Cash offer in 24 hours. Tax and lien payoffs are handled at closing, so you walk away clean. No repairs, no agent fees, nothing out of pocket.
The situation that feels like a dealbreaker to most agents and most buyers is something we handle every month. We've bought Hampton Roads houses with multiple liens, delinquent property tax bills, and open code-violation cases.
The title company orders payoffs from the taxing authority and any lienholders, and those amounts are settled at closing from the sale proceeds. You don't write a check, and you don't have to chase paperwork.
We use our own capital, so closings move at the speed of your title company — not a lender. If you need more time, we'll close on a date that works for you.
We buy as-is. You don't list, you don't show the house, you don't fix anything, and you don't pay a commission. The number we offer is the number that drives your closing math.
"Back taxes and liens scare off most buyers. They don't scare us. The title company handles the payoffs at closing out of your sale proceeds — you don't pay anything out of pocket, and you walk away clean."
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."
No. The title company orders payoff figures from the taxing authority and any lienholders, and those amounts are paid from your sale proceeds at closing. You don't bring money to the table to clear them.
We've bought houses with delinquent property taxes, tax liens, judgment liens, mechanic's liens, HOA liens, and open code-violation cases. We can't guarantee every situation — but we can run the numbers and tell you straight whether a deal still works.
Sometimes the math doesn't work for a straight cash purchase. Because we're also licensed real estate agents, we can look at other paths — a negotiated payoff, a creative structure, or a fast listing on the open market. We'll tell you which option actually nets you the most.
No. We buy as-is. You don't repair, clean, or stage. If there are open code-violation cases, we take those on after closing.
Only what's relevant to running the math on your house — the lien and tax balances, what's owed on the mortgage, and your timeline. We don't pull credit. Everything you tell us stays with our team.
