“The Cash Offer Company”
Richmond is full of historic charm and character, but owning a home that needs serious repairs can feel like a never-ending burden. Whether you’re facing foundation damage, an aging roof, or electrical issues, the question is simple do you fix it, or sell it as-is?
Let’s walk through your options and how The Cash Offer Company can help you sell your home fast without putting another dollar into it.
What Counts as Major Repairs?
If your Richmond home has one or more of the following, you’re dealing with what buyers and lenders consider “major repairs”:
- Foundation issues
- Roof replacement
- Plumbing problems
- Electrical rewiring
- Water damage or mold
- Structural deterioration
- Pest or termite infestations
- HVAC or heating system failure
These problems often prevent traditional buyers from getting a mortgage. That’s where cash home buyers come in.
What Are My Selling Options?
1. Make the Repairs and List on the Open Market
This approach works for homeowners with:
- Time to wait
- Access to capital or loans
- Reliable contractors
- A home in a highly desirable Richmond neighborhood like The Fan or Forest Hill
But here’s the truth, repairs can spiral. A roof repair can uncover water damage. New flooring might expose structural problems. What looks like a $10,000 fix can easily turn into $50,000 or more.
2. Sell Your Richmond House As-Is to a Cash Buyer
This is the fastest and least stressful way to get out of a home that needs major repairs. At The Cash Offer Company, we buy houses in any condition. No fixes. No showings. No inspections. Just a straightforward offer and a fast closing.
Why Sellers Choose the As-Is Route
- No out-of-pocket repair costs
- Avoid contractor delays or permit issues
- Skip home inspections and buyer negotiations
- Sell fast — often within 7 to 14 days
- Great option for inherited homes, divorce, or relocation
We’ve helped homeowners across Richmond, from Jackson Ward to Bon Air sell homes that needed full rehabs or had been vacant for years.
Real Example: Selling With Structural Damage
A homeowner in Swansboro contacted us after being told their home had foundation damage. Fixing it would cost over $40,000, not including cosmetic repairs. We bought the home as-is, closed in 10 days, and helped them move on without sinking another penny into it.
