Sell your house fast in Richmond, Virginia

Where in the city we buy

All four quadrants, all price ranges under our ceiling, and we do not skip a neighborhood because the numbers are small or the house is rough.

What makes a Richmond city house different

Most cash buyers treat Richmond as one market. It is not, and the housing stock is the reason.

A lot of what we look at inside the city was built before 1940. Frame houses and brick row houses with plaster walls, slate or old shingle roofs, knob and tube wiring that was never fully replaced, cast iron drain stacks, and boilers that have been repaired more times than anyone remembers. Half the time there is beautiful heart pine under three layers of carpet and vinyl. Sometimes there is an addition somebody put on in 1978 without a permit, and it shows up as a problem the first time a buyer's lender orders an appraisal.

None of that scares us and none of it has to be fixed before you sell. What it does mean is that a buyer who does not know Richmond will either miss the cost of it and back out later, or pad the repair number so heavily that the offer is insulting. This is exactly why we itemize the repair list for you instead of handing over one lump number. Here is how that works.

The situations we hear most in the city

An inherited house the family has held for generations

This is the most common call we get from Richmond. A parent or grandparent owned the house for forty years, it needs everything, the heirs live in three different states, and nobody wants to be the one managing a renovation from out of town. We buy these regularly, we can work around probate, and we do not need the house emptied first.

Assessments went up and the house did not

City assessments have moved a lot in some Richmond neighborhoods while the houses in them stayed exactly as they were. If a fixed income is now carrying a tax bill built on what the block could be worth rather than what your house currently is, that is a real squeeze and it is worth talking about your options rather than waiting.

A rental that has stopped being worth it

Rich has owned over 100 rentals in his career, so this conversation is an easy one. We buy occupied, tenants current or not, and we do not need you to deliver it vacant.

Behind on payments

If a foreclosure sale date is set, tell us the date in the first sentence. Options narrow as it approaches but they very rarely disappear entirely.

What you do not have to do

No repairs. No cleaning. No clearing the basement or the attic. No showings, no sign in the yard, no strangers walking through. One walkthrough with Rich, about thirty minutes, and then a number with the reasoning attached.
