We buy houses in Henrico County, VA
Sell your house fast in Henrico County, VA, for cash and as-is.
Henrico County wraps around the north side of Richmond and is home to more than 335,000 people. Plenty of houses here never sell the normal way. We buy them for cash, as-is, from Highland Springs and Sandston to Glen Allen, Short Pump and Lakeside.
Maybe it's a brick rancher in Lakeside that needs everything done to it, or a parent's house in Varina that has sat empty since the funeral. Send us the address and you'll have a cash number within 24 hours. You don't fix anything, clean anything or pay an agent.

Henrico housing by the numbers
- 335,744
- Residents
- $359,200
- Median home value
- 1985
- Typical home built
- 64.5%
- Owner-occupied homes
Nearly two out of three Henrico homes are lived in by their owners, so most of the people who call us are selling the house they've held for years. The typical house went up around 1985, which means a lot of them are now on their second roof and second furnace. Those are the repairs that slow a normal sale, and they don't slow ours.

The kinds of Henrico houses we buy
Henrico is a mix. Closer to the city line you find brick ranches and Cape Cods from the 1950s and 1960s, with original windows, aging furnaces and plumbing that has been patched more than once. Out in the west end and Glen Allen, there are a lot of two-story colonials and townhomes from the 1980s through the 2000s, where the issues are usually aging roofs, worn HVAC and deck rot. In the east, around Sandston and Varina, you see older frame houses and plenty of wooded lots with trees that came down in a storm.
We buy all of it. Condition changes the price, not whether we make an offer. That includes brick ranches, colonials, townhomes, duplexes, and houses that have sat empty long enough for the county to send letters.
We buy Henrico 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 Henrico situations we buy in
Storm and tree damage
Henrico has a lot of mature oaks and pines, and hurricanes, ice storms and summer thunderstorms bring them down. A limb through the roof or a soaked ceiling scares off most retail buyers. You don't have to fight with an insurance adjuster or hire a roofer first. We make an offer on the house as it stands.
An aging house that needs everything
Houses built in the 1950s and 1960s along the Richmond line often have old plumbing and a basement that takes on water after heavy rain. A buyer with a loan and an inspector will ask you to fix all of it. We price the work into the offer and skip the list.
The rental you're done with
Henrico has a steady rental market, especially around Brookland and Highland Springs. If the tenant stopped paying or the unit needs work between leases, we buy rentals with the tenants still in place and work out a plan for them with you.
A house you inherited
If the house came to you from a parent or relative, you don't have to clean it out, repair it or list it. We can make an offer now and close once you're able to sign.
Behind on the mortgage
In Virginia, most foreclosures never go through a courtroom. The lender's trustee runs the sale, and the law says a notice has to be mailed to you at least 60 days before it. If you're behind, call early. Selling before the sale date pays off the lender at closing and stops the sale.
Moving on a deadline
A job in Northern Virginia, a move closer to family, a house you can't keep paying for while it sits. We close in 30 days or less, or on the date your move needs.
How selling for cash works in Henrico
Here is how a cash sale works in Henrico 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 title company handles the closing. In Virginia that's called settlement, and you pick the date.
If you're behind on your mortgage, timing matters. Virginia foreclosures are usually run by a trustee named in your deed of trust, not by a judge. The trustee has to put a notice in a newspaper that covers Henrico, and the sale has to be held at least 8 days after the first ad and no more than 30 days after the last one. For a home you live in, the lender also has to mail you a notice by certified or registered mail at least 60 days before the sale.
That gives you about two months from the day the letter goes out. If we buy the house before the sale, the lender is paid off at closing and the sale stops. Behind on property taxes too? Henrico runs its delinquent tax sale online, so deal with that early as well.
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, 681 houses were listed in Henrico County, VA, up 24% compared with last year. Half were priced above $427,475 and half below, and the typical house had been listed for 38 days. About 1 in 6 sellers lowered the price they were asking that month.
Those 38 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 Henrico 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 Henrico, the median home value is about $359,200. At that price, a six percent commission takes $21,552, 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"

Our promise to you
Four things you can count on when you sell to us
Mal is your contact throughout the sale, from your first call through closing. We make these four promises for every house we buy.
The number holds
Your settlement statement will show the price we agreed to if the property is as you described it by phone. If we find a major issue during the walkthrough that you had not mentioned, we explain the difference to you before proceeding.
A contract you can read
We use plain English in our purchase agreement. Bring it home for your family to read. Before signing, ask us to explain any part you have questions about.
You pick the date
On our first call, let us know when you need to close. If that date will not work for us, we tell you during that call. You will know before making a commitment.
An honest answer, even when it costs us the sale
We tell you when selling through an agent would bring you more money. A cash sale does not suit everyone. We want you to hear that from us.
Whatever's going on with your Henrico house, we can help.
