I have an excellent experience! Very streamlined and simple. A great pleasure!
Eagle Cash Buyers helped me to stop a foreclosure. My home was 2 days away from an auction. For a company who invests in buying homes for profit they helped my family keep mine. So grateful.

Richmond Homeowners We Help
Richmond sellers arrive with very different houses and reasons. Some own a house from the early 1900s that needs work, some a rental with tenants, some an inherited property or a house that has sat empty.
An Older House That Needs Work
Richmond has neighborhoods built mostly between the end of the Civil War and the early 1900s, and houses that old can have original wiring, plumbing, roofs or windows. You do not need to repair, paint or clean out the house before you ask for an offer. We buy houses in the condition they are in, and the offer takes that condition into account.
A Rental With Tenants in Place
If tenants live in your Richmond rental, you can still ask for an offer. An existing lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, but what that means for your sale depends on the lease terms. Send the rent, the lease end date and whether the tenants plan to stay, and we will tell you how we would handle it.

An Inherited House
Inheriting a house can mean siblings in different cities, a property nobody wants to keep and paperwork that moves slowly. Send us the address and where things stand, and we can talk through timing. What has to happen legally before a sale depends on the estate, so your estate attorney is the person to confirm that.

A House You Have to Sell in a Divorce
When a marriage ends and the house has to be sold, a written offer gives both owners a concrete number to talk through with each other and with their attorneys. You choose the closing date within our usual range, and we can go later if the two of you need more time.

A Vacant House
A house that sits empty keeps producing bills: property taxes, insurance, utilities and upkeep. If yours is vacant, tell us so when you send the address. We buy vacant houses as-is, so you do not need to stage it, clean it or hold an open house.
Related guide: Selling a Vacant House for Cash
A House in a Historic District
Richmond's Commission of Architectural Review must approve exterior changes to houses in the city's Old and Historic Districts, through a Certificate of Appropriateness. That approval applies to whoever owns the house and plans exterior work, including the next owner, so mention it if yours is in one. You can still ask us for an offer.
Tell us about the property and you will hear back within one business day. Send it on a weekend and that means the next business day. There is no pressure either way.
Get My Cash OfferWhat the Numbers Actually Look Like - Cash Sale vs. Listing vs. Instant-Offer Programs
Sellers in Richmond are right to ask about the net rather than the headline offer price. On a typical listing, agent commission, closing costs, the Virginia Grantor's Tax and repairs can all come out before you see a dollar. Here is how the three paths compare.
| Cost or Factor | Eagle Cash Buyers (Cash Sale) | Traditional Listing (Agent) | Instant-Offer Program (iBuyer) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Agent Commission | None - $0 | Negotiable, not fixed. For illustration only, a typical 5% to 6% commission on a $364,700 sale is about $18,200 to $21,900 | Usually none, though a service fee often applies |
| Repairs Before Sale | None - we buy as-is | Often paid by you before listing, or given back in price, and buyers' inspections often ask for more | Often deductions for repairs after the inspection |
| Virginia Grantor's Tax | About $1.00 per $1,000, the seller's by default. Your share is paid from your proceeds, as set out in the purchase agreement and shown on your settlement statement | The same tax applies | The same tax applies |
| Seller Closing Costs | We pay the closing costs, except your share of any transfer tax. Your mortgage payoff, any liens and prorated property taxes are paid from the sale proceeds. | Title, recording and closing fees, plus prorations; amounts vary by contract | A service fee set by each platform |
| Days to Close | Most close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time; you pick the date | Weeks on the market, then weeks more to close, and a financed buyer's loan can still fall through | Set by each platform, and instant-offer programs buy only in some areas |
| Showings and Inspections | No public showings. Walkthroughs and any reinspection are as set out in the agreement | Multiple showings, buyer inspection, possible renegotiation after inspection | Usually a company inspection, often with repair deductions |
| Financing Contingency Risk | No buyer mortgage contingency. Other contract terms still apply | Buyer financing can fall through weeks into the process | Low risk, but platform rules apply |
| Condition Required | We buy as-is - no updates needed | Buyers and agents expect move-in or near-move-in condition for top dollar | Varies - iBuyers often exclude significant distress |
Your actual net depends on your loan payoff, prorations and contract terms. We walk through it with you before you sign anything. Instant-offer terms vary by company and change often.
Skip the listing process. Close on your schedule, in Richmond, with no agent commission and the closing costs covered, apart from your share of any transfer tax.
See What We'd PayAn Example From a Real Call
One homeowner who contacted us was the administrator of an estate in which the local court, not a person, was the executor of record. In that situation the court had to be told the closing date in advance, so the sale needed the estate's attorney involved, and the homeowner was told we would coordinate with that attorney on the timing. Procedures like this vary by jurisdiction, so anyone in a similar position should confirm the requirements locally.
Three Steps, From First Call to Closing
Sellers ask whether a cash sale is complicated. Usually it is not: we work with Virginia attorneys and title companies who coordinate the paperwork, and you sign in person or remotely, as the closing attorney or title company arranges. Here is how it runs.
Tell Us About Your Property
Call us at (833) 330-1625 or fill out the form on this page. We ask a few basic questions: the address, the condition and your situation. No obligation, no hard pitch. Tell us what you know about the roof, plumbing, foundation and any past damage. See how our closing process works, start to finish.
Receive Your Cash Offer Within One Business Day
We look at the property, recent comparable sales in Richmond, and the repair costs, which we take off the price rather than asking you to do the work. You get a written cash offer with no agent commission. It shows the price, the contingencies and your estimated net before you sign. To weigh it against a traditional sale, our Virginia page sets out what a listing costs.
Pick Your Closing Date and Get Paid
Once you accept, we open title with the closing attorney or title company, who handles the title search, the loan payoff and the closing paperwork. The Virginia Grantor's Tax and every other cost are shown on your settlement statement before closing. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, depending on when the title work clears, or later if you need more time; you pick the date. Anything that could change the price after we agree is written into the agreement, so you can see it before you sign.
Richmond Housing Market - What the Numbers Say
Zillow's Home Value Index put the typical Richmond home at $364,700 in August 2026, 2.6% higher than a year earlier.
A typical-value figure reflects mid-priced homes across the whole city, not the condition of any one house. A rowhouse that needs a new roof, a rental with a lease running or a home in a historic district can land above or below it, which is why we base an offer on the house itself.
Selling through a listing usually means repairs, showings and waiting on a buyer's financing. A cash sale to us skips those steps. In exchange, the offer reflects the work the house needs and the speed and certainty you get. Send the address and we will put a written number in front of you within one business day.

How to Check Out Any Cash Buyer in Richmond
These questions apply to us too. Any buyer should answer them plainly.
- Ask for proof of funds. A real buyer can show a bank letter or statement quickly. Ask us the same question. If we assign the contract, ask the closing buyer for theirs too.
- Ask whether they intend to assign the contract. Our answer: Eagle may purchase the property itself or, if the purchase agreement permits, assign its contractual rights to another investor or purchasing entity. Any assignment right is stated in the agreement before you sign. Assignment itself is not the problem. What matters is whether the right to assign is disclosed, whether the buyer stays accountable under the agreement, and whether the closing structure and deadlines are clear before you sign. Ask any buyer to put those terms in writing.
- Never pay anything up front. No application fee, no inspection fee, no processing fee. If money is moving from you to the buyer before closing, stop.
- Look the company up. Search the buyer's name in the business registry of the state where it was formed, and check that it is active. Eagle Cash Buyers, LLC is registered in Ohio.
- Get the whole offer in writing before you sign, including who pays closing costs and what happens if the buyer walks.
Where We Buy Houses in Richmond and the surrounding area
We look at houses across Richmond, from the older streets of The Fan, Church Hill and Oregon Hill to Scott's Addition and beyond. Mobile homes are the exception: we buy them only when the seller owns the land.
Neighborhoods and areas in Richmond
The Fan
The Fan is a Richmond neighborhood of late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century homes, and its historic district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 12, 1985. Most of it was built between the end of the Civil War and about 1920. Layouts and levels of updating vary from house to house, so we price the address you send us rather than the street.
Church Hill
Church Hill is home to the St. John's Church Old and Historic District, created by Richmond City Council in 1957 and the first of the city's Old and Historic Districts. Exterior changes in these districts go through the city's Commission of Architectural Review. If your house is inside one, tell us when you contact us, since that is something any buyer would need to know.
Jackson Ward
Jackson Ward was designated a National Historic Landmark District on June 2, 1978. Its rowhouses show Greek Revival and Italianate styles with ornamental details. Rowhouses share walls with neighbors, and we look at each one individually. If you own one, send the address and what you know about it, and we will send a written offer within one business day.
Oregon Hill
The Oregon Hill Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 5, 1991, and covers 84 acres near the James River. Most of its buildings date from the industrial growth that followed the Civil War. For a seller, that means a block of houses of similar age, each with its own history of updates, and we base the offer on yours.
Museum District
The Museum District, also called West of the Boulevard, is anchored by museums including the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. It was mostly built between 1895 and 1940, largely as townhouses. Townhouses come in many layouts, so we base an offer on the house you send us, not the block.
Scott's Addition
The Scott's Addition Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 12, 2005, and Wikipedia describes it as a largely commercial and industrial section of Richmond, with apartment complexes also being built there. Because the area mixes uses, a property there may be a house, a converted building or something in between. Tell us what you own and we will say whether it fits what we buy.
Neighborhood details are drawn from public sources, including en.wikipedia.org and rva.gov. Conditions vary from house to house.
Main ZIP codes: 23219, 23220, 23221, 23222, 23224, 23225, 23226, 23227, 23230, 23234, 23235

Richmond Seller Questions
Questions Richmond Homeowners Raise Before Choosing a Cash Buyer
Timing, older houses, tenants, historic districts, estates and closing costs, answered briefly.
Who pays closing costs when I sell my Richmond house to you?
We pay the closing costs on a sale to us, except your share of any transfer tax, and the purchase agreement sets this out. Eagle does not charge you an agent commission on a direct sale to us. Your mortgage payoff and any liens, delinquent taxes, HOA or association balances, agreed prorations and other seller obligations are deducted from your proceeds when applicable. The closing professional provides a settlement statement showing the charges and credits before closing. Transfer, deed, conveyance or similar taxes vary by state and locality. For a sale in Richmond: about $1.00 per $1,000, the seller's by default, subject to the purchase agreement.
How fast can you close on a Richmond house, and what sets the timeline?
We send a written offer within one business day of getting your details. Most sales close in 21 to 42 days, or later if you need more time, and you pick the closing date. What can stretch it is the title work, a mortgage payoff, tenants, or an estate that needs court steps first.
How do you decide what to offer on my Richmond house?
We look at the location, size and condition of the house, what comparable homes have sold for and the work it needs. The offer is in writing, and you decide whether to accept it. There is no obligation to say yes.
Do I need to fix anything or clean out the house first?
No. We buy houses in the condition they are in, and the offer reflects the work the house needs. What stays in the house and what goes is spelled out in the purchase agreement, so raise it when you send the address.
I have tenants in my Richmond rental. Can you still buy it?
Yes. An existing lease generally passes to the buyer at closing, but what that means depends on the lease terms. Send us the rent, the lease end date and whether the tenants are staying, and we will explain how we would handle it.
Do you buy mobile homes in Richmond?
Yes, when you own the land the home sits on. We do not buy a mobile home in a park or on a rented lot. If you own both the home and the land, send us the address and we will take a look.
My house is in one of Richmond's historic districts. Can I still sell to you?
You can still ask us for an offer. The city's Commission of Architectural Review reviews exterior changes to structures in Old and Historic Districts, which matters to whoever owns the house and plans exterior work. Tell us the address and mention the district, and check with the city's planning staff for the details on your property.
We are divorcing and the house has to be sold. How does a cash sale work?
You send the address and both owners get the same written offer within one business day. You choose the closing date within our usual range, and it can go later if you need more time. Talk with your attorneys about how the sale fits your settlement.
My Richmond house is vacant. Do you still buy it?
Yes, vacant houses are fine as-is. Tell us when you send the address that the house is empty and how long it has been. We buy in the condition it is in, so you do not need to clean it or stage it.
Do I have to go through probate before I can sell an inherited house in Richmond?
It depends on how title was held and Virginia law. Property held in the deceased owner's name alone may require probate or another estate procedure before anyone has authority to sign a deed. Property held in a trust or with survivorship rights may pass outside probate. A probate or estate attorney licensed in Virginia should confirm who has authority and which procedure applies. We can evaluate the property and make an offer while that is being established, but we cannot close until someone has legal authority to sign.
Can I sell my Richmond house with a lien or back taxes on it?
Often, yes. Delinquent property taxes and many recorded liens can be paid from the sale proceeds at closing, provided there is enough equity and the required payoff or release can be obtained. The title search or other closing review will identify items that must be paid, released or otherwise resolved. A disputed lien, an unavailable payoff or debts exceeding the available proceeds can delay or prevent closing unless the issue is resolved or the creditor agrees to another arrangement. Tell us what you know upfront so the closing professional can investigate it early.
Can selling my Richmond house to you stop a foreclosure?
A sale may help avoid a foreclosure sale if it closes in time and the proceeds are enough to satisfy the required payoff, or if the lender gives written approval to accept less. In Virginia, a home loan secured by a deed of trust is generally foreclosed by a trustee's sale rather than through a court case. We cannot promise to stop or postpone a foreclosure; that depends on the lender or servicer, the trustee or the court, the timing and whether the transaction closes. Contact us as early as possible and bring every notice you have so we can usually tell you whether our expected timeline appears workable. A HUD-approved housing counselor or an attorney licensed in Virginia can explain your legal options and deadlines. Our Virginia page explains how the foreclosure process generally works in the state.
Do I still have to make disclosures if I sell my Richmond house as-is?
Selling a property as-is does not automatically eliminate disclosure obligations under applicable federal, state or local law. Tell us what you know about the roof, plumbing, electrical system, foundation, environmental conditions and any past damage or repairs so we can evaluate the property accurately and address known issues in writing before you sign. Virginia has the Residential Property Disclosure Act, which may apply to your sale. A real estate attorney licensed in Virginia can confirm which disclosures apply.
Will Eagle Cash Buyers buy my house itself, or assign the contract?
Eagle may purchase the property itself or, if the purchase agreement permits, assign its contractual rights to another investor or purchasing entity. Any assignment right is stated in the agreement before you sign. The agreement also states the price, closing date or timeline, contingencies and other material terms. The closing is handled by the attorney or title company used for the transaction.
Eagle Cash Buyers is not a law firm, title company or tax advisor. This information is general and is not legal, title or tax advice. Laws, procedures and transaction costs vary by state and locality, and the purchase agreement and closing documents control each transaction.
