Selling a Short Pump house in a difficult situation
Foreclosure
Fire damage
You keep the insurance money and don't have to worry about the house anymore — we'll take care of it.
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.
Liens and back taxes
When you sell to us, we can set it up so you don't have to prepay anything — it comes out at closing.
Tenants
You're done — no turnover, no repairs, no more bad tenants.
Code violations
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.
Divorce
You only have to agree on one thing — the price. After that we handle the rest, so there's nothing to argue about over repairs, contractors, showings, or who pays for what.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
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.

Virginia selling costs: deed taxes and recording
Virginia charges grantor tax when the deed is recorded. The state rate is 50 cents for each $500 of the greater of the sale price or value — $100 on a $100,000 taxable sale when the sale price and value are the same. State recordation tax is separate, and local recordation tax may apply where adopted. By law, the seller owes grantor tax, though the sale contract can shift who pays. Exemptions and transfers with little or no consideration can change the amount; the settlement agent confirms the final taxes.

Questions about selling a house in Short Pump
Can I sell my Short Pump house without fixing it up first?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
What if a trustee’s sale is scheduled for my Virginia house?
You may still be able to sell if closing and loan payoff happen before the scheduled trustee’s sale. For an owner-occupied home, written notice generally must go out at least 60 days before the sale; for other property, generally 14 days. Until you have a new date in writing, plan around the date on your notice. Call us right away so we can get started.
Can an inherited Virginia house be sold before the estate is settled?
Virginia real estate passes at death to heirs or people named in the will. An executor can sell only after the circuit court appoints them, and only if the will directs a sale or grants a power of sale, or a court grants that power. Otherwise, heirs or beneficiaries generally sign the deed together. A sale by heirs or beneficiaries within one year after the death can be challenged by the deceased owner’s creditors unless no court action over estate debts is started and no report of debts is filed within that year. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.
Can I sell my Short Pump rental with tenants still living there?
Yes. 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. Tell us about the property and tenancy. The lease stays in place, and the buyer steps into the landlord’s role. At the ownership transfer, security deposits and any interest earned go to the buyer, and tenants must be told about the sale and given the buyer’s contact information.
What taxes and fees come with selling a Virginia house?
Virginia charges grantor tax when the deed is recorded, along with separate state recordation taxes and local recordation taxes where adopted. By law, the seller owes grantor tax, though the sale contract can shift who pays. Exemptions and transfers with little or no consideration can change the amount. 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.
How soon can closing happen?
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
Does Henrico County register short-term rentals?
Henrico has a Short-Term Residential Registry for covered rentals, with zoning approval and online registration. If you have used the property as a short-term rental, tell us about the setup and we’ll talk it through with you.
