Straight Answers
When You Should List Instead

List with a DC agent if the house is in good repair, you have no fixed deadline, and you can give a sale 60 to 90 days. DC is a market where financed buyers compete hard, and one of them will almost always pay more than we can.

Why our number is lower. A cash offer has to absorb repairs, holding costs and a resale margin. Paying a commission out of a higher sale price frequently nets you more in this city — and we will tell you when that is the case.

A cash sale fits when the retail path is unreliable: a row house with repairs that will not pass an appraisal, a tenant in place, an inherited property still in probate, a vacant house costing you monthly, or a foreclosure date closing in.

DC Rules That Change How a Sale Works

Tenants and TOPA

DC's Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act (TOPA) gives tenants the right to receive notice and a chance to buy before a rental is sold. Since 2018, most single-family rentals are exempt, but the exemption doesn't apply when an elderly or disabled tenant lives there, and multi-unit buildings are still covered. Get advice from a DC real estate attorney before you sign. We buy tenant-occupied properties and work within the TOPA timeline. See selling a house with tenants.

Vacant and blighted property taxes

DC taxes an ordinary owner-occupied or rented home at $0.85 per $100 of assessed value. Property classified as vacant is taxed at $5 per $100, and blighted property at $10 per $100. An empty inherited rowhouse can get very expensive to hold, which is why many estates sell quickly.

Probate and foreclosure

Estates for DC residents are handled by the Probate Division of DC Superior Court. Read the inherited house guide. For an owner-occupied home, a lender that wants a non-judicial foreclosure sale must first send a mediation notice, and you can choose to mediate. A sale before the foreclosure date can pay off the loan and keep your remaining equity. More on selling to avoid foreclosure.

Rowhouses in every ward

Most of what we buy in DC is rowhouses with shared walls, flat roofs, old plumbing and basements that leak, in Petworth, Brookland, Trinidad, Capitol Hill, Anacostia, Congress Heights and Deanwood. We buy in all eight wards, as-is. See selling a house as-is.
