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. The comparison below lays out the program terms side by side.

What you keep depends on the written sale amount after your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, your share of current property taxes, and other amounts that apply to the property. Those obligations are separate from the closing costs we pay. Compare the costs and assumptions for each sale path instead of relying on the headline price.

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; those are separate amounts tied to the property.

Yes. You can call before you have every document or every decision figured out. Start with the address and what you know about the house, who occupies it, and your timing. If you have a payoff statement, estate paper, lease, or notice already, mention it; the actual documents needed for closing depend on the property and title review.

Yes. We can review tenant-occupied properties. Tell us the lease status, access limits, rent situation, and any notices already involved. We do not tell owners to ignore Virginia court, lease, or title process.

Often, yes, if your sale closes and pays off the loan before the foreclosure 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 of the sale 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. Plan to close and pay off the loan before the trustee's sale; do not count on buying the house back afterward. The trustee can postpone a sale, and a postponed sale must be advertised again. Do not assume the sale date has moved; have the title company or an attorney confirm the current date and payoff amount. 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.
