A note from Barry
"I've helped thousands of Hampton Roads families buy and sell as their agent — and personally bought hundreds of houses for cash when that was the right move. I started Legacy because the 'we buy houses' world is full of lowballers, and the regular agent world doesn't know what to do when you need to be out in two weeks. We do both. We tell you straight which one nets you more. Then you decide."
We've solved this before
We've closed Hampton Roads homes in every one of these situations — including hundreds that the seller thought were impossible. No judgment, no pressure, no questions you have to be embarrassed about.
Straight talk about price
Every legitimate cash buyer in America uses some version of this same math. Most won't show it to you. We will — before you fill anything out, so you know exactly what to expect.
After-Repair Value (ARV) is what the home would sell for fully renovated. The 30% gap covers our renovation labor, materials, financing, holding costs, agent commissions on resale, and the certainty you get from not waiting.
No commissions taken out. No closing costs charged to you. No repair credits at the end. That offer is the number that hits your bank account.
If your home needs $40K in repairs and would sell for $245K fully renovated, a retail buyer with a mortgage won't even tour it — their lender won't approve a loan on a house that needs that much work. We use our own cash, do the renovation, then resell. The spread funds that work and the risk. What you get is speed, certainty, and zero out-of-pocket.
If your home is in good shape and you have 30–45 days, listing on the MLS usually nets you more — sometimes tens of thousands more, even after commissions. Because we do both, we don't have to pretend cash is always the answer. We run the math both ways and tell you in writing which one wins.

Bought for cash
Bought directly from the seller as-is, full renovation handled by our crews. Seller picked the closing date and didn't lift a finger.
Bought for cash
As-is purchase, quick close. Seller named the date, we showed up with cash.
Bought for cash
Coastal property, bought as-is. We buy outside Hampton Roads too — Outer Banks, Northern Neck, Eastern Shore.
Bought for cash
Townhouse condo. We buy condos and HOA properties too — they're often harder to sell traditionally, which is exactly when cash makes sense.

Real questions, real answers
If we don't cover it here, call us. Real person, no phone tree.
We use the standard investor formula: 70% of After-Repair Value, minus the repair budget. If your home would sell for $245K fully fixed up and needs $40K in work, the math is $245K × 70% = $171.5K, minus $40K = a $131.5K cash offer. The bigger the repair budget, the further below 70% the final number lands — that's just the math, not a lowball. And that number is what you walk away with — no commissions, no closing costs, no repair credits at the end.
Because 70% is multiplied by the home's after-repair value, not what it's worth today. Then the repair budget gets subtracted. A house in rough condition with $50K of work needed will land closer to 50–55% of ARV after that subtraction. That's not us being cheap — it's just the actual math of what we have to spend to bring it back to market. We'll show you every number we used to get to the offer.
Yes. Free analysis, no contract to see the numbers, no fee if you walk away. We make money on the deals that work — not on stringing you along.
As fast as 7 days. Our average is around 9. We close on the date you pick — so if you need 30 days because you're still figuring out where you're going, that's fine too.
That's literally our specialty. We buy in any condition — and you don't have to clean anything out. Take what you want, leave the rest. We handle the cleanout.
Usually no — but timing matters. The earlier you call, the more options you have. We've closed deals 72 hours before scheduled auctions. Call (757) 555-0199 and we'll tell you straight what's possible.
If your home is in decent shape and you have 30+ days, listing usually nets you more — sometimes a lot more. We do that too. If our analysis says listing wins, we'll tell you in writing and offer to list it for you. Or you can list with anyone else. Your call.

Not sure cash is right?
Cash isn't always the answer. If your home is in good shape and you can wait 30–45 days, listing typically pays you more. Because we do both, we'll show you both numbers, recommend the one that pays you more, and either close in 7 days or list on the MLS — whichever you pick.
