Chesterfield County housing by the numbers
- 377,869
- Residents
- $366,000
- Median home value
- 1990
- Typical home built
- 76.7%
- Owner-occupied homes
Nearly four in five Chesterfield County homes are lived in by their owners, so most of the sellers we talk to are people parting with a house they've had for years. The typical home was built around 1990, which means a lot of roofs, HVAC systems and water heaters are at or past their expected life. Those are the repairs that slow down a normal sale, and they don't matter to us.

The kinds of Chesterfield County houses we buy
Most of the houses we look at in Chesterfield County are brick or vinyl-sided homes from the 1970s through the 1990s, plus a growing number of newer subdivision houses off Route 60 and Hull Street Road. Older ones tend to need the same things: original windows, a tired roof, a crawlspace with moisture problems, and a furnace that has run its course. Newer homes usually need less, but we still see storm damage, deferred maintenance and the wear a rental picks up between tenants.
We buy all of it, and condition changes the price, not whether we'll make an offer. Split-levels, ranchers, two-story colonials and townhomes. Houses with a leaking roof. Houses that have sat empty long enough for the neighbors to notice.
We buy Chesterfield County houses in any condition
Leave the cleanup, the repairs and anything you don't want to us. We took these photos on real walkthroughs, and this is the condition we buy houses in.
The Chesterfield County situations we buy in
A crawlspace that stays wet
Central Virginia summers are humid, and many older Chesterfield houses sit over crawlspaces that collect moisture. Mold, sagging insulation and soft floor joists send retail buyers running once an inspector crawls under there. We price the repair into our offer and buy the house as it is.
The rental you're done with
If the tenant stopped paying, the place needs work between leases, or you just want out, we buy rentals with the tenants still living there and work out a plan for them with you.
A house you inherited
If the house came to you from a parent or grandparent, you don't have to clean it out, fix it up or list it. We can make an offer now and close once the estate paperwork lets you sign.
Behind on the mortgage
Most Virginia foreclosures never see a courtroom. The lender's trustee picks a sale date and advertises it in the paper. If you live in the house, the lender has to mail you notice at least 60 days before the sale. If you're behind, call early. Selling before the sale date pays off the lender at closing.
Storm damage from a fallen tree
Chesterfield has plenty of mature pines and oaks, and a big storm can put one through a roof. Insurance claims drag on and repairs cost money you may not have. We buy the house with the damage still there.
Moving on a deadline
A new job in Richmond, a move closer to family, a house you can't keep paying for while it sits on the market. We can close in 30 days or less, or on the date your move needs.
How selling for cash works in Chesterfield County
Here is how a cash sale works in Chesterfield County. You call or send the form, we look at the house and send a cash offer within 24 hours, and if you say yes, a local title company handles the closing. You pick the date.
If you're behind on your mortgage, timing matters. Most home loans in Virginia are secured by a deed of trust, which lets the lender's trustee sell the house without going to court. The trustee has to advertise the sale in a newspaper that covers the county. The sale can be held no sooner than eight days after the first ad and no later than 30 days after the last one.
If you live in the home, the lender also has to send you written notice by certified or registered mail at least 60 days before the sale. That gives you real time. If we buy the house before the sale date, the lender is paid off at closing and the sale is cancelled. The earlier you call, the more room there is.
How it works
Three steps to a cash sale.
Tell us about the house
Call us or fill out the short form. Give us the address and tell us about the condition of the house and your situation. That is enough to start.
Get your cash offer
We review the house and send you a fair cash offer within 24 hours. You'll see how we got to the number, and you're under no obligation to take it.
Close on your date
You pick the closing date. Closing in 30 days or less is possible, and a later date is fine if you need more time. A title company handles the paperwork and you walk away with cash.

In September 2026, 1,091 houses were listed in Chesterfield County, VA, up 21% compared with last year. Half were priced above $453,475 and half below, and the typical house had been listed for 40 days. About 1 in 5 sellers lowered the price they were asking that month.
Those 40 days measure time after the listing starts. Before that, repairs and cleanup can take weeks. Afterward, the buyer's lender may need about a month to finish closing. Listing may bring you the highest price if the house is updated and you have time to wait. A cash sale lets you skip that wait when the property needs repairs, is tenant occupied, or you need to sell sooner. Ask us for a cash price to compare with a listing.

Run the numbers on a Chesterfield County sale
Expect a cash price below what you would ask when listing the house. A buyer who promises otherwise is preparing to lower the offer after you commit.
Start with what you would keep from the sale. In Chesterfield County, the median home value is about $366,000. At that price, a six percent commission takes $21,960, with repair bills still to come. Count the repairs the buyer asks for after the inspection. Add months of mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance and utilities while you wait to sell. Then compare what is left with our cash price.
Listing can still leave you with more money. When it does, listing is the right choice. We want to tell you that upfront so you do not sell to us and later regret taking the house off the market.

What sellers say about working with Mal
"Malachi saved us from losing everything. We closed in 9 days and walked away with cash in hand. He was honest the whole way through — no pressure, no games."
"I was three months behind and didn't know what to do. Memorable Home Buyers explained everything clearly and made a fair offer the same day I called. Highly recommend."
"Malachi was a pleasure to work with. We inherited a home that we could not pay the repairs on. He gave us a fair price, and closed exactly when he said he would. Was a quick, easy and very convenient process."
"I had only 8 days left to stop my foreclosure. Malachi came in and showed me what options I had left, and once we agreed on me selling he purchased the home and was able to prevent that stuff on my record. I appreciate him for helping us."
"Me and my husband had a property we just didn't want to deal with anymore. It had leaks in the roof, needed a new water heater and a bunch of other stuff we didn't have the energy to fix anymore. Mal gave us a fair cash offer and made our downsizing process simple"
