Straight answers. If yours isn't here, call and ask — we don't do scripts.
How fast can you close on my house?+
Within weeks, not months. Because we pay cash, there's no bank to wait on, so the timeline is mostly about title work and your moving plans. Most sellers pick a date a few weeks out so they have time to move. If you need longer, that's fine too. You choose the closing date; we work around it.
Do I need to make repairs before selling to you?+
No. We buy houses in Richmond exactly as they are — roof leaks, foundation cracks, fire or water damage, mold, hoarding situations, code violations, unfinished projects. You don't need to fix, clean, or even empty the house. Take what you want and leave the rest behind.
Are there any fees or commissions when I sell to Blue Sky House Buyers?+
None. There is no agent commission because there is no agent, and we pay the standard closing costs (settlement fees, deed preparation, recording). The cash offer we give you is the amount you can expect to receive at closing, minus only your existing mortgage payoff and any liens or back taxes on the property.
How do you determine your offer price?+
We look at what the house would sell for in good shape (using recent Richmond-area comparable sales), what it would take to get it there, and what it costs us to take that on, then make a straightforward cash offer. We'll explain the reasoning plainly. If a traditional listing would net you more and you have the time, we'll tell you that too.
What types of properties do you buy?+
Single-family houses, townhouses, duplexes and small multifamily buildings, condos, and houses with tenants in place. Any age, any condition, any price range. We also buy houses with title problems, liens, or code violations — those can usually be resolved at closing.
What areas do you serve?+
We buy houses throughout the Richmond metro: Richmond City, Henrico County, Hanover County, and Chesterfield County. We also consider houses in nearby areas like Colonial Heights, Petersburg, New Kent, Goochland, and Powhatan. If you're not sure, call — if we can't help, we'll point you to someone who can.
