Hampton · Navy veteran-owned
Orders out of Langley, a house from the seventies that needs more than paint, high water creeping up the street, or a parent’s place in Phoebus nobody can get to. Send the address to a local, veteran-owned buyer who knows repair costs from the contractor side, and get a fair cash offer with no obligation.
Your situation
Maybe the assignment came down at Langley and the moving truck is booked long before the house is anywhere near photo-ready. Maybe it is the house you grew up in near Buckroe, and every visit ends with another list of things that need fixing.
Or the water is the problem. A nor’easter pushed it into the yard, the crawl space smells like it, and you are tired of watching the tide chart.
Whatever it is, you are not looking for a renovation plan. You want a plain answer on what it would sell for as it stands today, with nobody leaning on you to take it.
Your options
Here is the plain version of each path, including the ones where we are not the answer.
Why us
Remodeling Investment Group is Angel Gomero’s business, and three things about him matter here: Navy service, contractor work, and a long list of properties he has closed on as an investor. He is based right here in Hampton Roads.
Langley is an Air Force base, not a Navy one, but a move on orders looks the same in every branch: a report date, a pack-out and a house that has to be handled. Angel has lived that, so the closing gets scheduled to fit the day you have to report.
That contractor background shapes how we price, which matters in a city where half the homes date to 1974 or earlier. A tired heat pump is not a dead one, and a water stain on the ceiling is not a rotted rafter, so repairs get priced as they are instead of padded.
Langley Air Force Base sits inside Hampton, so PCS orders are a familiar reason to sell here. When they arrive, the house is often the hardest thing to pack.
Sell it to us and you set the closing date around your report date. No open houses during the pack-out, and no landlord duties to juggle from the next base.

Flood risk
In Hampton, flooding is not a rare event to plan around. The city’s 2023 environmental scan estimates that about 9,024 acres, close to a third of its land outside federal property, have a 1% chance of flooding in any year.
In its 2014 tidal flooding meetings, the city grouped areas such as Buckroe, Phoebus, Wythe and Back River. If you live in one of them, you know how the insurance quote and the buyer questions go.
We buy houses in those areas as-is: wet, dried out, half-repaired or never touched.
Older homes
Census figures put Hampton’s median build year at 1974. Many have good bones and some parts from that same era: wiring, plumbing, windows, or a roof that has been patched more than once.
Getting one ready for a picky financed buyer can turn into a project with no clear end. We price the work ourselves and buy the house before any of it starts.
Property taxes
Hampton cut its rate four years running, from $1.22 down to $1.14, and then held it there for FY2027. A steady rate does not mean a steady bill, though: the city said its revenue growth came mainly from rising real estate assessments.
Bills come due twice a year, in June and December. Miss a couple on an empty or inherited house and the balance builds fast, but a sale can pay it off at closing.
Rentals
Maybe you kept the house as a rental when you left Hampton, and now the repairs, vacancies and late payments outweigh the rent. There is no need to wait out the lease or empty the house first.
We buy rentals with the tenant still living there. You tell the tenant about the sale and who the new owner is, and the deposits get accounted for at closing, because the new owner answers for them.
Local costs
In Hampton, what you walk away with turns on two things: the city real estate tax that keeps running while you own the house, and the grantor tax Virginia levies when the deed changes hands, which is usually a seller cost.
Real estate tax, FY2027
$1.14 per $100 of assessed value
City Council kept the rate at $1.14 for FY2027, the same as FY2026, after four straight yearly cuts from $1.22.
Holding cost example: at that rate, a house assessed at $245,700 owes about $2,801 a year in real estate tax, roughly $233 a month.
State grantor tax
$0.50 per $500 of value
By statute the seller owes it unless the contract moves some or the whole amount onto the buyer, so check each offer for who pays.
| Example sale price | $245,700 |
|---|---|
| $500 units | 492 |
| Grantor tax at $0.50 each | $246.00 |

Selling to us

When a deed is recorded, Virginia collects a state recordation tax of 25 cents per $100, based on the price or the latest assessed value, whichever is greater. Who covers it comes down to the contract, since that Code section is silent.
Assessed values are set by the City of Hampton’s Office of the Assessor of Real Estate.

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!
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!
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
Yes. Any condition, any part of town: Phoebus, Buckroe, Wythe, Back River, Fox Hill and every street in between. Send the address and we start on your number.
Yes, we buy it as-is, with no drying out, repairs or elevation first. If the flood insurance program has already paid two or more claims on it, tell us up front: Virginia makes a seller who knows the home counts as a repetitive risk loss structure disclose that (Va. Code § 55.1-708.2).
Yes. Give us your report date, choose the day you want to sign before it, and we close then as long as the title is clear. Our owner served in the Navy, so we plan the closing around your orders and let them set the schedule.
No agent commissions come out of your side, and we cover standard closing costs. The grantor tax is a separate item: Virginia puts it on the seller by default, and only an agreement moves it to the buyer (Va. Code § 58.1-802). We walk through each line of the settlement figures with you before anything is signed.
Yes. Unpaid city taxes are usually settled from the sale money at the closing table. If a tax sale is already on the calendar, Virginia law stops it only when everything owed is paid before the sale date, so reach the Treasurer’s Office early (Va. Code § 58.1-3965).
Often yes, with one rule in mind. Say you inherited your mother’s house in Phoebus or Buckroe last spring. If an heir sells within twelve months of the death, that sale is generally not binding on her creditors unless an exception in Va. Code § 64.2-534 applies. Expect the title company to ask for more paperwork, and have an attorney look it over.
For a house in good condition, often yes. An agent sale tends to come out ahead when you have money for repairs and months to wait. Selling to us means accepting less of that upside in exchange for no repair bills, no open houses and a closing day of your choosing. Ask for our number and weigh the two side by side.
