How Propcash stacks up against other ways to sell a Richmond house
That's us
If you have time and the house shows well, listing with an agent may net you more. If you want it done without repairs or showings, that is where we come in. We tell you straight either way.
Why do Richmond homeowners sell their houses for cash?
Code violations, inherited row houses, rising tax bills, and worn-out rentals are the most common reasons Richmond homeowners call Propcash.
Relocating for work
Richmond's tech employers hire, and sometimes the better job is in another city with a start date close behind it. We can close ahead of that date, with no financing contingency in the contract and no buyer waiting on a lender.
City code violations
Code enforcement here takes older properties seriously, and the fines on an open violation only grow while the house sits. We buy houses with open code violations, and nothing has to be corrected before the sale.
Inherited property
A row house left to you can arrive with decades of furniture inside and a city file attached. Heirs sell to us without a cleanout, a repair bill, or a trip to the permit office. Take what you want, leave the rest. See how we buy inherited houses. Read our inheritance guide.
Property tax concerns
Reassessments have caught plenty of Richmond owners off guard. If the tax bill jumped past what the house is worth holding, a cash sale can close that chapter without a listing in between.
Divorce settlement
Two names on one deed usually means agreeing on a number first. You can sell a house in a divorce without staging it for strangers: both sides read the same offer, and the proceeds are divided at closing. Divorce home selling guide.
Tired of being a landlord
Old rental stock in Richmond asks for maintenance every single month. When you are finished with it, the rental can change hands with tenants still living there, and no eviction is required first. Our tired landlord page explains how it works.

We buy houses in every Richmond neighborhood
Church Hill row houses, Scott's Addition blocks turned residential, and everything in between: Propcash buys across Greater Richmond, whatever shape the house is in.
Property in Henrico, Chesterfield, or Hanover County? We buy there too, and throughout Virginia. Down in Hampton Roads you can sell a house fast in Norfolk, and out at the coast we buy houses in Virginia Beach.
Richmond neighborhoods, from Church Hill to Southside
Richmond is an independent city, separate from Henrico and Chesterfield counties, so city taxes, deeds, and courts are their own system. It is also a handful of separate markets under one name, and an offer has to answer to the one your house belongs to.
Church Hill, Union Hill, and the East End
Church Hill holds some of the oldest row houses in Virginia, on brick foundations that have been settling for a century. Renovation has pushed values and tax assessments up fast, which is hard on longtime owners and on heirs who inherit a house needing everything at once. We buy East End row houses in any condition.
The Fan, Museum District, Oregon Hill, and Jackson Ward
The Fan and Museum District carry Richmond's signature Victorian row houses on tight lots near Carytown, with VCU keeping rental demand steady through Oregon Hill and Jackson Ward. Prices run high here, but so do maintenance bills: slate roofs, old wiring, and party walls are expensive problems that stall financed buyers at inspection.
Northside, Southside, and Manchester
Northside neighborhoods like Barton Heights and Ginter Park are full of early-1900s foursquares and bungalows, while Southside and Manchester hold the city's more affordable stock, from postwar ranches to converted industrial blocks. Inherited houses, tired-landlord rentals, and years of deferred maintenance come up often on both sides of the river.
Sell your Richmond house in any condition
Century-old row houses and Victorian-era properties carry aging infrastructure, open city code violations, and maintenance that somebody put off for years, and that combination sends traditional buyers looking elsewhere.
We buy those houses as-is, so you can sell without fixing a thing first.
- Historic row home issues
Settling foundations, cracked brick, bowing walls, and party wall trouble are ordinary in a Richmond house past its hundredth year.
- Outdated electrical systems
Pre-war wiring, fuse boxes, and ungrounded outlets that insurers refuse to cover. The upgrades fall to us.
- City code violations
Open permits, building code issues, and violations a previous owner left behind do not change our answer.
- Deferred maintenance
Years of repairs skipped in an older rental are expected here and priced into the number.
- Old plumbing systems
Galvanized supply lines, cast iron drains, and a water heater near the end of its life: expensive to replace, and ours to replace.
Typical repair costs Richmond sellers avoid by selling as-is to Propcash

10 questions to ask any cash buyer
The questions that separate a real buyer from a wholesaler with a phone, Propcash included.
Read the guideWhat Richmond sellers are up against
Selling a Richmond house the traditional way often means inspection repair lists, spooked financed buyers, and carrying costs that run while you wait. These are the local realities we price around.
Century-old houses meet modern inspections
Most of Richmond's housing stock went up before World War II, and a good share of it before 1900. Knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized plumbing, settling brick foundations, and shared party walls come with that era, and any one of them can end a lender-backed deal. We expect them, price them into the offer, and stay at the table. Learn how cash buyers calculate offers.
Reassessments and code enforcement add pressure
Assessments in fast-changing neighborhoods such as Church Hill and Manchester have driven tax bills up sharply on longtime owners, and an unpaid balance turns into a lien. City code enforcement stacks fines on top of that for older houses with open violations. We buy with tax arrears and violations attached and settle them at closing.
Virginia's rules are seller-friendly once you have a real buyer
Virginia puts the burden of inspection on the buyer: the seller provides a standard disclosure form directing the buyer to investigate the property instead of listing its defects (Va. Code § 55.1-703). If the mortgage is behind, note how quickly non-judicial foreclosure moves in this state: written notice can arrive as little as 60 days before a trustee sells an owner-occupied house (Va. Code § 55.1-321), so starting early keeps the most options open.
Are cash home buyers in Richmond legit?
Cash home buyers worth dealing with work in Richmond, and so does the other kind, which puts the checking on you before anything is signed. Who buys houses for cash here? Mostly small flipping operations working the row house blocks, landlords buying near VCU, and national direct buyers like Propcash. Propcash buys as a principal: our name is on the contract, the offer comes in writing, and settlement runs through a Virginia title company or settlement agent.
How to vet a cash buyer in Richmond
A buyer worth your time can produce proof of funds, puts the entire offer in writing, and asks you for no money at any point. Step back from anyone who leans on you to sign during the visit, refuses to explain the number, or wants to skip a title company or settlement attorney. Our guides to the 10 questions to ask any cash buyer and the red flags to watch for measure us too.
What Richmond sellers ask us
How is Propcash different from Richmond "we buy houses" companies?
Most "we buy houses" outfits hand you one take-it-or-leave-it number and hope nobody measures it. Propcash is a direct cash homebuyer: we price your Richmond house against Greater Richmond market data, show how we reached the figure, and can close quickly and confidently.
How can I tell if a Richmond cash home buyer is legitimate?
Ask for proof of funds, the offer in writing, and a closing run by a Virginia title company or settlement agent. Nobody legitimate charges a fee upfront or needs a signature the same day they visit. Propcash writes every offer down, shows the local market data underneath it, and leaves you time to go over it with whoever you trust.
Do you buy Richmond historic houses with structural issues?
Absolutely. Row houses and Victorian-era properties in Richmond often show foundation settling, bowing brick, party wall problems, and framing that has held for a century. We take them as-is, whatever the structural condition, and nothing needs repairing first.
Will you buy my house with city code violations?
Yes. Violations turn up regularly in Richmond's older housing stock, and the fines keep adding while the house sits. Open permits, building code issues, and stop-work orders are all workable: we buy houses carrying violations and account for the fixes in the offer, so clearing them is not your job.
How fast can you close on a Richmond house?
Urgent situations can close in as few as 7 days, and most Richmond sales finish inside 10 to 14. Settlement goes through a Virginia title company or settlement agent, and a cash purchase skips the financing steps that stretch a closing out. Prefer a later date? Choose it.
How much will Propcash offer for my Richmond house?
Location, condition, and current market values set the figure. Propcash is a direct cash homebuyer, and the offer is built on local market data with the reasoning shown, so you can see where the number came from and decide from there. Nobody will press you to accept it. Read about how cash buyers calculate offers.
Are there any fees or commissions?
None from us. No agent commission, which typically takes 5-6% of the price on a listed sale, no closing costs, no inspection fees. Propcash is free for sellers. The state does collect a grantor's tax from the seller at closing, 50 cents per $500 of the sale price (Va. Code § 58.1-802), which applies to most sales and goes to Virginia rather than to us.
What are Virginia's seller disclosure requirements?
Virginia leaves the investigating to the buyer. Under the Virginia Residential Property Disclosure Act, the seller hands over a standard disclosure statement that directs the buyer to exercise due diligence instead of cataloguing defects (Va. Code § 55.1-703). Concealing or misrepresenting a problem is still off limits, but that framework is what keeps an as-is cash sale simple.
Can you buy my house if I'm behind on property taxes?
Often yes. Unpaid Richmond property taxes turn into liens that grow with penalties and interest, and a long delinquency can end in a tax sale. Selling for cash may clear that balance at closing and leave the rest of your equity with you. Details differ case by case; read our guide to selling a house in foreclosure or call us and we will talk it through.
Do you buy Richmond rental properties with tenants in place?
Yes. Occupied rentals are fine, month-to-month tenants included, and leases carry over at closing. No eviction, and no waiting out the end of a term before you sell. Our guide for tired landlords explains how the handoff works.
Do I need to clean out my Richmond house before selling?
No. Propcash is a direct cash homebuyer taking houses as-is: no cleaning, no repairs, no preparation. Leave the furniture, the belongings, the decades of boxes in the basement. Cleanouts are handled after closing. Take what matters to you and go.
