Virginia charges grantor tax of 50 cents for each $500, or fraction of $500, of the greater of the sale price or value. Virginia assigns the grantor tax to the seller, but the sale contract can shift who pays it. At a $100,000 tax basis, the grantor tax is $100. 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, so 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.

You can sell before a Virginia trustee's sale if the sale closes and pays off the loan before the auction. For an owner-occupied home, written notice generally must arrive at least 60 days before the sale; for other property, it is generally 14 days. The sale must also be advertised. Until you have a new date in writing, plan around the date on your notice. Call us right away so we can get started.

Virginia real estate generally passes at death to the heirs or the people named in the will. An executor can sell only after appointment and when the will grants a power of sale or a court grants that power; otherwise, the heirs or beneficiaries generally sign together. A sale by heirs or beneficiaries within one year after death can be challenged by estate creditors unless no court action over estate debts is started and no report of debts is filed within that year. A court-ordered sale paid through a court-appointed commissioner is protected, and a surviving spouse may have a right to stay in the home. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.

We buy fire-damaged houses exactly as they stand — no cleanup, no repairs, no hauling debris — and you keep your insurance proceeds. If you still have a mortgage, your lender may have a say in how that check is used — we'll walk through it with you.

In Virginia, selling the house does not cancel the lease. The buyer steps into the landlord's place, and the tenant keeps the lease's protections. You must notify the tenant of the sale and provide the buyer's name, address, and phone number. Security deposits and earned interest transfer to the buyer when ownership transfers; if a property manager holds the deposit, ask for the transfer in writing before closing. You don't 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.

The fines don't stop while you think about it. They pile up, they add new ones, and every month takes another bite out of what the property is worth to you. We can buy it quickly, violations and all, so you stop the bleeding and keep your equity. Virginia localities can inspect existing buildings and order corrections. For an unsafe building, an official can order repairs or demolition; a locality can generally do the work after at least 30 days' notice, with shorter timelines for serious hazards or emergencies. Unpaid local work may become a lien alongside unpaid real-estate taxes. When you sell to us, we're the buyer, so the repairs become our job.

When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing. We buy houses with back taxes and liens — payoffs get handled through the closing, not by you upfront.
