Sell my house AS IS in Richmond VA
The other day, a house seller called me, wanting to “sell their house as is.”
They don’t want to
- fix the floors
- paint the walls
- update the electrical system
- replace the furnace
They had inherited the house and simply wanted to sell house as is, with all it’s ugliness and outdated looks.
You may want to sell your house “as is” because there is no time for clean up, high end repairs, or not enough money in your hand to make the repairs.
Maybe you just want to get rid your house for fast cash and sell your house as is.
Sell your house for cash as is
“As is” is just that.
We have bought these types of homes since we have been in business. Here are some examples:

However, we have bought houses as is that are ok, just out of date.

Would your house pass FHA Inspection?
We buy houses fast in Richmond Virginia and anywhere else in the state of Virginia.
In some markets, these will be resold to first time home buyers who often are using FHA or VA loans to secure their house.
One reason people come to us to sell their house fast is that their outdated or will not pass an FHA or VA inspection, or even inspection for a section 8 rental.
While this is not an article focused on such inspections requirements, you have to consider this in your pricing.
How FHA inspections influence your selling price
A seller called me wanting to sell his inherited house fast for a certain price.
A partner went out to look at the house to determine if we could buy this nasty house fast.
The end goal was to buy this house fast, fix it up and resell it to a first time home buyer. Â In this current market, that often means an FHA insured loan, or a VA loan.
Going through some of the requirements of such inspections, the partner came up with a list of expected repairs to pass that inspection to a future buyer: $30,000.
The seller was not prepared to see that his house needed $30,000 in repairs. Â But many of those repairs would be needed to meet FHA requirements for first time home buyers.
To make a deal work, this seller would have to come off his asking price by $20,000, because of the additional repairs and upgrades required by the needs of an FHA inspection. Â He knew this nasty inherited house needed work, but he wasn’t aware of the extent of work needed.
FHA inspection requirements force a price change. Â The seller could choose to fix up his own house and sell it for full market value – or simply settle for the lower price and walk away from it.
In this market, FHA and VA will impact the price at which you can sell your house to an investor.
If you want to get rid of your house that has too many repairs, call us during normal business hours, eastern time 804-719-1489.

My house in Virginia won’t sell
You’ve tried to sell your Virginia house fast via traditional means:
- Perhaps with a realtor
- Perhaps on your own as a FISBO.
- Maybe tried a few “We buy houses people.”
But the house won’t sell for the price you are asking.
I know the frustration that has caused. Â I’ve bought houses that I couldn’t resell.
Each month making payments on a mortgage on a house I couldn’t sell fast.
Each month worrying about vandals damaging the house while I was waiting for the house to sell fast.
Some of these were ugly houses that I wanted to sell.
Some of these were houses I had fixed up.
I know what an emotional challenge it is to sell a house fast that won’t sell.
Your Solution: Â Fix the price.
When it comes to houses, that’s the way to get it sold. Â Change your price.

Vacant Houses Attract Problems
I’ve been dealing in vacant houses nationwide in recent weeks.
Here are some vacant house problems that I’ve run into:
- Back taxes due for more than 1 year.
- Daily nuisance fees or code violations of $250 a day. One house had $18,000 in these fees.
- Arson
- Vandalism and graffitti.
- Bullets shot into the house, or through the windows.
- Pipes that froze over winter and busted.
- Water leaks that ruined floors, subflooring, and the like.
- Some have been torn down by the county because they were just too neglected.
If your house is vacant and is taking too long to sell, the reality is that in so.me areas of the country, that is an open invitation to problems.
I was working on a vacant house that I had bought and the pipes burst on me. Â It was a really expensive disaster.

Vandals decided to shoot at it and break the windows.

Sell Your House Fast To Move Overseas
If you are planning to move to another country, perhaps the thing that you are most concerned at this moment is how to sell your home fast.
I know people that have moved to other countries and simply want to unload their house. International relocation and future emigration issues are stressful enough, let alone preparing your house for sale.
It is very difficult to make other plans when you do not know if your house here will sell or how long it will take.
One Benefit
in Selling House Fast to An Investor
The date of your choice.
If we are able to strike a deal, we can close on the date of your choice.
This will give you the certainty to know
- when your final move out date could be,
- get the rest of your moving paperwork ready,
- sell off whatever possessions you will not want,
- pack up what you are taking,
- and so on and so on.
Challenges in the Current Real Estate Market
Real estate is always local. In the Richmond market, here are some common experiences
- High inventory means plenty of houses to choose from.
- Bank priced REOs are causing property value deflation.
- Long closing times — 45-90 days.
- Long times on the open market — 120 days plus.
- Inconvenient showings — lots of people running through your house.
- Inspection Repairs — contingent contracts give buyers an out if they don’t like something.
- Lots of Fees and buyer assistance (to help with closing costs and fees)
- Deals falling apart because lenders refuse to underwrite.
- Contingent offers upon the sale of the new buyer’s house.
