Richmond is an old city with a lot of renters. Census estimates put renters at more than half of households and the median year built for homes in the late 1950s, with more than a quarter built before 1940. In neighborhoods like Church Hill, Jackson Ward and the Fan, many homes are in historic districts where exterior work needs approval. If you own a Richmond house that needs work or comes with tenants, we'll make you a cash offer as-is.
We buy houses in all 50 states. These are just some of the areas we serve. Don't see your city? We still want to hear from you.

Why Richmond owners sell to us
We hear from landlords ready to stop, heirs who inherited a family home, and owners who don't want to take on a historic-district renovation.
See our pages for an inherited house, probate, a house that needs repairs, being a tired landlord, or a vacant house.
Probate and foreclosure in Richmond
Richmond is an independent city, not part of any county, so estates are qualified in the Richmond Circuit Court Clerk's Office. Henrico or Chesterfield homes go through those counties' circuit courts. Virginia foreclosures are usually trustee sales with 60 days' notice to owner-occupants. See our Virginia page.
