How it works
You need to sell, and you want to know what you are getting into before you hand anyone your address. Fair enough. Here is every step of a direct, as-is sale to Remodeling Investment Group, with nothing skipped.
The short version
Asking for an offer commits you to nothing. Nothing moves forward until you say yes.
Step by step
The same steps for every house: inherited, rented out, flooded, half-renovated or just tired.
Start with the address and a few details: what kind of house it is, what shape it is in, what is going on, and when you would like to be done. It takes a few minutes, and there is no obligation.
Be straight with us about the condition. A tired roof or a wet crawl space does not end the conversation. It just goes into the number.

Next we set a time to see the house in person, at a time that works for you. Nothing needs to be cleaned, fixed or explained. We want to see the house as it really is.
This is where a contractor’s eye matters. Angel has worked as a contractor, and we look at your house the way you would if you were bidding the job: the roof, the HVAC, the floors and any sign of water.
If tenants live there, or you have already moved away, tell us. We plan the visit around them and around you.

Then you get a fair, no-obligation cash offer for the house in the shape it is in right now, and the reasoning that goes with it.
The number starts from what similar houses nearby sell for once they are fixed up. From there come the repairs your house needs, priced from what we saw at the walkthrough. The number also accounts for what it costs to buy, hold, fix and resell the house, and we explain that part too.
We walk you through the main repairs we priced in, and why. Say the roof has a few years left, the HVAC is original and the subfloor by the tub is soft. Those are the things we talk through with you. If you think we got something wrong, tell us and we look at it again.
Behind the scenes, our partner Jennifer Quintanar, a licensed real estate agent with Elite Realty Group, helps us check the numbers. She is one of the licensed real estate professionals we work directly with, and she sits on our side of the table, not yours. If you want someone on your side, ask an attorney or an agent of your own to read the offer.
And we tell you what happens to the house after you sell. Depending on the house, we may renovate it ourselves, or our purchase contract may be assigned to another buyer. Either way, we tell you upfront, in writing, before you sign anything.
Take the time you need. Talk it over with family first if you want. If the number is not right for you, you walk away owing nothing. You never pay us to make an offer.

If you say yes, the terms go into a written purchase agreement, and you choose the closing date. Soon, or later once the school year ends. It is your call.
Moving on orders? Give us your report date and your pack-out date, and we work backward from them to a closing date that fits.
The sale closes on the date you pick, once title is clear.

Your sale closes through a settlement agent. Virginia law defines one as someone other than the buyer or seller who provides the closing services: ordering title insurance, preparing the settlement statement, conducting the closing, handling the money and arranging for the deed to be recorded (Va. Code § 55.1-1000).
Before closing, the title gets searched. If something turns up, such as an old lien, a judgment or a late owner still on the title, it gets cleared first. That is what “once title is clear” means.
At closing you sign the deed and the settlement papers. Any mortgage or liens are paid off from the sale, and the settlement agent pays you what is left.
On costs: no agent commission comes out of your proceeds, and we cover standard closing costs. The grantor tax is the seller’s by default under Virginia law, unless the buyer agrees to cover some or all of it (Va. Code § 58.1-802(A)). Before closing you get the settlement statement, a line-by-line list of where every dollar goes. Read it and ask about anything.

Have these handy
Less than you might think. If something on this list is missing, that is fine. Tell us and we work out the next step together.
Skip all of it
No repairs, no cleaning, no showings. The house goes to closing as-is, in any condition.

Selling to us is not right for every house. Here is when each choice makes sense.

Who you are dealing with
Angel has worked as a contractor. The repairs in your offer are priced by people who know what that work takes, not by a formula, and in step 3 we walk you through them.
Angel is a U.S. Navy veteran. When orders are driving the move, the report date is the one thing that cannot slide, and he plans the closing with that in mind.
As an investor, Angel has closed on a lot of properties, and we are based here in Hampton Roads. If a question comes up the week before closing, you call us, not a national franchise or an app, and you can still reach us even if the contract has been assigned.

Saved me from a huge headache!
I inherited a property that needed a massive amount of work—roof leaks, outdated plumbing, you name it. I didn’t have the time or funds to fix it up before putting it on the market. Remodeling Investment Group came through with a fair cash offer within 24 hours. The process was smooth, transparent, and we closed in under two weeks. Couldn't recommend them enough!
Seamless experience from start to finish.
I had to relocate for a new job on short notice and needed to sell my home fast without dealing with endless open houses or repair demands from retail buyers. Remodeling Investment Group made a direct cash offer, handled all the paperwork, and let me pick my closing date. Truly stress-free!
Perfect solution for landlords ready to step away.
After dealing with problematic tenants and constant repairs on my rental property, I was ready to exit. Remodeling Investment Group bought the property as-is—no cleaning or repairs required. They were honest, polite, and kept every promise they made. A top-tier team!
Questions
It depends mostly on the closing date you pick and on how quickly title clears. The sale closes on the date you choose, once title is clear. A simple title moves faster; an estate, an old lien or a missing signature can take longer, and we tell you if we see one coming.
No. The walkthrough and the offer cost you nothing, and an offer is only that: you can turn it down.
At step 3, along with your offer, and always before the purchase agreement in step 4. Depending on the house, we may renovate it ourselves, or our purchase contract may be assigned to another buyer. You get that in writing while you are still deciding, so nothing about it is a surprise at the closing table.
A settlement agent runs it. Virginia law describes one as someone who is not a party to the sale and who provides escrow, closing or settlement services (Va. Code § 55.1-1000). Their job is the closing itself: the title work, the money, the papers and the recording. None of us represents you in this sale. If you want someone in your corner, have an attorney or your own agent read the purchase agreement before you sign it in step 4.
We cover standard closing costs, and selling to us directly means no agent commission. The grantor tax works differently. By default, Virginia law makes the seller responsible for it, though a buyer can agree to take on part or all of it (Va. Code § 58.1-802(A)). Who pays it in your sale is written into the purchase agreement, so you know before you sign anything.
That is common and usually fine. The mortgage and any liens are paid off from the sale at closing, and the settlement agent pays you what is left. Owe more than it is likely worth? Say so early, and we will talk through it honestly.
Yes. We make offers on rentals with the tenants still in them and plan the walkthrough around them. Under Virginia law, the landlord has to tell the tenant about the sale and pass along the new owner’s name, address and a phone number where they can be reached (Va. Code § 55.1-1216(B)).
Yes, once the right person has authority to sell. Watch the calendar, too. If an heir sells during the first year after the owner died, Virginia law generally leaves that sale open to the creditors of the person who died, with some exceptions (Va. Code § 64.2-534(C)). That is why the settlement agent may ask for extra steps on a recent estate. An attorney can tell you what applies to yours.
Someone needs to let us into the house, and every owner has to sign at closing. If you have already moved, for example on PCS orders, tell us early, so the signing can be planned around where you are and the settlement agent can tell you what they need.
Before you sign a purchase agreement, you can say no at any point, no questions asked. Once you sign, the agreement’s terms apply, so read it carefully and ask us, or an attorney, about anything that is not clear.
