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.

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

Virginia law generally assigns grantor tax to the seller: 50 cents for each $500 of the greater of the sale price or value. The contract can shift who pays. State recordation tax is separate, and local recordation tax may also apply. Exemptions and transfers with little or no consideration can change the amount; the settlement agent confirms the figures for your sale. 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.

Often, yes, if your sale closes and pays off the loan before the trustee's sale. Virginia home foreclosures are usually trustee's sales under a deed of trust: the trustee auctions the house without a court case. For an owner-occupied home, written notice generally must go to the owner at least 60 days ahead, or 14 days for other property, and the sale must be advertised in a local newspaper. A trustee can postpone a sale, and a postponed sale must be advertised again. Until you have a new date in writing, plan around the date on your notice. Confirm the current payoff amount before relying on a closing date, and call us right away so we can get started.

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.

You don't need to pay off your back taxes before we settle. We buy houses with back taxes and liens — payoffs get handled through the closing, not by you upfront.
