Sell as-is, without repair work

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

Who can sign? We review the deed and any court order

The deed shows who is listed as an owner, and a divorce order may affect how the house can be sold. We review title, payoff, occupancy, and seller authority with the title company so it can confirm the documents and signatures needed for closing. A Virginia attorney can explain what an order means for your situation.

Bring us the problem before every disagreement is settled

If repairs, contractor choices, showings, access, timing, or who pays for what is holding things up, tell us what is happening. You do not need to solve all of those practical questions before talking about the house.

What happens next

Start with the address and what you know about the house. You do not have to gather paperwork before we talk.

  1. 1. Tell us about the house

    We ask about the Richmond address, the house's condition, and what is making a regular sale difficult. We can take it from there.

  2. 2. Review a written offer and terms

    We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and clear written terms to review up front, before you commit. If you choose to sell, we close through a title company.

    No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees.

  3. 3. Confirm the documents and signing authority

    We review title, payoff, occupancy, and seller authority with the title company. The title company confirms the records and signatures needed for this property; we can coordinate with your attorney.

    Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.

  4. 4. Review the settlement figures and close

    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 include your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes. The title company reviews the final settlement figures with you.

Signing separately

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

Signing from another location

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.

Richmond property records and Virginia guidance

Richmond is an independent city, so its Circuit Court Clerk — Deeds division handles local deed records rather than a separate county office. We work with the title company to review the records that matter to the sale.

Virginia Code § 20-107.3

Virginia's equitable-distribution law covers how marital property may be divided in a divorce. A Virginia attorney can explain how an order about the house affects your sale.

Compare what you would keep

A written price is not the same as what remains after a mortgage payoff, taxes, liens, repairs, cleanout, and other costs. Use your own assumptions in the Richmond home-sale net proceeds calculator to compare possible sale paths.
