We Buy Houses in Washington DC: Your Questions Answered
How fast can I sell my house for cash?
Most homeowners get a written cash offer within 24 hours and can close in as little as 7 days. Because we pay cash, there is no lender, no appraisal, and no financing contingency to slow things down — you pick the closing date.
What neighborhoods do you buy in?
All of them. We buy rowhomes, condos, and single-family homes throughout the District — Capitol Hill, Shaw, Columbia Heights, Petworth, Anacostia, Brookland, and everywhere in between.
Do I need to make repairs before selling?
No. We buy houses exactly as-is — any age, any condition, with no repairs, cleaning, or staging required. You never pay for a dumpster and can leave behind anything you don’t want.
How much does it cost to sell my home?
Nothing. There are no agent commissions (typically 5–6% of the sale price), no closing costs, and no hidden fees. The cash offer we give you is the amount you walk away with.
What situations do you buy houses in?
We help owners through foreclosure, inherited or probate property, divorce, job relocation, and tired landlords ready to exit. We also buy homes with tax liens or title issues — situations that often stall a traditional sale.
District Homeowner Resources
Before you sell, it helps to confirm your property details and check for any liens or court filings. These official DC resources are a good place to start:
- DC Office of Tax and Revenue — look up your property’s assessment and tax record.
- DC Courts — search case records for liens, probate, or foreclosure filings.
