How Our Cash Home Buying Process Works in Richmond
Selling your Richmond house to Home Buyers of Virginia takes three steps, and most sellers go from first phone call to signed offer in under 48 hours. (For the full step-by-step breakdown, see how it works.)
Step 1: Tell us about your house. Submit your property address through the form above, or call us directly. We will ask a short list of questions about the property’s condition, your timeline, and your situation. The whole conversation takes about ten minutes.
Step 2: Receive a fair, no-obligation written offer within 24 hours. We pull recent comparable sales from your Richmond neighborhood, account for the property’s current condition, and present a written offer. You will see exactly how we arrived at the number. There is no pressure to accept, and the offer is good for seven days.
Step 3: Close at a local Richmond title company on your chosen date. Once you accept, we coordinate with a Richmond-area title company. We can close in as little as 7 days, or wait 30, 60, even 90 days if you need time to plan your move. You walk away with a check (or wire transfer) and no further responsibility for the property.
That is the whole process. No open houses. No buyer financing falling through. No inspection objections. No surprise costs at the closing table.

Why Selling a Richmond House for Cash Often Beats Listing on the MLS
A traditional MLS listing in the Richmond metro takes 30 to 90 days from listing to closing, and that is when everything goes right. The property must be cleaned, staged, and photographed. Repairs come up during inspection. Buyer financing fails on about 1 in 6 deals. Agent commissions run 5 to 6 percent of the sale price. Then there are closing costs, holding costs through the listing period, and the time you spend coordinating it all.
A direct cash sale to Home Buyers of Virginia eliminates every one of those friction points. The offer accounts for the property exactly as it sits today, and the proceeds are net of agent commissions and most closing costs because we cover them. For Richmond sellers who value speed, certainty, and simplicity over absolute top-of-market sale price, the math often favors the cash sale once all costs and timing are factored in.
We are not the right fit for every seller. If your property is move-in ready, fully updated, and you can wait several months for the right buyer, listing with a Realtor will typically net a higher gross price. We will tell you that honestly. But if your house needs work, you need to move quickly, or you simply do not want to deal with the listing process, a direct cash sale is often the better path.
Richmond Neighborhoods We Buy Houses In
We purchase houses throughout the City of Richmond and the surrounding counties. Below are the neighborhoods we work in most often, along with the ZIP codes that anchor each area.
Church Hill (ZIP 23223)
The oldest residential neighborhood in Richmond, Church Hill is filled with 1800s and early-1900s rowhomes, many with original heart pine floors, plaster walls, and back-yard carriage houses. We buy in all conditions, from fully renovated single-family homes near Libby Hill Park to long-vacant frame houses on the east end of Broad Street.
The Fan (ZIP 23220)
The Fan District’s Victorian rowhouses, Italianate flats, and brick three-stories sit between VCU’s Monroe Park campus and Boulevard. Many Fan properties have been owner-occupied for decades, while others were carved into student rentals near VCU. We buy both.
Carytown and Museum District (ZIPs 23221, 23220)
1920s bungalows, Tudor revivals, and brick two-stories surround the Carytown retail corridor and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. Properties in this area are typically older, with original systems that have been partially updated over time.
Northside (ZIPs 23222, 23227)
Northside includes Bellevue, Ginter Park, Battery Park, Highland Park, and Brookland Park. The housing stock is a mix of 1920s bungalows, foursquares, Cape Cods, and post-war ranches. We see a high volume of inherited and tenant-occupied properties here.
Forest Hill and Westover Hills (ZIPs 23225, 23224)
South of the James River, Forest Hill Park anchors a neighborhood of mid-century brick ranches, split-levels, and Cape Cods, most built between 1935 and 1960. Westover Hills, just east, has a similar profile with slightly older brick homes and large mature lots.
Manchester and Old Manchester (ZIP 23224)
Once the city’s industrial south side, Manchester is now a mix of new construction townhomes, converted warehouse lofts, and older single-family homes still in original condition. We buy across the spectrum here, including tear-downs.
Shockoe Bottom and Shockoe Slip (ZIP 23219)
Loft conversions, riverfront condos, and historic warehouse buildings near the James River. Condos and townhomes are welcome.
Other Richmond ZIPs we buy in regularly
23230 (Near West End), 23234 (Bellwood, Drewry’s Bluff area), 23231 (East End and Varina), 23226 (Three Chopt corridor toward Henrico).
Situations Richmond Homeowners Call Us About
We have purchased homes in every situation Virginia property owners face. The most common reasons Richmond sellers contact us include:
- Foreclosure or pre-foreclosure: Virginia is a non-judicial foreclosure state, which means the timeline from default to auction can be as short as 60 days. We can often close before the auction date and help preserve your remaining equity.
- Inherited property and probate: homes inherited through the Henrico, Chesterfield, Hanover, or City of Richmond probate courts often sit empty for months. We buy directly from estates and coordinate with the executor or attorney.
- Tired of being a landlord: VCU-area rentals, Northside duplexes, and Forest Hill long-term holds. We buy occupied properties (with tenants in place) or vacant.
- Divorce or separation: a fast cash sale converts the house to liquid funds that can be divided cleanly, without months of showings and negotiations.
- Behind on payments, taxes, or HOA dues: City of Richmond delinquent real estate taxes can trigger enforcement. We have closed deals where the tax payoff was wired directly from the title company.
- Major repairs needed: foundation, roof, mold, structural, electrical, plumbing. We buy strictly as-is.
- Condemned property or open code violations: yes, we buy condemned homes in the City of Richmond. Open violations transfer to us at closing.
- Relocation: military families leaving Fort Gregg-Adams or Defense Supply Center Richmond, professionals taking jobs out of state, retirees moving south.
- Hoarder houses, fire damage, water damage: leave the contents. We handle the cleanout.
If your situation is not listed, call us anyway. We have seen most things.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How fast can I sell my house for cash in Richmond, VA?
Most Richmond closings happen within 7 to 21 days from offer acceptance. If you need to close faster than 7 days, we can sometimes accommodate with prior title work. If you need 60 or 90 days to plan your move, we can wait. The timeline is yours to choose, not ours.
Do you buy houses in Henrico, Chesterfield, and Hanover counties too?
Yes. We buy across all three counties plus the City of Richmond, Petersburg, Colonial Heights, and the outer ring (Powhatan, Goochland, New Kent, Charles City, King William). If the property is within about an hour of downtown Richmond, we can make an offer. See our Henrico, Chesterfield, and Hanover pages for county-specific details.
What if my house is in foreclosure or condemned?
We routinely buy properties in active foreclosure and condemned houses in the City of Richmond and surrounding counties. If you have received a Notice of Sale, contact us right away so we can review the timeline. Selling before the auction date can preserve your remaining equity and prevent the foreclosure from finalizing on your credit report. Condemned properties are bought strictly as-is, with all open violations transferring to us at closing. If you are working with a HUD-approved housing counselor, you can find one through HUD’s official counselor directory.
Are you a real cash buyer or a wholesaler?
Home Buyers of Virginia is a direct cash buyer. We purchase properties in our own name with our own funds, and we close at local Virginia title companies. We do not assign contracts to third-party investors, and we do not require you to wait while we shop your house to a buyer pool.
Will I get a fair price compared to listing with a Realtor?
A traditional MLS listing typically generates a higher gross sale price after several months of showings, repairs, inspection negotiations, and 5 to 6 percent in agent commissions. A direct cash sale generates a lower gross price but eliminates all of those costs and the time. For sellers who value speed, certainty, and simplicity, the net difference is often smaller than expected. We present our offer in writing along with the comps we used, so you can compare to a Realtor’s CMA and decide.
How do you calculate your cash offer?
Our offer is built on three inputs: the after-repair value of comparable Richmond sales within roughly a quarter-mile radius, the estimated cost of repairs and updates to bring the property to market condition, and a small margin that covers our holding, closing, and resale costs. We share the comps and the math when we present the offer, in writing.
Do I have to clean out the house or make any repairs?
No. Leave everything behind that you do not want, including furniture, appliances, personal items, debris, vehicles, and anything else. We handle the cleanout after closing. We also handle every repair, large or small. You walk away from the property as it sits.
How long does foreclosure take in Virginia?
Virginia is one of the faster non-judicial foreclosure states in the country. After default, the trustee must advertise the sale once a week for at least two consecutive weeks in a local newspaper before the auction can be held. From the first missed payment to a foreclosure auction, the timeline is typically 60 to 120 days, although lenders may agree to forbearance or repayment plans that extend it. If you are facing a Notice of Sale, contact a HUD-approved housing counselor and consider a direct cash sale before the auction date. Selling before auction can protect your remaining equity and your credit.
