Virginia markets we buy in
How selling works in Virginia
Foreclosures move quickly
Most Virginia foreclosures are non-judicial trustee sales under a deed of trust, so there's no court case to slow things down. Once the trustee sets a sale date, the time to sell is short. Call early. More on selling to avoid foreclosure.
Probate goes through the circuit court clerk
A will is probated in the circuit court clerk's office for the city or county where the owner lived. See selling an inherited house.
Disclosure and closing costs
Virginia is largely a "buyer beware" state. Sellers give a disclosure statement that tells the buyer to do their own inspections. Virginia sellers customarily pay the grantor's tax at closing. When you sell to us, there's no agent commission.
Military moves
Hampton Roads has one of the largest concentrations of military bases in the country, so PCS orders drive a lot of sales. We can close around your report date. See selling when you relocate.

How it works
If listing with an agent would net you more, for example because the house is updated and you have time, we'll say so.
Virginia seller questions
How fast is a Virginia foreclosure?
Most are non-judicial trustee sales, which can move much faster than court foreclosures in states like Ohio or Florida. Call as soon as you get a notice.
Can you close while I'm already at my next duty station?
Yes. The title company can arrange remote signing, and we can schedule closing around your move.
Where in Virginia do you buy?
Richmond and the Hampton Roads cities: Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Newport News, Hampton, Portsmouth and Suffolk.
Who pays the grantor's tax?
In Virginia the seller customarily pays it. We'll show every closing cost in writing before you sign.
