Most “we buy houses” companies can offer you one thing — a cash offer, almost certainly below market. As a licensed agent with 20 years of experience, I walk you through every option and tell you honestly which one serves you best.
Close in as few as 7 days. No showings, no repairs, no contingencies. Your home goes in front of thousands of investors simultaneously — they compete, you get a real number, not a single lowball.
List on the open market as-is — no repairs, no staging. In competitive markets, as-is listings attract multiple offers and often produce more than a single cash offer.
Light cleanup, priced right, sold fast — without a full renovation. Faster than traditional, higher than a deep-discount cash offer.
Own your home free and clear? Carry the note and collect monthly payments instead of a lump sum. Often achieves a higher total price over time.
Rent now, sell later. Lock in a future sale price today while collecting rent in the meantime.

Washington DC operates under its own law separate from Maryland and Virginia. DC has no county structure — the entire city is administered at the District level. Real estate transactions involve the DC Recorder of Deeds, DC Superior Court for foreclosure proceedings, and DC-specific probate law through the DC Superior Court Probate Division. Understanding these distinctions matters when you are navigating foreclosure, probate, or a distressed sale in the District.
We buy DC properties throughout all eight wards — from Capitol Hill and Anacostia to Northwest neighborhoods, Columbia Heights, Petworth, and beyond. DC values vary dramatically by ward and neighborhood; we evaluate each property individually and make offers that reflect the specific location and condition.
DC is unusual in that it allows both judicial and non-judicial foreclosure. Most DC lenders use the non-judicial process, which proceeds through a trustee and can move significantly faster than judicial foreclosure — as little as 30 to 60 days in some cases. If you have received a Notice of Default or know a sale has been scheduled, the timeline may be very short. Contact us immediately so we can assess whether there is time to close before the sale date.
DC probate is handled through the DC Superior Court Probate Division. The process is similar to Maryland — Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration must be issued before estate property can be transferred. DC does not impose a separate inheritance tax, but DC has its own estate tax for estates above the DC exemption threshold. We work with executors and estate attorneys throughout the DC probate process.
DC median home values are among the highest in the region. Even distressed or condition-challenged properties in the District often have meaningful equity given land values. A pre-foreclosure or estate cash sale that captures that equity is almost always preferable to a completed foreclosure or a prolonged probate listing. We evaluate honestly and move as quickly as the situation demands.
