Max Cohen, Founder

"I know the Richmond market is unique. I know driving I-95 to Downtown Richmond is a grind. I see Ranch and Split-Level homes dealing with Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) panels or strict Historic Preservation district restrictions. Unlike Keller Williams Richmond, I don't ask you to fix it. I buy it as-is, saving you $20,400 in commissions. We handle the City of Richmond Department of Public Utilities and City of Richmond Office of the Assessor of Real Estate paperwork for you."

Selling Your Richmond Home Under Specific Conditions

Probate & Inheritance in Richmond City

Inheriting a property in Richmond, Virginia, can bring unexpected responsibilities, especially when navigating the probate process. Virginia's probate timeline, handled through the Richmond City Circuit Court Clerk, can extend for many months, often 6 to 12 months or even longer depending on the estate's complexity. During this period, the inherited property often incurs maintenance costs, taxes, and insurance, creating a financial burden.

If the home needs repairs or updates, selling it traditionally becomes an even greater challenge. Max Cohen offers a direct solution for heirs. We buy probate properties as-is, allowing you to bypass lengthy court procedures, avoid Realtor fees, and settle the estate faster. This means no waiting for appraisal periods or buyer financing approvals that can further delay an already complex process.

Foreclosure in Virginia

Facing foreclosure in Virginia can be a stressful experience, but you have options beyond losing your home. Virginia is primarily a non-judicial foreclosure state, meaning lenders can foreclose without court intervention, provided the deed of trust contains a power of sale clause. The process typically begins with a Notice of Default, after which a sale can occur in 60-90 days. This timeline emphasizes the urgency for homeowners to act quickly.

We specialize in helping Richmond homeowners stop foreclosure. By purchasing your property for cash, we can often close quickly enough to pay off your mortgage and prevent the foreclosure from appearing on your credit history. This preserves your financial standing and provides a clean break from the property. Don't let the threat of foreclosure consume you; a fast cash offer can be a viable way out.

Permits & Code Violations

Selling a home in Richmond with unpermitted work or code violations, especially for older Ranch and Split-Level homes that may have Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) panels, can significantly complicate a traditional sale. Most buyers, and certainly their lenders, will require these issues to be resolved before closing. This means investing time and money into repairs and dealing with city permits and inspections.

We buy properties in their exact current condition, including any existing code violations or lack of permits. You don't need to retrofit your Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) panels, address aging plumbing, or fix any other issues. Our cash offer reflects the property as-is, saving you the stress, expense, and delay of bringing your home up to code. This simplifies your exit from the property, allowing you to sell quickly and without additional out-of-pocket costs.

Estimated Repair Costs in Richmond

Repair Type Estimated Richmond Cost Our Offer (No Repairs Needed)
Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) panels replacement $2,500 - $4,500 Included (we handle it)
New Roof Installation $12,000 - $20,000+ Included (we handle it)
Foundation Repair $5,000 - $30,000+ Included (we handle it)
Full Interior Renovation $30,000 - $80,000+ Included (we handle it)

Max's Insight:

Richmond code enforcement is strict about Historic Preservation district restrictions. This can significantly increase renovation costs and timelines for homeowners. We buy with the violation attached, saving you the headache and expense of compliance.

Richmond Neighborhood Focus

Richmond's diverse neighborhoods each offer unique character, from historic charm to modern convenience. We understand the specific nuances of these areas, which helps us provide accurate and fair cash offers for your home, no matter its location or condition.

Church Hill

As one of Richmond's oldest and most historic neighborhoods, Church Hill is known for its beautiful 19th-century architecture, cobblestone streets, and stunning views of the city skyline and James River. Home to St. John's Church, where Patrick Henry delivered his famous "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" speech, this area is rich in history but also subject to strict Historic Preservation district restrictions. Properties here often come with unique challenges related to maintaining historical integrity, which we are fully equipped to handle.

The Fan District

The Fan District is famous for its tree-lined avenues of Victorian and Edwardian homes, many dating back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It's a vibrant, walkable neighborhood popular with students, families, and young professionals due to its proximity to Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and a wealth of local shops, restaurants, and museums. While highly desirable, many homes are older and may feature typical issues like Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) panels or aging plumbing. We appreciate the unique value here and offer competitive cash offers for homes in any condition.

Museum District

Adjacent to The Fan, the Museum District offers a slightly more relaxed pace while still being centrally located. It’s home to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and the Virginia Museum of History & Culture. This area features a mix of architectural styles, including stately Colonials and brick Ranch homes. Residents enjoy easy access to cultural institutions and Byrd Park. Homes here often appeal to those seeking established, well-maintained properties, though some still present common older home challenges.

Northside (e.g., Bellevue, Ginter Park)

Richmond's Northside encompasses several distinct communities like Bellevue and Ginter Park, known for their charming bungalows, larger historic homes, and tree-lined streets. These neighborhoods offer a suburban feel within city limits, often providing larger lots and a quieter atmosphere. Families often seek out Northside for its relatively easy access to highly-rated public schools in Henrico County Public Schools, making it a desirable residential choice. The area sees a mix of well-maintained properties and those that could benefit from updates, all of which we consider for a cash offer.

Whether your property is a historic gem in Church Hill or a charming Ranch home in Northside, we understand the specific market dynamics and potential challenges, from strict preservation guidelines to the need for system updates. We're prepared to make a fair offer regardless of the property's unique characteristics.

Local Richmond landmarks include The Diamond, home of the Richmond Flying Squirrels, and the expansive greenspaces of Byrd Park.
