Frequently Asked Questions About Selling in Richmond
Is selling to a cash buyer right for my Richmond property?
Selling to a cash buyer is ideal if you need to sell fast, want to avoid agent commissions (saving you up to $40,800), or have a property in less-than-perfect condition, like an older Ranch-style home with Galvanized steel pipes. It's a straightforward, no-hassle process.
How does your offer compare to market value in Richmond?
Our offers are competitive and fair, based on the after-repair value of your property, minus our projected repair costs and a small profit margin. While it may not be full market retail value ($680,000 for a median home), the value comes from speed, convenience, and zero out-of-pocket expenses for you.
What if my Richmond home has code violations or zoning issues?
We specialize in buying challenging properties, including those with Unpermitted additions or other code violations. We'll assess the situation and factor any remediation into our offer, taking the burden off your shoulders. You won't need to resolve these issues yourself.
How does the Richmond climate affect home selling?
Richmond's coastal location means properties can be affected by specific environmental risks, most notably Sea-level rise and coastal flooding, with some areas falling into FEMA Flood Zone AE. We understand these factors and can provide an offer regardless of potential climate threats to your property.
What are the main advantages of a Direct Cash Offer Transaction?
A Direct Cash Offer Transaction eliminates common headaches of traditional sales: no agent fees, no need for repairs, no appraisal contingencies, no financing fall-throughs, and you choose the closing date. It's the most secure and fastest way to liquidate your property in Richmond.
