Virginia sale costs
Virginia’s grantor tax is 50 cents for each $500 of the greater of the sale price or value — about 0.1% — and the seller normally pays it. The contract can shift who pays. State recordation tax and, where adopted, local recordation taxes are separate. Exemptions and transfers with little or no consideration can change the total, so ask the settlement agent to itemize the taxes for your transaction.
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.
Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from those closing costs. Ask the settlement agent to show those amounts separately, too.

Here's what sellers across Pennsylvania have said about working with us.
“WellSpan transferred me to their Chambersburg facility and I needed to be there in four weeks. My West York house was in good shape but I couldn't be in two places at once for a traditional sale. USA Home Buyers had a written offer the same morning I called. Closed in eight days. I made it to Chambersburg before my start date.”
“Divorce settlement required the house on King Street to be sold. My ex and I couldn't even be in the same room. USA Home Buyers handled everything through our attorneys. One number, one closing, proceeds split the day we signed.”
“Received an Act 91 notice in January. I had no idea I had maybe six months before a sheriff sale. USA Home Buyers explained everything — the timeline, the options — and had a written offer the next morning. We closed before any court filings. I walked away with $41,000 instead of nothing.”
