every disagreement before we discuss the property.

Call 888-274-5006 or use the form above.

What happens next

Start with the address and what you know about the house, access, timing, and paperwork. You do not need every answer before the first conversation.

  1. 1. Tell us about the house

    Share the Arlington address, condition, occupancy, access concerns, and preferred timing. If you have the deed, court papers, or payoff information, mention what you know; do not wait until everything is organized to call.

  2. 2. Review the offer and written terms

    We discuss the property as it stands. We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.

  3. 3. Check ownership and closing documents

    The title company reviews the deed, ownership, required signatures, payoff information, and documents needed to close. A Virginia family-law attorney can explain the legal effect of a divorce agreement or court order.

  4. 4. Review the closing figures

    When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Signing from another location

You can sign separately; we can send a notary to each of you.

Sell from anywhere in the country — we can send a notary to you, and you don't have to attend settlement or even visit the property.
