From first conversation to settlement
The Richmond sale, step by step
1. Tell us about the house
Share the address, condition, who lives there, access, and timing. You can call or use the form while you are gathering documents; you do not need every answer for the first conversation.
2. Talk through the property
We discuss the house as it sits, including repairs, occupancy, access, and any estate, payoff, lien, tax, or timing questions that could affect the sale.
3. Read the written offer and terms
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing. Read the terms and ask questions before you decide whether to proceed.
4. Let the title company check the sale details
The title company checks the deed, who can sign, mortgage payoffs, liens, applicable taxes, and documents needed for settlement. If an estate or court notice is involved, the actual papers help identify what still needs review.
5. Review the settlement sheet and close
We always review the settlement sheet with the seller and walk through how the money breaks down so there is no confusion. We try to do that the day before closing so settlement is smooth; the title company confirms the final numbers.
You're going to get a fair price and not have to do anything. Just show up at settlement.
Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
Compare the written Cash Offer and EZ Sale numbers with the work and costs of listing. You choose which terms, if any, fit your situation.
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.

Check how the closing figures add up
The settlement sheet shows the sale price, mortgage payoff, liens, tax items, other costs, and the amount scheduled for disbursement. Ask about any line you do not recognize and compare the figures with the written terms.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate; the title company confirms which figures apply to this sale.

We stay with the process
It's real estate. Sometimes there are bumps in the road. We won't disappear when that happens, and we'll be fighting to get this to the closing table.
